Google incentivizes takedown vote abuse.
1. 3 Strikes rules for channels
2. Automatic takedown systems based on votes
3. Incentivizing competing channels with ads
4. No verification/limits/punishment of bogus takedown voters and vote bots
5. Lack of democritized, universal takedowns of equivalent content
Does Microsoft unfairly benefit from Google's takedown tirefire? I do not know.
But if I were designing a voting system for takedowns it would be:
1. 1 non-DMCA takedown vote per user per year
2. No takedown votes for accounts less than 1 year old
3. Takedown all equivalent content when a video is voted down.
4. Verification of DMCA ownership before taking down DMCA-protected content.
