You are completely correct in your position here, I absolutely cannot comprehend the level of delusional pushback.

And I’m not talking out my ass, I was rocking over a million views a month at one point.

The channel owner even outright admits he just thought he could get away with consciously breaking the terms. After already having received two previous strikes. Well whoops-a-daisy, he didn’t get away with it.

It is inarguable that this person brought this on themselves.

I don’t really need to hear everybody’s side-grievances about big businesses and enshittification as those are a complete red herring; The person deserved it and he shot himself in the foot.

Empathy for the loss. ZERO sympathy.
