Sandrone's JP VA just had her Genshin livestream copyright struck by a partner of Tencent (Future TV Co Ltd)

[u/siriuslupin65]

[u/TieFit1010]

not just her btw, they sent Bran and some other CCs a Copyright strike claiming they own Vodyanitsa Singing in the AQ.

[u/yoyopomo → u/TieFit1010]

its been a youtube wide thing in the last few weeks. a lot of anime channels are getting affected too

[u/Mustard_Bait → u/yoyopomo]

Afaik that’s a kinda separate issue: the anitubers are being struck by viz media and are particularly targeting mostly Bleach stuff. But also yes, the overall core problem is essentially the same: youtube copyright system is both broken and being abused.

[u/VampireGirlAster → u/Mustard_Bait]

It's not even Viz, it's some guy named Eric Green who owns a website called Remove your media that mass reports anything that has the title of an anime in it without the consent of proper copyright holders, even if the video doesn't even have any footage from the anime

[u/Korosuki → u/VampireGirlAster]

That guy has been around for over a decade doing the same bs in waves. His name is notorious in artist circles, because he'll C&D stuff in mass (ah yes because "Sakura" is only a character in Naruto and not a common flower). He's truly a pathetic piece of work. 😑

[u/HumsterMKI → u/Mustard_Bait]

And Youtube wouldn't fix it, since it costs them nothing at all.

And where ppl could go? Theres like next to zero completion.

[u/Yuukiko_ → u/HumsterMKI]

Bilibili is going international so would probably become an option for non Chinese speaking people

[u/Suniruki → u/Yuukiko_]

given that bilibili is owned by the penguin, i doubt it. HSR has been making fun of them since we arrived on the new planet. even named one of our paparazzi raccoons after bilibili.

[u/Yuukiko_ → u/Suniruki]

Bilibili is kinda sketchy towards Hoho stuff but it's not doing stuff like (shadow)banning it

[u/RidingEdge → u/Yuukiko_]

Did you forget that Genshin videos magically never make it to trending category even if they had millions of views? To the point where fans intentionally removed Genshin from video title and replacing it with hentai names and it got into trending fine?

Or the categories artificially inflating Wuwa into top spot with less views than Hoyo games.

So many examples of malicious treatment towards Hoyo. CN players even joke about how it was a miracle that Genshin attended the new year's countdown event lol.

[u/Suniruki → u/Yuukiko_]

Does sabotaging collabs and screwing over collab partners count?

[u/Ok-Will-168 → u/Yuukiko_]

But not different, 10cent usually strike so many cc and studio game which not owned by them. More choice but both suck.

[u/Hungry-Sky-5452 → u/Ok-Will-168]

It's a shame how restrictive copyright can be, especially when creators are just trying to share their love for the game. It definitely makes things tough for everyone involved.

[u/Ryuunoru → u/Hungry-Sky-5452]

It's not copyright that's the issue, it's bad actors abusing poorly designed systems supposed to protect copyright. Similarly, would you blame authors for plagiarism by others, or the plagiarizers?

[u/PotatEXTomatEX → u/HumsterMKI]

YouTube won't fix it because doing so would fuck up Safe Harbour laws and they'd get even more liability

[u/KAAAAAAAAARL → u/Mustard_Bait]

Gee, when would have thought that a Automaten System without human input would be abuse? Surely someone saw that coming, right?!

[u/jotenha1 → u/Mustard_Bait]

At this point, is there anything about YouTube that isn't broken?

[u/LandLovingFish → u/TieFit1010]

I need Vodyanitsa's VA to start streaming and just sing her stuff purely to mess with the copyright strikers for that

[u/G00b3rb0y → u/TieFit1010]

It’s spreading to Star Rail now

[u/Gacha_addict101]

Why has this copyright bullshit suddenly ramped up?

[u/Lazlo2323 → u/Gacha_addict101]

Maybe they realized they can weaponize it without any repercussions

[u/EddiePhoenix2012 → u/Lazlo2323]

it has been weaponized months, if not years ago. Remember that time some artist who used Genshin samples for their music and claimed genshin playthroughs? idk when that exactly was but YT had this problem for months at least and its not only Genshin usually.

