Fuck him now that he started copyright striking channels that were under fair use

Care to share a source on this? I’d like to know more.

I’m guessing it’s about this

TL;DR People who make reaction content should really get permission from the original creator.

I mean, that’s a courtesy, but if it falls under fair use, get over it. VTH videos are transformative, as he provides additional context, corrects inaccuracies, and more.

Would the same argument work for movies, can I upload the entire Oppenheimer to youtube if I sometimes add an edit explaining some scenes or adding context, for example? Is that also transformative?
Cuz I don't mind react videos on their own, but the common issue is they basically re-upload the entire original video and people who watch that don't have to give views to the original. IMO react videos shouldn't contain more than 50% of the original.

He filed against Vlogging Through History at least and a couple other history channels I don’t watch. The strikes were reversed when CGPGrey didn’t file suit after VTH appealed.
This is the only video YouTube search is giving me right now.
