A big problem with Youtube's three-strikes approach is that it's the same for all channels, big or small. It doesn't matter how much good content you've produced or how long you've been making it, if you get 3 strikes in a short period, your account is deleted, same as any channel.

So channels that produce a lot of content or upload videos quickly have to be more careful about what they upload. There's no credit for good behaviour or allowance for the extra risk channels take if they post lots of videos, potentially getting a strike with each one.

But little old me only uploads one or two videos a year. So I can afford to have every video copyright striked and I'll suffer no consequences since they expire in 6 months.

It seems unfair.

We go through this every time there's a copyright law or something. Baseball is not a good system for moderation.

At least the billion hours of content added you youtube constantly needs no nuance at all.
