- X4 13y agoSame here, I declined and got "virtually killed", no more playlist etc. Another short story. helped someone unknown become really famous. Got a DMCA takedown notice on all my videos, that's the "thank you". The best part is that the file I uploaded had no license, nothing. As said that artist was completely unknown. I thought about fighting back, then just said.. f* off.. I'll wipe and shut this account down. Not worth it.. She had barely 100visitors or less in total for years, had to delete her vids with some hundred million visits..

- geuis 13y agoThanks for sharing that. Pretty stark example of how Google is screwing up YouTube.
- wutbrodo 13y agoFor completeness sake, you should probably have posted her followup: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQSaGfsWamw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQSaGfsWamw Turns out she was completely wrong about having lost her data, the UI was just confusing in such a way that she thought she had. Don't get me wrong, that kind of confusing UI is very much Google's Problem, but "confusing UI" and "lost all my videos" are _very_ different in magnitude.
