I'm not an author or artist, but you only need to search for tweets about copyright on Twitter to see it benefits the rightsholders a bit too much. If the term was shorter, maybe it would be different. Of course the reason the term is longer is because of rightsholders.

I made a YouTube video a long time ago in 2013. It's wild to think about the fact that somebody could be in trouble with copyright infringement over that video in the year 2141.

I expect to live at least another 50 years. In a large amount of countries copyright is granted for the lifetime of the author and an additional 70 years.

It seems a little excessive.
