Still, videos on youtube get routinely taken down for using smaller snippets of works.

That's completely unrelated to ancillary copyright (the Article 11 stuff), however. That's the DMCA. You still have the right to quote, but Youtube is not required to host your content for pretty much whatever reason they like, including just taking whatever causes the least trouble for them in case of a DMCA takedown notice.

Your right to quote exists vis-à-vis the copyright holder, not third parties. A frivolous DMCA notice may hypothetically get the copyright holder in hot water, but does not affect your contractual relationship with Youtube. And Youtube does not have to defend your rights for you, they just have to comply with the notification, takedown, and counter-notification requirements.

Well, currently it's related to DMCA, but that would become mandatory with Article 13 and for other categories of work (like text/images, etc) - if not explicitly mandatory, implicitly mandatory with the new amendments

Article 11 is the "link tax"

Well, but this subthread was originally about Article 11. I'm not sure how you are getting from that to Article 13?
