I used to work for Bent Pixel's main competitor, so I know the business model really well. Basically we would have top YouTube execs come in all the time to talk to us, and while I was on the digital/data side of things I got to know their strategy.

So when a DMCA or copyright claim is filed against a video, the video usually stays up on YouTube - but once a service like Bent Pixel establishes their client owns the copyright, all the of ad money or clicks that the video generates is owned by the original copyright owner - not the channel hosting it. This is why those fights Beige mentioned of Connor are still up on Youtube.

If the client puts pressure on the service, it can have the service send a fast track request to YouTube to get the video removed, and there are a million reasons YouTube will comply. This model of content 'sharing' has made YouTube shit loads of money through deals with the services.

The best way to fuck with Bent Pixels at this point is to leave negative reviews on their Glassdoor page:

My old place had shit loads of bad reviews and it was the bane of HR's existence trying to put out that fire. They would create fake accounts to try and boost the stats, it was always a thing. If we could get 30-40 1 star reviews it would make them shit themselves.

There's really nothing we can do to Joe Rogan or YouTube, but Bent Pixels is a small company and is pretty vulnerable to a PR attack.

Let's do this.
