Youtube doesn't want to stop things like this. It is only when studios get furious and go after Alphabet that they'll finally move to do something about it.

- chatmasta 2y agoYeah I guess that’s the interesting thing - where are the normally litigious studios? Tinfoil hat time – I’ve noticed these shorts cropping up from shows which are about to be re-released on Netflix…
- genewitch 2y agoThen that's not tinfoil bat that's just "oh they had a small marketing budget"
- chatmasta 2y agoSure but it’d be kind of weird if they chose to launder it through all these spammy accounts instead of doing it above board. I guess it’s more effective this way though. They get more reach than they would from their single obviously branded account, and as the rightsholder they know they won’t get any (valid) DMCA complaints. And at the end of the day, Google has no reason to care and users are happy. Sure it’d be nice if the clips didn’t have annoying background music but that’s the tax we pay to algorithmic incentives…