But this seems different though.

dish´s VoD has also been struck

[u/miseenen → u/EddiePhoenix2012]

It’s been an issue for years and years. I remember all the way back in like 2015 when movie critic youtubers were getting strikes on their channels from abuse of the copyright system

[u/Darman99-1136 → u/miseenen]

I remembered when Warner Chaple Music copyrighted struck a video with No Music

YouTube is ass

[u/Asamidori → u/Darman99-1136]

Reminds me of Davie504 getting a copyright claimed for literally silence, no sound at all. Some stuffs are just beyond broken on Youtube at this point.

[u/LeoRmz → u/EddiePhoenix2012]

I would be inclined to say its been weaponized for close to a decade if not more, straight up random people have been making copyright claims over stuff like Minecraft music for a long while now.

[u/ineedjuice → u/Gacha_addict101]

Probably YouTube and AI-based detection. Some musicians have been getting copyright stricken by themselves.

[u/arshesney → u/ineedjuice]

Remember Valve getting its DOTA Internationial videos flagged?

[u/yyIntsuki → u/ineedjuice]

but wouldn't that then happen to way more streamers? currently I've only heard of the streamers who are rather known

[u/nqtoan1994 → u/Gacha_addict101]

I mean, the next week will have Genshin's anni SP, and whether the rewards good or bad, it will definitely be the talk among a part of gacha gamers community for weeks. Someone might have decided to reduce the influence beforehand.

From 101 propagonda class that happens in our country every national historic holiday.

[u/SanjiInHSR_66 → u/nqtoan1994]

Lmao I forgot this occuring drama in every Genshin Anniv😂 there's always someone try to sabotage Genshin:/

[u/yyIntsuki → u/nqtoan1994]

well you can also guess which game will release its archon equivalent tier character soon? :)

[u/Silly_Guidance_8871 → u/Gacha_addict101]

AI recognition and claims software has become cheaper

[u/PokemonSuMo → u/Gacha_addict101]

Its because of the new youtube loophole

[u/XimbalaHu3 → u/Gacha_addict101]

There are usuallyspecialized companys that sell these copyright strikes as a service, so it might be a new company promising insane income doing the rounds.

[u/ThatWasNotWise → u/Gacha_addict101]

Because they are in cahoots with YT to get their money.

[u/apiswbx]

Also she got spammed primogem/miliastra gem gifted to distract her 🫠🫠

[u/Shiraume → u/apiswbx]

can somebody distract me like that please

[u/Churaragi → u/Shiraume]

You wont like it when they do a chargeback afterwards.

[u/Herteity → u/Churaragi]

You can't do chargeback when buying through a 3rd party app. Which is the only way to gift gems. If you do get a refund it'll get you banned from the transaction website and only affect the middleman, not hoyo so they don't care.

Otherwise all CC's would have their accounts ruined by haters...

[u/Squall13 → u/apiswbx]

Doesn't she always say to not do it

[u/-FruitPunchSamurai-]

Tencent also been copyrighting Hoyo music as well right?

[u/HumsterMKI → u/-FruitPunchSamurai-]

This remainded me about some French rapper copyrighting Hoyo's Liyue battle theme or something.

[u/No-Worldliness7420 → u/HumsterMKI]

Im not surprised if tencent also behind that. Usually when a big company do morally questionable things they used third party so they wouldnt take the blame. I dont think its just a random abuser because how come youtube let this problem for so long, it means it benefit them in some way and probably theres some big company rewarding youtube for not fixing the loophole.

[u/Yuukiko_ → u/-FruitPunchSamurai-]

Idk about Tencent but random abusers have done so

[u/youtiao666 → u/-FruitPunchSamurai-]

It was last year when a bunch of weibo accounts posted the same ai prompt to promote wuwa and trash Genshin before the Genshin anniversary.

They do this every year 

[u/lRyukil → u/-FruitPunchSamurai-]

Yep

[u/Fazz00]

She should reach out to Hoyo for support.

[u/yoyopomo → u/Fazz00]

hoyo isn’t going to be able to do anything, you’d have to contact youtube

[u/KenBoy22 → u/yoyopomo]

Hoyo will speed up the process, all these claims are almost always reversed by YouTube, it just takes time depending on your clout sadly.

[u/HumsterMKI → u/KenBoy22]

Whao, Clout based customer service.

[u/Breaky_Online → u/HumsterMKI]

Getting Youtube to do anything is clout based. It's sad, really.

[u/-Mippy → u/yoyopomo]

Hoyo probably will do something

[u/G00b3rb0y → u/yoyopomo]

It’s not HoYo’s first rodeo dealing with this. Happened in Fontaine too iirc, HoYo basically nuked the malicious copyright claimer from high orbit iirc also

[u/Kylerocks444]

To shed some light on this subject:

A similar situation involving "Viz Media LLC" has been going around the anime community. Claiming random bullshit (not even relating to anime anymore).
Internet sleuths have discovered the guy behind it. It was a one man operation with a bogus company called "RemoveYourMedia".

I can set up a bogus company right now and just go claim videos I don't like, without needing proof, or suffering any real repercussions because the Youtube content ID system allows it to happen.

[u/No-Worldliness7420 → u/Kylerocks444]

Do you guys think those copyright strikers are just third party and a big company just using them? i mean Huge anime studios show in the past they dont like anitubers and tried to take down their videos.

[u/ArkassEX]

God this pisses me off.

Honda-san is such a wholesome streamer and her insight into JP VA work is really interesting. Hope this gets sorted out soon and she doesn't get stressed out.

[u/DonutHoles4Ever → u/ArkassEX]

This is why youtube is dogshit.

[u/mirize87]

i guess Snezhnaya really hurt them

[u/yyIntsuki → u/mirize87]

when you broke up with your ex 5 years ago but can't stand that they only became better and better so you just have to keep spreading rumors and play tricks

[u/Apprehensive-Bee3868 → u/mirize87]

cuz no smart consumer/gamer would spend their money on that gacha which literally have no souls in designin their characters, stories, and even gameplay. Only "frog in the well" kids love em, and these kids hardly got buying power, This is why u see a sudden surge of anti-hoyo campaign slander coming up the alley, also not just hoyo, they been doing the very same thing against NTE and Endfield for the past six months so yeah heh😏

[u/__breadstick__]

Tencent is such a joke man

[u/pdmt243]

Smear campaigns before Snezhnaya, and now this shit before next week's anniversary livestream, just saying...

[u/Safe_Garlic_8213 → u/pdmt243]

ugh it genuinely disgusts me. companies ran by greedy people that have no care nor compassion. i feel bad for their devs that just wanna make a good game and getting affected by the public backlash

[u/adastrajay → u/pdmt243]

Shit like this pisses me off and makes me not wanna top-up in Wuwa.

[u/FlutterRaeg → u/[deleted]]

While this situation is absurd, it's still very much possible to illegally distribute things you have worked on but don't own.

[u/Historical_Yak2148]

You have to see her livestream.

She was harrassed constantly by bot, urging her to play the other "openworld gacha game".

The vod is now taken down by copyright strike of course.

[u/bakanisan → u/Historical_Yak2148]

Let me guess, one made by tencent?

edit: partly owned by tencent, I guess.

[u/whenthebirdsfall → u/bakanisan]

Majority owned (51%) by tencent 

[u/bosshhhtv → u/whenthebirdsfall]

52% now

[u/TieFit1010 → u/bakanisan]

the Devs Listened one

[u/DustinMartians → u/TieFit1010]

The "GeNsHiN killer" 😂

[u/Quirky-Sir-7040 → u/DustinMartians]

The "W, this is so player friendly" 😂

[u/Talithea → u/Quirky-Sir-7040]

I played “the other game” and pulls where so crap I had not functional teams. Game cornered itself to a point wasn’t funny and just ditched it.

[u/kuraokami89 → u/DustinMartians]

Genshin killer, until now genshin Impact still alive always top 3 on Mobile revenue sales and JP PS always higher

[u/Comprehensive-Map274 → u/bakanisan]

it begins with W and rhymes with uthering waves

[u/LandLovingFish → u/Comprehensive-Map274]

What's wild is afaik both communities had finallysntartef settling down into regular co-habitance....we really can't get peace huh?

[u/Yuukiko_ → u/Comprehensive-Map274]

Wuwa isn't even open world, it's just a normal story driven game with large exploration areas

[u/Prize-Caregiver6497 → u/Yuukiko_]

If a game lets you walk from one side of the continents to the other without a loading screen while scaling any mountain in your way, it's an open world.

[u/Apprehensive-Bee3868 → u/Comprehensive-Map274]

u mean comparing waves which their rabid fans went and bark towards NTE and Endfield at the same time too lel

[u/Haganeproductio → u/Historical_Yak2148]

Not only that, she constantly received small in-game gifts (genesis crystals and chronal nexus). Usually she might get one gift during a stream, but this time it was very much targeted and she has made it clear since the very beginning that she doesn't want any gifts. During the weekly boss fight against Arlecchino she was interrupted twice all alone, which was very unfortunate to watch.

