Imagine being the creator of one of the biggest series in the world and wanting to protect your property. I wonder why people are having their videos removed.
Imagine giving a damn about people who merely use short clips and stills from episodes while you still running a multimillion dollar franchise.
What's mine's is mines and if I don't want you to playing with my stuff, I can do what I need to do.
YouTube is not a public place where you can do what you want with whatever. They themselves can determine they don't what your content on it and delete it for any reason they see fit. It's their website. YouTube doesn't have to even share it's ad revenue with anyone. It's a free video hosting platform. They decided to share some revenue to incentive creators to make content that bring visitors to veiw ads or pay for a sub.
On top of that, if you decide to use someone else's owned content in your videos, you will be at the whim of those entities. They are allowed to sometimes ignore you, sometimes, say sure use it, and sometimes say no. This is not just limited to anime, all other forms of media. Just because a movie or TV reviewer isn't getting sacked, doesn't mean they can't ever be.
There's plenty of very sucessful YouTube content that has absolutely nothing to do with licensed and copyrighted stuff. YouTube will always favor it's own wellbeing over that of anyone else, and if that means blocking or deleting videos that they pay for storage on a server somewhere, then so be it. The alternative is that these large companies will take YouTube to court, not the individual uploader.
Also, someone mentioned Disney trying to keep Mickey out of Public Domain. That story is super dumb and super false. There is no way Disney would ever let 100 year go by without using Mickey. Or any of their characters, for that matter.
