Content ID is designed for flexibility as well: it has to catch a lot of transformative that might be applied to try to bypass it. Perhaps you've noticed that actually evasive material has increasingly terrible effects layered in as the years go on... (I remember recently finding a cartoon that looked like it was a zoomed in camcorder recording from a CRT... But emulated in effects layers.) I've also seen things subtly slowed down or sped up, strangely cropped, bordered, then given animated borders once that stopped working.

Between an incessant evasion arms race and a content generation industry all to happy to profit from false claims, I just think to myself, "this is why we can't have nice things."