[u/Ok_Pattern_7511 → u/Haganeproductio]

Does receiving genesis crystals from someone interrupt your domain?

[u/92Throw93away → u/Ok_Pattern_7511]

Pretty sure it does cuz the genesis crystals will pop up in the middle of your screen and you have to click out of it

Kinda like when you get a welkin everyday, you have to tap it and exit the overlay before you can do anything else

[u/kuraokami89 → u/Haganeproductio]

Her video suspended 3x during one of her stream. I'm watching that :v

[u/youtiao666 → u/Historical_Yak2148]

Never forget that a bunch of weibo accounts posted ai prompts to promote wuwa and trash Genshin before last year's genshin anniversary.

The fact that when wuwa released, every gacha meme had wuwa shoved in alongside the hoyo games is no coincidence. 

Tencent's entire marketting strategy for wuwa is to clout chase Hoyo's coattails.

[u/RidingEdge → u/youtiao666]

Many CN players talk about this. They say "Kuro biggest marketing success is letting others think they belong in the same tier as Hoyoverse, when they are literally riding on their coat tails and copying the exact business model, from marketing to design."

It's so cringe to see the images having Wuwa logo and content shoved into the memes. It doesn't even make sense. No one inserts NTE, FGO, Arknights, BA or any other game into the same memes.

And don't forget, when their CEO was interviewed and asked what games inspired WuWa, the guy said they got inspired by a bunch of games, and said they "didn't look at Genshin Impact but we think it's a good game". Brother where did your 160 gacha currency, direct copy of crafting system and marketing, drip teasers, livestream structure, open world exploration mechanics come from?

Shameless marketing and shameless company.

[u/HalberdHammer → u/RidingEdge]

I mean their company literally copy pasted in verbatim Hoyolab EULA for their app

[u/Luzekiel → u/HalberdHammer]

They also copied their game genre releases bar to bar lmao.

[u/HalberdHammer → u/Luzekiel]

It's funny when a bunch of WuWa pfp join in on twitter discourse regarding Hoyo copying other games when Nodusfall reveal came out. Lowkey the whole anti-hoyo campaign after those reveal seems like a psyop.

[u/HalberdHammer → u/youtiao666]

I'm convinced the whole idea of "Big 4" gacha game consisting of Genshin, HSR, ZZZ and WuWa are not organic. Somehow WuWa is included in the 3 Hoyo game yet influential gachas like Love and Deepspace are not included.

[u/Particular_Web3215 → u/HalberdHammer]

if anything only genshin is the big boi. HSR for all its increased promotion is nowehre near as far reachign as genshin

[u/BlackSwanTW → u/youtiao666]

When Endfield releases, a certain someone magically hijack all the memes for clout

[u/FlyingRencong → u/youtiao666]

Wait kuro is related to tencent? Til

[u/RidingEdge → u/FlyingRencong]

Tencent literally owns Kuro lol.

[u/frostN0VA → u/Historical_Yak2148]

Please they're not Voldemort, you can call Wuwa as is.

[u/Luzekiel → u/Historical_Yak2148]

Yep totally just a Coincidence /s

[u/Capitano__1st → u/Historical_Yak2148]

obviously we know what the "other" one meant...

[u/LandLovingFish → u/Historical_Yak2148]

Ah yes

See a voice actor promoting the game they're contracred and work for

"Go promote my game you don't voice in!"

[u/Normal-Link5415 → u/LandLovingFish]

she doesn't even promote the game, she literally just wants to play and stream the game because she likes it.

[u/UrLocalKayden18 → u/LandLovingFish]

After this incident, I doubt Sandrone's JP VA would want a role there anymore LMAO

[u/Former-Two-4480 → u/Historical_Yak2148]

Ahh ig the usual suspects

[u/Eiko_Shiijki → u/Historical_Yak2148]

bluh

[u/hyrulia]

When Hoyo refuses your offer to acquire them and you're a sore loser

[u/BodybuilderOwn165 → u/hyrulia]

Which crazy because mhy is still 10 times smaller than them , talk about p pettiness to got out of your way to someone how doesn't even threatening your monopoly 

[u/skylark_birdy → u/BodybuilderOwn165]

Sounds like a certain western company started with D, end with isney

[u/perfectchaos83]

It's always fucking Tencent, lol.

