I wonder if DMCAing your own videos is still a viable strategy.

No but some people, who just want their video to stay up and don't care about the ad revenue, will purposefully add a snippets of content to trigger multiple copyright bots into filing competing claims. When this happens the video stays up until the claims are resolved and since there's no actual people involved and it's covered by fair use anyway they just time out eventually.

[edit: grammar]

Interesting. If you don't care about ad revenue, there's certain options.

General question: if one did care about ad revenue.. are there some up to date resources to learn what current best practices are?
