A Story of "Mysterious" Objection

One of the videos I uploaded got a copyright strike and was immediately removed by YouTube.
I am by no means complaining about the strike itself. But I have to say that the behavior of the petitioner is, to say the least, "mysterious." That is because...

The very same content I uploaded had already been published by another channel that has 60 times more subscribers than my channel, and that video has got 40 times more views than mine, but the petitioner seems to have done nothing about it. That video clearly states the name of the work in its title, so if the petitioner was able to find my video, he/she should be able to find that video as well.

This is the full story of the "mysteriousness."
If you really want to "protect" your work, wouldn't it be more effective to object to more influential channels with more subscribers and viewers? Well, that may be a different story, if your real goal is something else...

I totally agree. YouTube removed my video even before I even posted it because of copyright issues, even though the same song was already uploaded on some channel (that didn't belong to the author). I hate YouTube and their copyrights... You can say million times in your caption that the song isn't yours and belongs to the authors but YouTube will still remove it.

Corporate America version of YouTube sucks. I miss the old days.
