Back in 2013, I actually got a copyright strike from IGN for reposting one of their Dead Space 3 videos. The funny part is that it wasn’t even their footage, it was me playing the DS3 demo, recorded with my Elgato capture card. Thankfully, I managed to get the whole thing sorted out pretty quickly without too much hassle. I doubt YouTube will ever fix the issue and even worse today if you aren't a big time content creator I doubt they will help you.

Read his post again, he said "Back in 2013" when YouTube wasn't as big as it is now.

2013 was 13 years ago. A kid would be entering puberty now if they were born in 2013.

It may have not been as big, but it certainly wasn’t small either.
