brutecat··on Disclosing YouTube Creator Emails via Content ID for $20k
This was a completely different attack chain.
brutecat··on Threat actor attempted to slipstream a malware payload into yt-dlp's GitHub repo
To be honest, I doubt it would've gotten merged anyways.
brutecat··on YouTube Terminates Popular Retro Gaming Channel Without Warning
I can't imagine the number of times they falsely terminated creators who don't have a big enough audience to get the attention of actual humans. This is one of the issues w/ relying on a specific platform as your source of income.

They can kick you out any time they wish, and there's nothing you can do about it.

brutecat··on All the data can be yours: reverse engineering APIs
The problem w/ this is a lot of the time is as they keep ramping up their anti-abuse measures, your old code breaks and needs to be rewritten (especially if it's an API you intend to use for a long term project).

It's just an endless cat & mouse game.