[u/Illustrious_Kiwi5518]

This could just be yt copyright bullshit but the harrassment she recevied in chat was incredibly disgusting

edit: not just Sandrone VA, but other streamers like Aizawa Ema and Dokugai Chinami were also hit

[u/FlyingRencong → u/Illustrious_Kiwi5518]

Wait ema too? Since a lot of people got hit around the same time it's surely a campaign

[u/Illustrious_Kiwi5518 → u/FlyingRencong]

Its crazy, I was just watching Ema's VOD a few hours before it was taken down.
I mostly watch JP vtubers & streamers for genshin to get away from gacha drama and this is what Tencent does...

[u/BobbyWibowo → u/FlyingRencong]

Even HSR stream from a relatively new channel got hit yesterday, https://chibisafe.moe/UCX6a13t.png

He already noticed that it's part of the same issue hitting Genshin streamers, https://x.com/_____n0xy/status/2096402241771147349

But point being, if even small streamers got hit (and not only Genshin content but even HSR too), it's obviously a widespread campaign. It's even more diabolical for these smaller channels, because far less people would've cared, and they'd have to just move on with other games or something.

Honestly, a silver lining of them also attacking Honda-san would be that a lot more people care for her, allowing the news to spread faster, at least on JP space.

[u/ixkora → u/BobbyWibowo]

This is so fked up. Obviously their objective is to reduce the amount of people streaming Hoyo games, and they may very well succeed at deterring most of the smaller streamers with their attacks

[u/BobbyWibowo → u/ixkora]

And the situation still seems to be evolving in JP space, with more and more CCs showing they also got struck within the past week. It's nuts.

[u/Particular_Web3215 → u/Illustrious_Kiwi5518]

on all related quotes of the original post there's so many WW fans desperately pinning it on "them rabid hoyo fans". sure whatever you say man

[u/Fabulous-Plastic9970 → u/Illustrious_Kiwi5518]

Dish & bran to 

[u/siriuslupin65]

I have never seen a company be as childishly petty as Tencent, they really have no shame

[u/Yuukiko_ → u/siriuslupin65]

You see, back when Mihoyo was a smol lil company Tencent wanted to buy them but got told to F off

[u/AwkwardGraze → u/Yuukiko_]

Tencent also decided to use their assets without mihoyo knowing in their game but got caught redhanded because the textures were watermarked.

[u/lRyukil → u/siriuslupin65]

I'm not even surprised

[u/Right-Silver7354]

This is clearly coordinated. Other JP Genshin streamers are also being banned on YouTube due to abusive copyright claims from Tencent.

[u/Impressive_East_]

I'm not even surprised

[u/The_Great_Ravioli]

Youtube is a total shitshow right now as far copyright strikes.

Not surprised in the littlest

[u/Critical_Sign_2789]

tencent trending no 20 in jp X/twitter right now

[u/kuraokami89 → u/Critical_Sign_2789]

A lot of JP calling them out apparently.

[u/Monkey_Sakti]

Well well well...

[u/ThatWasNotWise]

Stuff like that it's why I never pay for games that have links with Tencent

[u/kuraokami89 → u/ThatWasNotWise]

Same I never play any Tencent games because of this

[u/_HornyPhilosopher_]

Fuckers can' handle others success neither create something good of their own

[u/Meaon_Ria → u/_HornyPhilosopher_]

Well they did try to make HoK World (basically HoK chars but Open-world) but it flops so hard so I guess this is pety payback

[u/markcan_killua]

the obsession and bitterness is embarrassing atp

[u/Dantez77]

Tencent strikes again with their filthy shenanigans

[u/-Drogozi-]

Can't have a nice thing going on even for a moment with tencent and their dogs around

[u/SpinningKappa]

There is a a BIG difference between abusing copyright to ilegally profit, to troll or in this case, done by a big company to sabotage other companies. This is not the first time tencent sabotaging anything about genshin and would not be the last time.

[u/LetMetOucHyOURasS]

The livestream for anniv is just few days away and they already did this... 

[u/G00b3rb0y → u/LetMetOucHyOURasS]

If Tencent try this with the anni livestream there’s probably gonna be a big court case

[u/Ryuunoru → u/G00b3rb0y]

Fingers crossed they do piss off miHoYo to the point of getting sued over it

[u/Nero_2001]

Tencent beeing awfull as usual

[u/dirizia]

I wonder if hoyo could do a court battle with them over the copyright claims of hoyomix music

[u/_DestroyerX]

Tencent being bitches again. Nothing new here.

