> According to YouTube, about 6 percent of removals from July to December 2023 were abusive, along with 10 times more attempted abusive removals
I uploaded the recording of my father's funeral to youtube, to share as an unlisted video. It attracted two copyright claims - for hymns written in the 18th century.
These were claims - not takedown requests - but I didn't think it was appropriate to share a link to the family that was unable to attend in person that would serve them ads. So I instead made the video private and shared it a different way.
But if I don't contest the claims, how can youtube possibly count them as abusive?
