I feel like this is a little different. For one, it's not like it's completely blocked (yet). There are just some videos that are blocked in the US for some reason that make me stick to "It's because of that stupid YouTube Red thing" theory because that's when I first noticed it happening. You can even check on Being's official YouTube page. All the songs blocked here. Just because it's blocked in one region doesn't make it fall into #WTFU.DCUniverseAficionado wrote: Did you see #WTFU on YouTube, the past few months? That movement gets at the problem.
And then there was the whole Fine Bros nonsense...

Uploading the Ending of an anime is not will not and cannot be protected by fair use. YouTube has been taking down such videos and/or blocking and/or silencing the audio for years.
It's a piece of an episode aired on TV and nothing more beyond that. Whoever uploaded it technically has no going for fair use in the first place.
Not every "mean" thing YouTube does means they are "wrong"

Conversely, not every "mean" thing YouTube does means they are "right." Hence #WTFU.
Believe me, I've had my own videos taken down, and there are times I know very well that fair use can't be used as a defense.
“Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent. We would not dare to conceive the things which are really mere commonplaces of existence. If we could fly out of that window hand in hand, hover over this great city, gently remove the roofs, and and peep in at the queer things which are going on, the strange coincidences, the plannings, the cross-purposes, the wonderful chains of events, working through generations, and leading to the most outre results, it would make all fiction with its conventionalities and foreseen conclusions most stale and unprofitable.”