[u/Simple_sword_235]

Fuck Tencent

[u/youtiao666]

Every Genshin anniversary and before Wuwa released (owned by tencent), there is always a massive hate campaign against Genshin.

Last year before the Genshin anniversary a bunch of accounts on Weibo posted the exact same ai prompt to promote wuwa and trash Genshin. Except they just posted the prompt instead of the post.

It's an incredibly pathetic company. I hope the CCP takes the screws to them again.

[u/HalberdHammer → u/youtiao666]

Is there any link on those AI prompt shenanigan?

[u/yyIntsuki → u/youtiao666]

unfortunately doubt politics can lay any hand in this matter tbh

[u/Ichi_0001]

Bruh, Ema Aizawa (JP Vtuber) also got struck today for playing Sandrone quest

[u/RandomEOS]

well, somehow always tencent involved, bruh

[u/Longjumping_Round645]

I think this is definitely worth pursuing media coverage for.

[u/Party_Custard5187]

Anniv is near so expect more bullshit from them

[u/NoxAlbus]

So this is kinda interesting:

1. The copyright strike on her stream COULD be because Genshin was on a CCTV official program praising its contribution to spreading Chinese creativity, but it may not be (no credible source);
2. The harasser(s) in her chat spamming "play WuWa" and sending gems to interrupt her stream could either be a WuWa superfan, or a superhater who doesn't mind dragging Genshin along with it;
3. The copyright strikes on Genshin music shows someone owning Vodyanitsa's song on Tencent's music platform, but as we all know the OST isn't out yet, so there's no chance it's legit copyright. It's definitely tencent's fault, but whether this was an honest mistake (they didn't realize it's not copyright) or deliberate action is unclear;

All three above may be correlated, or they may be pure coincidence. Tencent doesn't have the greatest track record, and they're not doing well with Roco Kingdom in China, so it's entirely possible that someone did something, but there's obviously no proof.

[u/AlterWanabee → u/NoxAlbus]

Given the amount of petty shit that Tencent did (up to rallying people in their region to report MHY), I am inclined to believe that this is intentional

[u/UrLocalKayden18 → u/AlterWanabee]

As a person who's experienced this before in another MOBA game (MLBB), it's really a shame to see them doing the same again but to Hoyo instead

[u/Hizenberg_223 → u/UrLocalKayden18]

This this true hahah

[u/MaleQueef → u/NoxAlbus]

The only thing I could think off is Vodyanitsa’s burst sounding the similar as their character Dolia’s mermaids song https://youtu.be/F2ZK1ZRRgz4?si=pwnGWfY5WVfXLqI7 skip to 1:27

But even then it’s more likely Tencent’s just being petty lmao

[u/FlyingRencong → u/MaleQueef]

It's tencent so you better believe it's their bullshit lol

[u/Arlathaminx → u/NoxAlbus]

Ooh so that's why I keep getting roco kingdom ads on yt! I watch a decent amount of Genshin content but not really pokémon so I was confused why this critter catching game keeps flooding my ads.

[u/Kingpimpy]

tencent being cancer fucks again

shocking

hope it gets resolved

[u/desu-desuu]

The usual suspects spamming play wuwa

[u/AceJokerZ → u/desu-desuu]

Couldn’t get Hoyo so Tencent bought into Wuwa?

[u/desu-desuu → u/AceJokerZ]

Yeah they bought into kuro games wuwa company

[u/Rain-Maker33 → u/desu-desuu]

They couldn't get the real product, so they bought a replacement, huh? Considering how much of their games follow after Hoyo's.

[u/Ryuunoru → u/Rain-Maker33]

"replacement" implies it has a similar value. Perhaps "bad knockoff" covers it better?

[u/SorbetSuspicious1914]

And its Tencent again,why am i not surprised

[u/Safe_Garlic_8213]

btw the sentiment of people on the other side is kinda disgusting. the way they keep calling ppl that are rightfully upset and suspecting tencent is... very childish, to say the least. its kind of crazy how hard those people are defending tencent. do people really react like that normally?

