Years and years ago before YouTube let everyone upload videos above ten minutes, I uploaded an episode of a cartoon and it was put on hold for being too long. I didn't do anything after that, though. I just left it alone and it stayed in that state on my account ever since. Until last month, anyway. I decided to click the "reprocess" button just to see what would happen. To my surprise, it did it, and then my account was immediately hit with a copyright strike. It really seems weird to me that it didn't "count" until it was successfully processed. Surely YouTube could have detected it at pretty much any other time, but they didn't. Just a weird YouTube copyright anecdote I wanted to share.
