I noticed `ChainPatrol` has a Github: https://github.com/chainpatrol https://github.com/chainpatrol There's a `report abuse` button on the right of that page.

we should make a bot to do this for us

The bullying didn’t happen on GH, so I'm not sure this is a good strategy.

  It's childish. Taking down their github isn't even impactful, and forcing github to be a court is playing games instead of using real courts.

Contrary to this, I'd like to see 3blue1brown actually get two more strikes and get deleted per YouTube "3 strikes" policy. Imagine the furor and outrage of that. One of the most popular, meaningful, and impactful channels done in by YouTube's (and the DMCA's) ridiculous policy [1]. The public outcry from this might motivate real policy changes both within Google and other FANNG companies as well as with lawmakers. Until a big channel gets stricken, this will continue to plague smaller creators with no recourse. We need a symbolic gesture of this magnitude to effectuate real change. [1] And it's not like YouTube would actually delete their data or we wouldn't have a way to restore it. This is such an important channel that there's no way it wouldn't be restored by Google or archivists.

    I would assume so, until proven otherwise.

    I don't think it does. Keep in mind though that 3blue1brown is peanuts compared to Mr. Beast. I would not be surprised if Youtube has a team dedicated to keep Mr. Beast happy.

      Imagine being on that team, and going home every day and reflecting on your career choices.

  I love 3blue1brown and have followed the channel for years. One of my absolute favorite content creators. But I think you're vastly overestimate how popular he is compared to other channels that have gotten copyright strikes, or how much YouTube/Google care. I also don't love YouTube's policy, but are you so confident there's a better policy out there?

    Out of curiosity I checked, and he's at 6.83M subscribers. According to https://socialblade.com/youtube/c/3blue1brown https://socialblade.com/youtube/c/3blue1brown (not sure how trustworthy the site is, but I believe it should give a general idea) it's 706th channel by subscribers.

    On the other hand, 3B1B's audience tends to heavily bias towards the tech crowd. I'm at a FAANG, and a decent number of our senior engineers know the channel. I agree it's not enough to directly push policy, but the impact is certainly larger than what the subscriber count might otherwise suggest.

Nobody cares about relatively small groups of geeks. People will write angry posts at Youtube, but there's nothing anybody can do. For example, RZX Archive channel (that hosted replays of ZX Spectrum games) was taken down by fake copyright strikes. Its author died several years ago, so nobody could fix that.

I'm flagging this comment for bullying. OK, I'm not but you get the point, right?
- the__alchemist 2y ago
  I do not claim this is a general, or perfect solution. I don't think there is one. I'm doing what I can, which is a good enough move, given the details of the situation.

  I agree with the gp. If we want a change we shouldn’t play by the rules. Also flagging our comments doesn’t do anything cause we don’t earn money here, and that is our leverage - you can’t do anything with us. We should create a community-driven abusive botnet that slaps projects like this back, and slaps hard. Because there’s no laws here. No one cares. No order, everything by the word of someone large enough. People should not be afraid of taking law in their hands when there is no law for all practical purposes. And using methods that are available and effective.
