Not your platform, not your business. She doesn’t want solutions and instead will just give up and go back to work. But for anyone else: your own domain, videos on s3, sponsors instead of ads. Pay a techie to set it up if you are not techie. Use YouTube too but just for traffic into the site. Shorter/lower quality video there with link to site for better videos. Your site will have the better UX! You can get them on a mail list. Get closer to the audience. See if they want to pay for a premium membership.

Isn’t S3 or AWS for that matter also subject to DMCA takedowns?

  This is the beauty of using RESTful hypermedia! You can change video host without changing the URL your fans have bookmarked. Maybe use some Switzerland based host! In terms of the domain name system and takedowns: You are subject to the law still but I believe that it will be the law itself rather than a Go program in a google server saying “tough shit” Example: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_v._MikeRoweSoft https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_v._MikeRoweSoft

  Yes, but actual DMCA process, not YouTube's process that isn't really based on DMCA at all. The process DMCA uses is: 1) person claiming their copyright is being infringed sends a DMCA takedown notice to the platform. 2) Platform takes down the content (doesn't "keep it up and redirect revenue" like YouTube does) and notified the person who posted the content. 3) The person who posted the content can submit a counterclaim, at which point platform provider reinstates the content. Then the person claiming their copyright is being violated disagrees, they have to sue the person in federal court for copyright infringement at that point. Also there are penalties for making false DMCA claims. There don't appear to be ANY penalties for repeated, egregious violations of YouTube's own claim system. What YouTube is doing isn't DMCA enforcement AT ALL.
