While The title of the video is absolutely one of sensationalism, It's not out of the question as two more strikes could indeed delete a channel...

He should be on PeerTube, anyways.
I do not understand why creators feel the need to be exclusively on one platform. Simply crosspost the videos.
$$$ that's why. YouTube gives the greatest return. If they post to multiple platforms, not only is it more work, but they then also subtract from the number of views they get on YouTube. It's all about the $$$.
In their documentary GamersNexus stated that they would air it without advertisements if a certain treshold of funding was reached. I imagine Patreon, their store and other sources make GamersNexus more money than Youtube advertisement. And it is certainly not their only source.
If those other sources make more money and get more viewers, why did it start on YouTube?
That is where the majority of the audience is.

Stop building houses on the king's land.
Time for them to at minimum mirror their channel to Odysee and/or PeerTube so that they'll still have a platform just in case their channel gets nuked.
Even if you don't plan on ditching YT outright, it's still a good idea to mirror to Odysee, PeerTube, or both, as a backup because of shit like this.
That was my first thought as well. As he's touching into these sort of topics, where he has to defend himself against companies with the greatest capital in the world, he won't stand a chance to survive on these traditional platforms. He definitely needs to launch a PeerTube instance.
But the thing is, with this size of a channel, it would cost a lot of money to maintain it.

I love that he responded to their takedown request by releasing an entire video about Bloomberg and their shitfuckery.
Bloomberg’s lawyer to Steve: how DARE you contact us without going through another lawyer
How is his channel going to be deleted? They appealed the take down and YouTube will reinstate the video in a matter of 10 days if Bloomberg failed to produce proof that he used their copy right shit. I'm actually genuinely asking because I watched the whole video and Steve didn't say anything about their channel being deleted.
Bloomberg has 10 days to file for lawsuit against Gamers Nexus. If they do, the take down stands, and it's a strike until Gamers Nexus may win the case. Which will be expensive. 3 strikes and YouTube closes the channel with near zero option for appeal.
Gamers Nexus cannot manage if a big company like Bloomberg goes all in. They can easily bankrupt a small channel like Gamers Nexus with frivolous lawsuits. And if you are bankrupt, you can't defend yourself.
The US judicial system is heavily tilted towards those that have more money.
"small."
Make no mistake. Gamers Nexus is a multi million dollar company.
Sure, Bloomberg is much, much bigger. But while gamers Nexus is the underdog, it's not the toothless underdog. That little fucker will bite in bloomberg's ankles before it dies and tbf: it looks like it's already yapping and took it's first bite.

I would assume its in reference to the section of the video quoting YouTube's policies that channels can be removed after 3 copyright strikes. Bloomberg has 10 days to appeal to YouTube and keep the strike active
