Watched the first minute. So much wrong with this.
He states that the only reason LTT would do this is because LTT must have a profound ignorance of how technology works. (He's ignorant for not realising it's automated)
He then goes on to say that he received 7 copyright claims on his video, and that if he the receives three his channel gets shut down. So clearly he either doesn't know the difference between a copyright claim and a copyright strike, or he's intentionally misleading in order to generate drama.
He then goes on to state "as you can see I'm live right now" which would not be possible if he had received a strike.
For those unaware, a copyright claim can be from the automated content ID system (or issued manually) and will let the copyright holder claim the ad revenue for that video. You can dispute it, and if you dispute it in a reasonable time you will get all the ad revenue back if it's found the claim is invalid. It doesn't affect anything on YouTube apart from that specific video, and your ability to upload new videos is not affected.
Copyright strikes are a penalty system that YouTube has where you are issued a strike if a company/channel files a DMCA takedown notice against your video. This has to be done manually. A single copyright strike against your channel and you can lose your ability to live stream and YouTube will frown upon you and make it less likely your videos will be promoted on the platform. After three strikes within three months, your channel may even be deleted from YouTube.
So, from the first minute alone, he's proven he either lacks even a basic understanding of YouTube's copyright system and is entirely ignorant (which I doubt since he has what appears to be a rather successful YouTube channel), or he's intentionally misrepresenting the situation in order to generate controversy.
I can't be bothered watching the rest of the video he posted, cause from the first minute I can already tell it's complete horse shit.
The sad part is that fullscreen/LTT will review these automated claims and remove them - as they have been doing for other channels, including their own that have been affected - and I can almost guarantee that as soon as that happens this guy will upload a "I WON - I BEAT LTT" video claiming how he stood up to a greedy corporation and won.
The Linux gamer guy that also got an automated claim from LTT, he handled the situation much better. Although he also made a video about the situation, he handled it in a much more mature way and didn't direct abuse at LTT. He used his video to mainly explain why he felt that his video didn't infringe on LTTs copyright. As soon as it was resolved he quickly updated the title of his initial video, and released another video acknowledging that it had been resolved.
At the end of it all I was actually hoping that LTT could work with him doing a Collab to make another Linux gaming video... Just goes to show how you decide to handle or react to a situation has a big impact.
Nobody should pay much mind to Carey, to be honest. Having watched some of his old live streams in the past, it's clear he not only has breathtaking jealousy issues for channels bigger than him, but is insecure as a whole. Go back and look at his content - he shows clear ire and disdain for channels bigger than him. He's even gone so far as to call "other channels mentally ill" for thinking it matters how you apply thermal paste. I don't actually think anyone has said how it matters, unless you put too little, it generally performs within margin of error...meanwhile his method to "finger paint it on the CPU" only serves to make more of a mess than is needed.
He continuously talks trash towards "hobbyist and enthusiast" channels. Calling them shills etc. This is a guy with 1/4 million subscribers and he wants us to think he doesn't know how content ID works and that this is Youtube, and not Linus? All while alleging these things about Linus and his company, and THEN demanding Linus come out and make a public announcement and apology on the situation? Sounds like he just wants some free promotion.
The fact of the matter is he's publicly accused LMG, Linus, the other employees and fullscreen of falsely issuing copyright strikes and trying to take Carey down. This could get very, very messy and Carey could suffer some really serious consequences because of it.
What he should've done is contacted Linus or Luke and had a discussion about this in private to work out what has happened. Instead he decides to spit his dummy out, fire his mouth of and will now be made to look like the idiot he is in about 24 to 48 hours.
