As much I love tom scott, he is ignoring the choices that YouTube made along the way were that precisely that choices. They didn't have to become this kind of platform.
Tom himself is owning/promoting nebula an alternative platform with quality curated content.
Youtube either could have become a pure user generated platform not engaging with big biz, and strictly following DMCA only : counter notice is not for Google's to review merit , claims like above are penalized, you have to take it court if there is a counter notice, no three strikes nonsense, no flawed content ID system - all of this is placate big biz.
Alternatively they could have become a curated content platform (like nebula) them wanting to do everything is why we are here.
Every other user content platform in video or otherwise is working perfectly fine with DMCA framework, they all have considerably less resources than Google.
P.S. Google's inability to put people to support content creators and this dispute process even for creators with 100' of millions of views is simply about Google culture of not believing in user/creater support (product) , big biz sure gets human support.
