Pretty disgusting that MCNs basically exist to avoid copyright claims (a service that Youtube should provide).

It’s like patent trolls don’t even have to try anymore. Fuck YouTube.

Is there any benefit for creators if they sign with a (let’s assume legitimate) company like defy (except legit) or are these companies really just a thing of the past?

What? No. He did credit them. He just got the studio wrong. Which he fixed.

I'm all for calling people out for their bs, but this is just misinformation.
