Okay, so the Best of 2024 video is blocked worldwide and I have no idea why. We got a copyright claim that blocked it in Russia 6 days ago, we appealed it like usual, and then today it was blocked everywhere. The blocks usually expire a week after we appeal, so hopefully it'll be back by tomorrow - ThreadSky

I have to imagine that "Pink Pony Club" is somehow just gay enough to trigger Russia with how anti-LGBT+ they've always been.

Your best of 2014 came up in my YouTube suggestions the other day and I hadn't seen it in years and remembered how you had to redo part 2 without the Ariana Grande buffer in between song choices.

Bullshit copyright laws still petty even 10+ years later

Shootout to other Russian toaddies. Watching your stuff on vpn. Have to suffer through ads in Dutch "language". The sacrifices i make..

Rap Critic got his vid on Not Like Us from a couple months back taken down, could be that

that sucks. i’m not 100% sure why it’s just russia (and sometimes belarus) for most claims.

My vague guess is that it's either that many artists/labels deleted their catalogues from russian services after the invasion of Ukraine, and so it's a copyright wild west there now; or that it's the work of the infamous RAO which once tried to fine Deep Purple for playing their own songs in Russia.

That's wild. I just watched that and rap critics video about Kendrick last night and both wound up getting blocked. Hope I'm not related to that somehow.
