I was watching some kid from Germany go into how he creates the sound track for his youtube videos. And quickly realized I underestimated the effort it takes to make youtube video. What seemed like a simple video, had a 15 layer sound track. Some people spend more time on editing the sounds than the video.

Here he explains how he does it if anyone is interested.

Yeah but what's scary is Youtube's automatic copyright strikes. I was watching this video where a guy created a soundtrack using samples from a site like freesound (the whole video was actually about making your own Youtube tracks) and as soon the video uploaded.. boom 5 minutes later he gets a copyright strike. He said in the video it happens a lot when you use freely available samples since the algorithm often confuses it. It was sometime back so I don't have the link right now but uploading Youtube and getting copyright notices sounds fucking scary that I wouldn't want do it at all.

Part of the reason (perhaps the whole reason) for that is that there's a cohort of people who upload commercial sounds to freesound for some reason. Extremely annoying.

That sounds a bit like an intentional false flag operation. Intentionally upload landmines into a free resource...
