How do you deal with vicious Youtubers?

It sounds to me like he is the one at fault here, not the bigger Youtuber. Using someone elses fame to get famous is a terrible way of doing things and it can lead to this. And do not think it is just the small Youtubers who get effected. Pyrocinical (over 950,000 subs) made a leafy style video about a prank channel and his video got took down, so he reuploaded just using the thumbnail from the persons video and it got taken down. You can't just expect to be able to attack anyone and have no retribution.

I would add the video if I could, but I can't post links.

Basically. The guy made a video about a bigger YouTuber, using bits of his content to comment on it and give his opinion. Suddenly the video received a copyright claim from the bigger channel, which is ok, because YouTube's content ID system is automated. So the guy just appealed the claim, stating it is fair-use, which it is, and after that they didn't release his video and if he disputes the claim again he might get a strike, which is sad.

FINALLY. Lol. I asked right in the beginning.

But anyway, if you dispute a claim and that is rejected, you can appeal that and possibly get a strike. THEN, you can file a counter notice. You actually have to google that to get Google to take you to the proper page to do it. From there, the claimant has to take you to court or drop their claim. I have yet to try it, but that's supposedly how it works. I've only found the page to actually file a counter notice.

Oh and they have 15 days after your counter notice to actually do something about it. If they don't take you to court, Youtube has to put your video back up. And I think they have to drop their claim. I've heard that it actually works too. It's a very, very obscured method of dealing with claims for obvious reasons. No one wants you to know how to fight back, even Youtube/Google, which offer no clear and direct way to get to the counter notice page.

I'll screenshot it and send him a message. I really don't care if he is criticising people, it is about the principle that people who talk about community try to silence their critics.
 
I can't comment on this video specifically because we don't have a link, but most "critique" videos of large channels boil down to "I'm jealous of big Youtuber X but don't want want to admit it, so I'm going 'objectively prove' that big Youtuber X makes poor content". My recommendation is to stop riding the negativity wave.
 
If you do it right and mean to actually critique someone that deserves it, then by all means, critique em. If you roast em, just expect a flame war, but don't worry about it. Do what you want.
