YouTube's copyright strikes create a chilling effect. Google takes the easy way out in tuning their system to minimize false negatives at the cost of lots of false positives. This minimizes their liability under the DMCA and minimizes cost but allows lots of abuse by those claiming to hold copyright.

Not to mention the monetization restrictions on Youtube and Twitch. Those who rely on it play a game of whack a mole where they upload a video, it's get flagged, they edit, try again. It makes talking about new or serious situations like gun violence of Epstein very difficult unless you're willing to forgo any ad revenue.
