| I might be wrong in your specific case, but generally YouTube
| doesn't just remove videos with copyrighted audio. Often
| copyright holders instead make it so that the video with their
| songs will have ads and they'll receive all the ad revenue.
|
| https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7002106?hl=en
|
| "Depending on the copyright owner's Content ID settings,
| Content ID claims can:
|
| - Block content from being viewed.
|
| - Monetize content by running ads on it and sometimes sharing
| revenue with the uploader.
|
| - Track the viewership statistics on the content.
|
| Any of these actions can be geography-specific. For example, a
| video can be monetized in one country/region and blocked or
| tracked in a different country/region."

| It's not rose tinted glasses, it's just a poor comparison.
|
| The absolute vast majority of these videos have double digit if
| not _any_ views. You 're seeking them out, using a little quirk
| of naming and the poster's DGAFism. There is no pretense of
| promotion to a large audience or virality. Anything spoonfed
| you on a Tiktok or Instagram feed could not be more different.
| The default Youtube experience is the same as mass Tiktok.
| Moreover you can find plenty of similar material like this on
| Instagram and Tiktok if you go looking for it, that is after
| all what most people are using it for, bumming around with
| their friends. The algorithm isn't going to spoonfeed this to
| you, and obviously Youtube never did either.
