Small Youtubers Fair Use Problems?

Uploaded a video, got hit by worldwide block, disputed the claim, got a strike because they rejected my dispute, disputed the strike, won, got the strike removed. Literally the same day I beat this sh*tty ordeal that lasted like 45+ friggin' days, the same claimant put the exact same worldwide block on my video.

So I deleted the friggin' video, went back and re-edited to cut stuff that was getting snagged by the Content ID worldwide block, and reuploaded the video. Then I did this again because the first time it wasn't enough apparently. Second time it worked out fine and I haven't had a problem with that video since then.

It's easier to pull your video down and re-edit it until it isn't hit by Content ID than it is to try and dispute that crap - it's super pathetic. You can win but it's usually not worth it due to the potential of getting re-hit by the same claimant (I had one video where I disputed the CID, and the CID expired after 30 days, and that hasn't been re-hit yet, but you just never know).

I schedule all my videos at minimum a few hours in advance now so if they happen to get snagged by Content ID, I can take them down before they're even public, re-edit, and upload them again. Luckily I've only actually had to do this again a single time since that first clusterf**k.
 
I usually show video footage without any sound aside from my voice and music I know is claim-free, so I don't have many issues. But the matter that fair use has been dead for years disgusts me regardless. And what I find "amusing" is that the situation is NEVER going to change regardless of how big are the content creators protesting.

It's not that Fair Use is entirely dead, it's basically that some companies don't have any clue of what Fair Use is, don't get it wrong.

You can only re-edit until you have 1000 views or something like that, i guess

Not entirely true. Your video must meet the following criteria:
  • View count: Video hasn't received over 100,000 views.
  • Time: Video is shorter than two hours.
  • Content ID: Video doesn't have a Content ID match.

This must be new, I remember you couldn't change your video and save it if you had more than 1000 views or something like that.

It's quite possible that it changed until recently, about a week ago they added a new "blur face" and "custom blurring" options, so...

YT's built-in editor can barely do jack squat - never worth using assuming you edit your videos in the first place.
