    @JDfromNY206 @YouTube They disrespected both NXT vets on the same night. This was terrible. Classic bait and switch by the old man and Bruce. This company sucks

    @TotallyNotMark @ToeiAnimation @YouTube This is really mess up, You shouldn't have to go through this nor put up with this crap, This show just how broken YouTube copyright system truly is

  • shiriseito こうけつ (@shiriseito) reported

    @TotallyNotMark @ToeiAnimation @YouTube Honestly even if you manage to win this fight and get your videos back, that's still not fixing the copyright law issues in Japan. This will continue happening unless people actively lobby for modern laws in Japan, which is doubtful

  • ChrimsonBonez 🎁🦌Kayla A❄️🎄 (@ChrimsonBonez) reported

    @TotallyNotMark @ToeiAnimation @YouTube This sucks so much. Any chance that the claims were done under a different name than toei? Not trying to defend toei at all btw. I’m just curious cuz I had a similar thing happen to me earlier this year, and if I can provide info or some sort of help I’d love to try and help

  • RaiserInfinity Raiser 💢 (@RaiserInfinity) reported

  • VelvetRipper RumDonkey (@VelvetRipper) reported

    @YouTube **** you and your stupid shorts. Support content creators that actually make some quality content, instead of pushing this TikTok short bullshit on us.

  • PayaPiper 🖤Catboy Berserk🖤 (@PayaPiper) reported

    @YouTube because of the removal of dislike counts I will now be posting malicious and deceptive content onto your platform from multiple sources. My audience will no longer be able to tell or communicate to others the lies that I am spreading. Fix your system, I will harm others

    @moraffreports @velvetvvulva @YouTube You do important work, Chris. I'm picking nits, for sure. Some advice from outside the HR bubble: stunts like this come off as unserious to us outsiders. I get it. It's just twitter. But still. Not sure it helps.

  • Lytle2Laura L3 (@Lytle2Laura) reported

    @HollyGo55 @LimoTelstar @YouTube How did that stupid tweet work for you? Get informed.

    @YouTube @TeamYouTube When you say "Creators" it is not those big companies and brands that makes you big money it is those normal people who makes genuine content so if you really care about those people please do something with you Copyright Policy it is completely broken.

  • jubiKaL Saibh (@jubiKaL) reported

    @TotallyNotMark @ToeiAnimation @YouTube Doesn’t toei allow doujinshi of their work that helps them get more fans? Isn’t that what this is?

    @TotallyNotMark @ToeiAnimation @YouTube *I can relate. The copyright system is broken and it does get abuse in so many different ways. The sh*t us youtube content creators have to deal with on the daily.

    @AnonymouShadoww @YouTube I did, she doesn't believe it and says it's all the "devil's work", she's not that open-minded.

    @JustLatasha404 @TheKingofReads @YouTube By not crediting all who help bring your vision to fruition is disrespectful and graceless. And unprofessional. Period! #PayLatasha #PayBlackWomen
