🚨 ALERT to all Indian @YouTubeCreators 🚨 A random person filed a copyright strike on my original video. When I emailed him for clarification, he asked me to come on WhatsApp. On WhatsApp he demanded $1000 and threatened: “Pay or I will terminate your @YouTube & @instagram by filing more strikes.” This is pure extortion and abuse of YouTube’s copyright system. How is a random person allowed to take down years of a creator’s hard work? How are scammers using YouTube’s copyright tool as a blackmail weapon? My video was 100% original. I have already submitted a appeal Please help @TeamYouTube @YouTubeIndia @YouTubeCreators @GoogleIndia Please investigate this false strike and remove it immediately. This scam is destroying creators’ livelihoods. I have full WhatsApp screenshots & email proof.

@nighttraderr Thanks for reaching out! We've sent you a DM with the next steps. Let's continue our convo there

@nighttraderr @YouTubeCreators @YouTube @instagram Bro that guy’s english says it all. A random loser trying to make some living trying to steal others’ efforts. @YouTubeIndia @YouTube

@nighttraderr @YouTubeCreators @YouTube @instagram This is completely wrong @YouTubeIndia @YouTube @YouTubeCreators . Sadly this is true many people are scamming creators these days by filing fake copyright strikes and then demanding money. YouTube needs to take strict action against this misuse of the system.

@nighttraderr @YouTubeCreators @YouTube @instagram My Instagram account is gone. When I raised an appeal, it was also rejected by Meta and now my Instagram account has been permanently disabled.

@nighttraderr @YouTubeCreators @YouTube @instagram @YouTubeIndia Look at this and get it sorted ASAP

@nighttraderr @YouTubeCreators @YouTube @instagram Absolute disgusting. @YouTubeIndia your platform and your creators deserve better.

@nighttraderr @YouTubeCreators @YouTube @instagram @YouTubeIndia pls look into the matter. @TeamYouTube

@nighttraderr @YouTubeCreators @YouTube @instagram @YouTubeIndia kindly look into this right away.

@nighttraderr @YouTubeCreators @YouTube @instagram Never give your out your WhatsApp contact. Now that you done it. You can go to police officer, track the phone call, message of that person as well as the location.

@nighttraderr @YouTubeCreators @YouTube @instagram @YouTubeIndia are becoming worst everyday . They just blindly terminate the videos and channels.

@nighttraderr @YouTubeCreators @YouTube @instagram This scam is becoming popular nowadays. In most cases, insider staff are involved.

@nighttraderr @YouTubeCreators @YouTube @instagram @nighttraderr someone also commented on my edited video and saying "copy kiya hai" and late i ask her of which video then she asked me to give Instagram id. Don't know what fraud is going on

@nighttraderr @YouTubeCreators @YouTube @instagram A similar incident happened with one of my clients. Filed an infringement suit in Delhi High Court. The strikes stopped and Youtube started complying diligently. The infringers are begging to settle.

@nighttraderr @YouTubeCreators @YouTube @instagram Google and YouTube are totally unethical. It’s high time they be regulated by governments around the world. Especially since they bribe companies like Apple to default to Google search.

@nighttraderr @YouTubeCreators @YouTube @instagram This is a clear abuse of the copyright strike system filing false claims and demanding money off-platform is extortion. Platforms must verify claimants and penalize fraudulent actors or this system will continue to be exploited against creators.

@nighttraderr @YouTubeCreators @YouTube @instagram Average bangladeshi weak a $ $ kids everywhere scamming online for dollars... Don't worry bro, everything will gonna right 👍

@nighttraderr @YouTubeCreators @YouTube @instagram so, from process management POV its easier for the platform to accept all strike requests, and then deal with some rollbacks then to dig into each case thats why scam works perfectly on youtube

@nighttraderr @YouTubeCreators @YouTube @instagram Bhai tum chinta maat kro iski gand hamlog marenge

@nighttraderr @YouTubeCreators @YouTube @instagram Submit a counter claim he won't take it to court

@nighttraderr @YouTubeCreators @YouTube @instagram @YouTubeIndia guys please help him he is the real one

@nighttraderr @YouTubeCreators @YouTube @instagram Hey @YouTubeIndia please look into this

@nighttraderr @YouTubeCreators @YouTube @instagram Google has one of the worst policies to be honest. They are still living when they created these platform.

@nighttraderr @YouTubeCreators @YouTube @instagram They probably have someone inside.

@nighttraderr @YouTubeCreators @YouTube @instagram I mean DDoS his phone

@nighttraderr @YouTubeCreators @YouTube @instagram This copyright strike extortion scam is getting out of hand 😡 Random people fake-claiming videos on YouTube to blackmail creators for money, then threaten to nuke entire channels + IG too. (1/2)

@nighttraderr @YouTubeCreators @YouTube @instagram Why is it these massive companies protect the scum bags but permanently ban innocent hard working people 🙄

@nighttraderr YouTube doesn't cares at all he is sleeping and never ever take any step forward to bring down such issues.

@nighttraderr @YouTubeCreators @YouTube @instagram Hmmm . What else ? Hard work erased in seconds .

@nighttraderr @YouTubeCreators @YouTube @instagram

@nighttraderr @YouTubeCreators @YouTube @instagram Youtube knows and made a system so that this happens. Anyone can issue a copyright strike and has 30 days to enjoy his actions.

@nighttraderr @YouTubeCreators @YouTube @instagram I guess YouTube is hand in glove with them.

@nighttraderr @YouTubeCreators @YouTube @instagram YouTube is an absolutely horrid company ⚠️ Now that they're fucking with people who matter AND there's ONE platform where we can talk about it everyone is beginning to give a damn
