Yes... content providers like the MPAA, RIAA, and other corporate organizations. Essentially, the Youtube system was permanently wired to favor the same set of interests that have corrupted the US copyright system. By automating their claim system and related customer service, Youtube achieves a high success rate for handling claims "properly" from the top few creators as organized by revenue. They probably give satisfactory service to the people who generate 90% of the money for the platform using their automated claim system, which is cheap to operate. In other words, their system handles the people who make them money and screws over anyone who's not big enough or corporate connected. People who don't make them enough money don't matter. I can hardly remember a time when Google's motto was "Don't be evil."
