The Issue

For many Reaction Channels making content is something they love to do and has become their job! Eric Green doesn’t have the right to strike videos with content that he’s not the creator of.  With most content creators it first started with Bleach reactions getting copyrighted on YouTube. Then Eric Green and his team started to copyright other videos that have nothing to do with Bleach. Many creators are getting SO much strikes at once that their account will be deleted in 7 days. Which is unfair, because it’s fair use! Which results in many content creators/reactors having anxiety, high stress, sleepless nights, and many more difficulties because it’s their job that is unfairly treated.

So Dear YouTube! Please fix your copyright system.

under here you find an explanation that sums it up.

For countless individuals and creators, YouTube is not just a platform for sharing content, but a cornerstone of their livelihoods. Many rely on it as their primary source of income, nurturing communities and sharing meaningful stories worldwide. However, a serious threat is undermining this foundation and affecting the very essence of what sustains their day to day lives: the unfettered access granted to entities like Remove Your Media.

This organization, with its unchecked API access, has the power to unjustly take down videos, causing significant financial harm and emotional distress to countless YouTubers and reactors. This unchecked access is not just a technicality—it's a lifeline being choked. Imagine waking up one day to find your primary income source removed without warning, without reason, and without recourse. It's sadly an alarming reality for many right now, creating a ripple effect that destroys creativity and the will to create videos that are made with passion and love stifles freedom of expression, and impacts all those who depend on those creators aswell!!

The competency of Remove Your Media to fairly and justly utilize the power it holds must be questioned. There are numerous instances where errors have led to false claims, wrongful takedowns, and substantial revenue loss, affecting both creators and their audience. Statistics demonstrate a rising trend in the misuse of API access, with a notable number of claims being challenged successfully, indicating inherent flaws in the current system.

We entreat YouTube to immediately conduct a full and transparent audit of Remove Your Media's activities. Review their takedown requests thoroughly and revoke their API access if any malpractice or disproportionate actions are found. Implement more stringent oversight mechanisms to ensure that only deserving entities have this level of control, safeguarding creators’ work and income.

Let's stand together to protect the rights of content creators everywhere from suffering this needless destruction. By calling on YouTube to act responsibly and correct this injustice, we can foster a fairer, more equitable platform for all. Please, join us by signing this petition. Together, we can make a change that ends this madness.
