Content ID is possibly the worst thing about YouTube. It&#x27;s stifling. It&#x27;s an incessant pain for anyone who produces any type of review, analysis or critique of popular media, particularly combined with YouTube&#x27;s 3 strikes system and lack of decent appeals process. Content creators frequently see their channels disappear entirely from YouTube without explanation or means of recourse, only having them restored by fans mass-emailing Google in protest.
