CGP Grey vs. Vlogging Through History | YouTube copyright strike drama
In this NeoJoseph podcast episode, we will be discussing the drama between CGP Grey, a popular educational YouTuber based in the United Kingdom, and Vlogging Through History (VTH), a smaller channel with around 350,000 subscribers that makes reaction videos to historical content.
On April 9, 2023, CGP Grey issued a copyright strike on VTH’s channel for reacting to one of his videos. This was not a simple claim for revenue, but a serious legal action that could jeopardize VTH’s channel and livelihood.
VTH posted an update video on April 10, explaining the situation and showing evidence that his reaction video was fair use. He also revealed that CGP Grey had blocked him from contacting him or commenting on his videos, and had also filed a second strike immediately upon receiving a counter-notification appeal on the first one.
Many other history YouTubers, such as The Armchair Historian, AlternateHistoryHub and Mr. Beat, came to VTH’s defense and criticized CGP Grey for his unfair and aggressive behavior. They also pointed out that CGP Grey has a history of being hostile to reaction content and has a new comment system that requires payment to comment on his videos.
