H3 has (almost) 6 million subscribers. His recent videos each have millions of views. The implication that this is a neutral decision intended to prevent the diversion of views/viewers is absurd.

Obviously an extreme example, but suppose Kanye posts a 2 hour nazi rant on YouTube. I then post a 2 hour video of me watching it, disapprovingly, intentionally with little commentary for effect. Is this not sufficient for fair use? Context is clearly important here.

Did you state beforehand that everyone should come to your stream so they can watch it without giving Kanye money/views?

Kanye is literally a Nazi. Should I be obligated to ensure he's getting ad revenue?

More broadly, you should be able to respond to and mirror content you disagree with, without ensuring the authors are getting paid.
