I've got a huge twist for you today that's going to leave you more stunned than the first time you watched Fight Club last night I posted a video going over some more fraudulent strikes which is becoming a huge issue that's plaguing the entire platform it's an epidemic sweeping through the first one was from the Manny show it's their second fraudulent strike that they've issued because their feelings get hurt this one was automatically declined which no doubt left Manny screaming into a pillow kicking their feet in the air wondering why no one likes them the second strike I covered was one that was not declined it fully went through and it came from Sniper Wolf or was it was it all just a ploy from the deep state to have us eating out of the palm of their hands as the New World Illuminati Shadow government actually worked behind the scenes to frame Sniper Wolf and she wasn't actually involved well maybe not to that scale but from all the evidence I've seen now it actually wasn't Sniper Wolf who filed that strike and it's a very complicated mess that highlights a very very rare problem on YouTube that I very much would like to talk about but let's go through the entire lore real quick so the story starts with a big YouTube channel named one giant onion talking about a strike they received in their channel for the video they made on Sniper Wolf he posted a three-hour video that was all just a big joke but it did use all of her content well I don't think like all of it it's not like he went through the entire Library of Alexandria here Gathering every single sniper wolf video but it used 3 hours worth and it resulted in him getting a strike many months later he went trick-or-treating and he got a [ __ ] razor blade laced Apple so the strike is a huge deal he posts this video kind of going over it and talking about the situation briefly and the video stays up for 9 days this isn't a small obscure Channel this is a Channel with almost a million subscribers so a lot of people make some noise about this wondering why Sniper Wolf is bullying channels that are making fun of her and she never responded to it or anything I eventually caught wind of this and I talked about it in the video I made last night about fraudulent strikes it's the second video I made in like a week on it because it keeps happening now after I posted that video sniperwolf went on Twitter to claim that she never issued that strike at all which got me scratching at the hairs of my chinny chin chin because it's exceptionally rare for someone to be able to successfully file a strike on behalf of someone else if they're not an agency for all the [ __ ] that I and many others give YouTube to their automated system when it comes to strikes they're actually pretty decent when it comes to [ __ ] put in the wood on impersonator strikes if someone is trying to claim your work and they're not associated with any reputable agency or it's not actually someone associated with you the strike is normally automatically declined and what that means is basically what happened to Tech lead and Manny show for their most recent strike attempts where YouTube says hey this is a load of dirty Barnacles we're not taking action we just want to make you aware aware of it that's what happens usually when someone tries to strike while not not actually being the person associated with the content now I can only think of two cases where an impersonator strike actually did go through and one of them was with the destiny 2 Community a couple years ago where a disgruntled gamer a Destiny 2 Enthusiast went on this [ __ ] rampage on YouTube striking innocent creators works and he filed all of them as if he was the official Bungie organization he pretended to be the real Bungie which ended up being a huge reputational hit to Bungie themselves cuz people all thought it was Bungie but really it was just some goober laring as Bungie he put on the suit and tie tightened it up and said it's time to go to work I'm miserable and I want to watch it all burn so that's what he tried to do false flagging a ton of channels eventually the sheriff on the Block Big Boy Bungie themselves stepped in and [ __ ] his face they said cowabanga dude and they let loose the Le dogs on him it's something that is taken very seriously when you impersonate someone and strike others it's illegal you can't do that which is why you don't see it very often so the other example by the way was Nintendo it's happened with Nintendo in the past as well though I can't remember what happened to the culprit in that case so some of you might remember from 2018 which I know is archaic at this point that's [ __ ] prehistoric by internet years but in 2018 alinity had that big meme about we should copyright PewDiePie should we copyright PewDiePie whatever where she was going to copyright strike PewDiePie cuz he was insulting her and she was working with an agency called collab DRM who does strike on behalf of creators fast forward to 2024 there's plenty of agencies just like collab DRM that do this that do strikes on behalf of creators in order to take down reuploads or sometimes just bully others into not talking about something they don't want posted it is a common practice in the industry so I decided to really stick my nose into this pile of dog [ __ ] and get a huge whiff of the stink here that odorous Methodist that every YouTuber is familiar