Why does SE hate youtube?

You can find the rules regarding video and other material content usage from FFXIV here.

According to Square-Enix, you're free to upload footage of FFXIV, as long as you're using the music from the game. If you put your own music in, they're free to say "No, you can't do that" and take it down.

"* You may not play FFXIV music alone (i.e., without accompanying gameplay footage), or with third party materials;". In other words you may not use their music with content unrelated to the game. I do not believe there is any restriction on including third party music with footage from the game. It does specify gameplay should be accompanied by the game's music if any.

If you use third party music or sound, you should always include that information with the video.

They really like their music.

It's youtube's automated system - I seen videos with the game music taken down because someone gets jealous over an uploader having more views and flag it. SE still has their own material sent to youtube for content ID matching which is why it gets taken down 'by Square Enix' because it matches and people are 9/10 trying to make money off of it.

Are you talking about the emote Lalafell video? I don't see how having a video of a glitch can positively promote the game and keep its community alive.

I'd even go as far as saying that people doing the emote glitch should get suspended.

That was actually the first one I noticed but figured "oh well". It was later I found a speed run video which sounded fun《deleted》. Well how about this video of a WHM tanking Titan, sounds funny lets see it 《deleted》.......this is starting to border on absurd here.

Yup, but that would be logic! Free advertising? Who wants that?

This is what we call INNOVATION!
