Hi, I have an archive Youtube channel dedicated to reuploading old brony/MLP related videos that have been long deleted or privatized. I have upload videos and podcasts from Saberspark, BVids, Wubcake, EmuEmi, BronyCurious, PaleoSteno, Mr. Enter, and Bronyville.
I previously had a thread about the channel here:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgP3VLWEDfLEZTGa46Xd3YQ I also had uploaded on there a number of Lily Orchard's old MLP related videos that she had deleted or privatized for reasons that I do not know. Unfortunately, she removed two of the videos and gave me a copyright strike. Since I expected more removals were coming, I immediately removed every one of her videos that I reuploaded. It was a really bad idea to say in the playlist description that "I find her to have been an incredibly toxic person ever since at least 2016". Considering her attitude toward criticism, I would not be surprised if that motivated her decision to strike me. At the same time, I would have felt uncomfortable putting those old videos on my channel without clearly disavowing a person I believe to be terrible and to have caused much harm to both former friends and colleagues, as well as to the online discourse in the communities she has been in. I still wanted to upload these old videos for archival value and the entertainment value they did provide, but in hindsight that was a mistake. Most of her old videos are still up, and uploading the few that weren't was not worth the risk of this happening. Honestly, it feels good to not have videos from such a toxic person on my channel anymore.
I believe that every other person's videos I currently have uploaded have next to no risk of copystriking me, so I feel comfortable that I will not get any more strikes. Saberspark, BronyCurious, and Mr.Enter have never had a problem with reuploads, PaleoSteno and EmuEmi have said they support my project, there have been long-standing reuploads from both BVids and Wubcake that they have let stay up, and Bronyville's stuff is still online on their website.
I promise that in the future I will be more careful with what I reupload, it would be devastating to have the channel taken down.
Also, in case any of you are in the know about Lily Orchard, does she have a history of taking down reuploads and/or having issues with archives of her? And does anyone know why she took down those old videos in the first place? (A lot of the old videos she delisted, mainly MLP-related ones, can be found here:
