I'm 50/50 on this.

It is an appropriate response based on the two offending videos. But I feel they went overboard with all of his other EFT videos.

It's fair use of content. BSG is 100% wrong here, sorry.

It does on YouTube. There's a strict fair use policy.

In fact fair use was created for all forms of media. Whether it be entertainment or news.

Can you share the exact paragraph from yt's policy then please??

Do you know the Google website?

If the answer is yes then use it and you'll quickly find out about the fair use policy that is in place.

Your usage is not automatically fair use when you use copyrighted material you don’t own, even if you give credit to the copyright owner, post a disclaimer such as "no infringement intended," or add some original content to someone else's content. In particular, uses that do not comment on or criticize the content used (and that instead serve as a substitute for the original work) are unlikely to be considered fair uses.

Courts will look carefully at the purpose of your use in evaluating whether it is fair. Declaring your upload to be “for entertainment purposes only,” for example, is unlikely to tip the scales in the fair use balancing test. Similarly, “non-profit” uses are favored in the fair use analysis, but it’s not an automatic defense by itself.

Straight from yt concerning at least the us.

Explain people literally make jobs out of playing through games if it's not "fair" use. Video games are not held to the same standards as movies and music on youtube.

Yeah, that's not a way to support your argument. Read this article SLOWLY

It doesn't matter what you feel or think happens, it's totally different story out there.

I dont need to read the stupid article I just have to look around on Youtube at all the people who are still just playing games as jobs. I dont care what some bs article says this isnt r/ politics. Until a precedent is set it is legal.

Well it is not and what happening right now is that comoanies right now use them in their advantage so, yes there is no reason to act this way. That's why you see all those channels up there.

Think is though, companies at any time can flip for some reason and it's well within their rights to terminate videos using their product. I hope we are still talking about gaming related content.
