    On a serious note though, why anyone do this, in Japan of all places, and think it would make for a good Youtube video?

    Well, it got shared here, didn’t it? We’re all engaging in it, driving ad revenue. (Or, would be, had it not been removed)

      Wow I’m actually surprised Youtube stepped in on this one, since they rarely do. Hopefully it sends a strong message to the channel owner - according to another commenter here apparently this wasn’t their first time doing something like this

      To be fair, exposure does not usually imply complicity, unless you failed to report something in a situation where as a layman you could tell this is legally questionable.

      That is, clicking on a link then downvoting might be enough for you in regards to handling it. Yeah, it would have been better to either never click on it or flat out report it (Youtube has now taken down the video, phew), but that goes beyond what someone just clicking on some link could reasonably be expected to do.