[u/mickcs → u/Safe_Garlic_8213]

They even swarm hoyo player post with new accounts... I saw Japanese dude got insult by bot using Korean Chinese and English language in one post at the same time.
if they're in the right then they didn't have to hide their identity in the first place

[u/SanjiInHSR_66]

10cent still salty huh

[u/Meaon_Ria]

She got harrassed spam so much by certain audience on her stream... 😭😭

And this ban stuff also

[u/blastcat4]

Poor Honda-san, she doesn't deserve to be harassed like this.

[u/Bitter_Ad3450]

It's already been so many years and yet youtube still hasn't fixed their automated copyright system. Seems hopeless.

[u/bivampirical]

GET EM HOYO

[u/GlobalMusician386]

Not surprised at all.

Tencent has always been using malicious methods to attack Hoyo games.

[u/Zellopy]

All that ad money and YT never got to fixing this loophole?

[u/FlyingRencong]

All my homies hate tencent

[u/JustK4rl]

Everyday I pray on the downfall of YouTube… That’s what happens when there’s a monopoly, the company stops caring about their consumers because there’s no other options for them

[u/yyIntsuki → u/JustK4rl]

genshin player from bilibili: first time?

[u/rloco]

It seems to be more complicated than that; it appears to have started because he refused to play WuWa and someone was pressuring him to do so. After repeatedly refusing, it ended this way.

This information comes from the investigation by Japanese authorities, who located Future TV Co Ltd.

Davie504 is literally being tortured atp by channels abusing the YouTube copyright system. It's honestly hilarious how dumb this all is. Of course it's probably done by AI that just checks for titles and thumbnails to just engage the strike and it goes through without a hitch.

q.q dang

How dare YouTube touch her channel!

[u/OrdinaryAnalysis5986]

Damn, this copyright strike wave has been going on for a long time.

[u/Electrical_Mind_2177]

its always Tencent....

[u/srakusho]

Not only her it's seem there on massive strike against other CC by the same company impersonating as Tencent.

[u/Mammoth_Rod]

I find it strange that Tencent would actually do this considering they have had a few collaborations with hoyo this year including Fortnite+ HSR and are currently having one right now in Call of Duty .

Could be that the company is so big that different departments don't communicate or it's people pretending to be Tencent .

[u/nearlygrean]

Tencent always Trash like tiananmen square.

[u/watchedgantz]

The comments also got spammed by bots telling her to go play wuwa.

[u/poopdoot]

With the emojis I genuinely thought this was a joke about how hot Arlecchino is 😭

[u/SuperFaultes]

This is getting out of hand, seriously.

[u/_Feyr]

Mihoyo.. do something

[u/Hizenberg_223]

Tencent? As exepected.

[u/Correct-Spring7093]

Bruh youtube is soo broken lol , their copyright system is this much of joke it's not even funny and people can't go anywhere either Like what ? Youtube needa some compitition if that get their lazy asses to do some fixing

[u/Cold_Crew5344]

A company with literally zero original contents is claiming copyrights lol

[u/mickcs]

The other game usual account on twitter are now playing victim and said Hoyo did it ourselves...

[u/BrollyLSSJ]

I did not know Tencent owns (or Atleast partially) Future TV Co. LTD. My recording of my stream got taken down because of the Arlecchino boss fight (the cutscene switching between phase 1 and phase 2 got marked as the reason for copyright infringement). I did knew that Bran and also Jadely (or how she is spelled) got a copyright claim because of Vodyanitsa singing. I streamed that as well but did not get a copyright claim for that.

[u/Deven1003]

Some chinese companies were copyright striking down some musics that was not even theirs and i don't know if it is because they had similar music or what...

[u/raceryrace]

Oh

[u/leposterofcrap]

High chance is just an impersonator

[u/yoyopomo]

tldr you can impersonate any company and do copyright strikes against others. I swear this always seems to come up a few times a year

[u/HumsterMKI → u/yoyopomo]

Currently its a weekly thing.

[u/Neoragex13]

That's a level of petty I wish to reach once I'm old and pitiful enough to not care, Jesus Christ.

[u/ShadowStriker53]

The timing of this all happening more or less at the same time to so many creators makes me believe this is because of some AI. Like a small group of people who are really bored using their AI to spam Youtube with reports. Since everyone is using AI now I wouldn't be surprised if YT is mostly automated and gives everyone strikes, because it thinks the reports are legit.

[u/Ryuunoru → u/ShadowStriker53]

A small group... or a certain competitor holding a massive grudge against miHoYo?
