Looks like a clear case of dubious copyright claims OR that they got the free stock images and music from a website that actually didn't have the correct rights for the media?

This is a case that free stock footage and audio from the internet will get you in trouble even though you did everything right on your end. The channel maybe was penalized for what a website did?

What a shitty website, it does load without any warnings but it is a fully blank page with zero texts or images... then after a while you realize you need to disable any ad blocking extension for this one to load for real.

"I have this collection of semi-random CSS, semi-randomly applied to any page - but hey, it's their fault for not anticipating each and any of those arbitrary modifications!" Cheese, sir?

How is this their fault?

I run ublock and umatrix (gorhill you are beyond awesome btw) and of course I experience loads of breakage on any new site - that’s entirely to be expected when I prevent major components of the page from loading. It’s a minor price to pay for the resulting security and privacy and I am aware it’s self inflicted.
