Where's The Fair Use?

[Nu_13 84]

Voicing our opinions make us look like zombies? Reviews hurt product sales? How stupid can you be? Well then guess I'll have to eat the staff of Youtube's brains. You know, if they have any for me to eat. #WTFU #MakeYouTubeGreatAgain

I've got a bit of a personal story about fair use and whatnot. Occasionally I make stupid videos, you know, ones that make cartoon characters swear, etc... I have a few that use Spongebob. At least 70% have been blocked in other countries (except Canada for some reason). I'm not allowed monetize my videos due to them using Copyrighted content (not that I would want to anyway...) but I noticed something strange a few weeks ago. One of my videos has nearly 1 million views, the video has a "uses copyrighted content" notification, yet it isn't blocked while others are by the same company. Even stranger, I'm not allowed to monetize it, but the company actually is. They're literally making money off a video I made which is covered by fair use. They didn't block it since it had so many views and they figured they could make a quick buck by monetizing a video they didn't make. I don't actually care, since I don't want to monetize anyway, but I think it's kinda scummy they'd block my videos except the ones they can make money from which are also covered by fair use

I got a copyright strike a while back for having a 3 second clip from RIO2 COMMERCIAL listed as PRIVATE.....
