I'd happily support DS, but unfortunately the only effective ways to correct Youtube are lawsuit and boycott. What we really need is an "innocent until proven guilty" creator-friendly alternative with a commitment to a transparency. Complaints, defenses, and arbitration results should all be public. Contested videos should be left up but flagged until arbitration occurs, with links to the complainant's and creator's histories available to indicate how strong or weak their complaint is likely to be. Even just a "won/lost" counter would be enough. Why no wannabe YouTube competitor has taken this business model upon themselves is utterly beyond me. Free speech seems to be working for Twitter-competitor gab.ai.
YouTube needs more unbiased staff to deal with complaints. Useful idiot SJWs flagging people's accounts is at best harassment. YouTube is more concerned about per minute views than policing peoples likes or dislikes of a video until it becomes a legal liability for them. Case in point one of my clients had a video copywright striked because they used a copyrighted song in under an hour. I in turn put up the entire album that the song came from and spammed it. It stayed up for a good 2 months before the account got a copywright strike. YouTube isn't purposefully targeting anyone. It's just got a mess of a system to work around that penalizes average users over trivial shit. Or automatically gets you suspended because of a SJW reporting brigade triggering an automated response.