with the copyright strike system I reached out to one giant onion to just send me all of the info about the strike which he was more than willing to do so I appreciate that I'm not going to post a screenshot because they're not mine to post that's up to one giant onion if he wants to talk deeper about it and show those I'll just talk about what was there so the copyright strike was filed by an individual who claims to be representing an agency a collaborative agency that works with Sniper Wolf so they were successfully able to file the strike based on the information that they are with this agency that represents sniperwolf thus they have the right to enforce her copyright this is a pretty common thing like I mentioned there are tons of scumbag Vermin that do this these corporate suits that take this action and many agents gencies that make this a core part of their strategy however what's definitely not a core part of their strategy is having the agents that are filing these takedown requests and Strikes use a [ __ ] personal Gmail account so that's where things immediately became very clear to me that this is probably straight up horseradish the email account was someone's personal Gmail they weren't using a company account it was not a professional email it was just random Joe blow's Gmail account that they're probably subscribed to browers through and that is uncommon typically when a strike is filed from a [ __ ] agency you'll see the email be from that agency this was not the case in one giant onions strike here I was pretty sure after looking even deeper into the email that this was all a scam a ruse but I have no [ __ ] clue what the motive would be for this since they didn't claim the video they're not making the money from it there's a scam through Spotify where some people will post audio and then copyright claim YouTubers that use that audio even though it's just common sounds like Super Mario making a a sound effect like Wahoo something like that common sound effects you'll have people on Spotify upload that audio and then claim YouTubers to make the money from the videos they use including that like the motive there is clearly to make money through this scam in this case this fraudulent strike this blatant abuse of the YouTube system it it seems like there's just nothing to gain they took down the video thus they're not making money from it like it it like the only thing they gain is making Sniper Wolf look evil so maybe it's something person personal there I have no clue but I reached out to Sniper Wolf directly about this just to 100% confirm whether or not this agency represents her I also could find no official mention of this agency ever working with Sniper Wolf so I feel like any agency that would have a Creator as large as her would be Plastering that all over their marketing material so this definitely seems like someone pretending to work at that agency and then filing the strike but I reached out directly to Sniper Wolf just to 100% confirm whether or not she's is associated with this group she confirms she does not work with them at all and even goes as far as to mention that this group has targeted her channel in the past as well I also asked if she' be taking any action against them for the impersonation strikes since it is illegal and we have already seen a legal case from this with Bungie as well as YouTube themselves doing this I mentioned this all the time YouTube dunked on a false Flagger back in like 2019 they [ __ ] ruined them annihilated them [ __ ] eviscerated them for this kind of dog [ __ ] so I asked if Sniper Wolf would be trying to take action she talks about how they're a foreign company so it's pretty hard and she's right since it is a foreign entity her options are kind of limited there so it's going to really be up to YouTube to solve this issue apparently this group has done this multiple times in the past and now they've just done it again so it looks like the only option to save the day is going to be sending up the bat signal and hoping YouTube will put on the cape and shut this group down and maybe they will pursue something legally against them because this is an issue that is spiraling out of control now YouTubers abusing the copyright system we've seen multiple times now Tech lead and the Manny show as well as a couple others in the past and now Sniper Wolf Being Framed for being one by a completely separate third party that has no association with her that's a huge problem if impersonator strikes are going to start to go through that's going to lead to complete [ __ ] pandemonium so this needs to be stopped ASAP and this needs to be made an example out of on YouTube's end I feel so apologies to Sniper Wolf I'm sorry for the big headache that this must have caused when she didn't do it she wasn't the one that issued the strike so yeah big update to this story here and hopefully a happy ending with YouTube getting that strike taken off of one giant onion's Channel as well as preventing that group from doing this kind of [ __ ] in the future and maybe this is pie in the sky like maybe I'm just on the [ __ ] crackpipe for this thought but maybe YouTube will do even more to make the strike system a lot more strict and a lot more difficult to have things like this squeak through the cracks so I I'm hoping I'm really on that [ __ ] hopium right now uh that's really about it see y
