Me? I think its completely appalling for The Verge to try to fix what videos you see when you search the verge by issuing Copyright Takedowns on the Videos that show up on the list that they don't like. its sensorship to try to fix their public image... and I don't think it ever should have gotten past the first person at Youtube as those videos were clearly Fair Use.
You might as well think of The Verge as The Mafia now according to their own article they released while issuing the takedowns about how Copyright Strikes can be used for blackmail or somethin like that
