Why would EA/CG want to provide income to people that don’t positively promote their game?

Yeah, but being Game Changers gave them unique access to the game that gave them an advantage in content over the standard YouTube gamer—if there are any. A standard non-Game Changer who makes videos has a much harder time of getting views than someone who not only gets early access, but gets posted in the kit reveal thread.

Cancelling the program won’t stop former Game Changers from getting views, but evens out the playing field a little.

How so? If their gamechanger privileges ended, they are not bound by any law or agreement. They become just players ranting about things like us.

YT copyright protection is completely broken. Any use of music, in-game footage or artwork can be used for DMCA takedown. I think they could take the channel down for even saying "Star Wars" regardless of context. Don't think too high about the internet of 2018, it is money-driven and corporate controlled.

You don't understand how fair use works apparently.

You don’t understand how YouTube works, apparently.

YouTube won’t take your video down if it’s fair use, but they’ll demonetize it in a heartbeat.
