Exactly the sort of behavior I would expect from him tbh. Leveraging his technical knowledge to take advantage of people who won't stoop to his shitty level of behavior.

There’s as much ‘tech’ in that channel as there is ‘lead’ in this man.
I mean by this point, years into TechLeads abuse of the YouTube DMCA system, YouTube STILL hasn't done anything, with about a million 13 years olds constantly emailing [email protected] we can rest assured they know, but are choosing to simply sit on the sidelines allowing legitimate critique and expose to be silenced and their creators doxxed. I don't know how this changes without a class action lawsuit against Google.

I don't think Google would be the right target for this. YouTube's DMCA process sucks because the DMCA, itself, sucks. The DMCA was conceived and written during a very early period of massive advancements in digital media production and was already outdated by the time it was put into place, and is absolutely archaic by today's standards. YouTube's process is basically just following the legal process as it's written, so they don't have much wiggle room to make improvements.
The DMCA needs to be rewritten to reflect modern technology and culture. I'd say it should be scrapped completely, but I know better than to dream too big.
Google or Alphabet or whatever are the sole agents who control the mechanism of reporting and enforcement of DMCA take down strikes within their own platform, they absolute are the primary responsible party from which creators should rely to ameliorate any issues within it. The reason they don't, is the same reason Google doesn't do much of any kind of customer service at all, cost of human interaction/headcount. Google is also pretty certain their creators who make their living from Google AdSense aren't going to join in a class to sue the literal hand that feeds them, and so the abuse continues.
Bring in Markiplier, the only person they'd respond to
I've always thought that guy was playing an Internet satire character of the most obnoxious money-hungry Silicon Valley tech bro imaginable.
It stopped being funny immediately the second you realize that he is not playing a character at all.
YT does not care. I remember years back when the cheating scandal of FrankieOnPCin1080p & Jackfrags in DayZ came out after they got banned from one of the servers at the time (at this point the admin did not even realize who they banned) and he did the same thing to bury it.
