I pretty much post songs straight to YouTube, and really haven't run into many copyright claims w/ my newer postings aside from Maverick D.C (Danger Crue).

Copyright claims most of the time only force ads/monetization on that particular content to benefit the original creator, but most of the time your videos themselves are untouched. You might get a video region-blocked, but I've only had a few completely neutered from the site. 

Just don't post BUCK TICK b/c the feds will come to y-

..but seriously, there were certain labels what were hell-bent in nuking your channel back in the day.

On a side note, just realized my channel has 48.3k hours of watching/listening time. Close to 6 years straight, and everyone says YouTube Music isn't a viable music platform, lulw. 

Maybe after creating I can better ask the band if it's okay?

But I wonder, would it be cool to make short promo videos about various bands?

Giving member info, tour dates, release information..

I want to focus more on lesser popular bands, so not DEZERT or XAA but bands who kinda exist for 1-2 years.  Maybe 5 year maximum.

Or the bands who exist for a longer time but simply are somehow underrated. 

I've gotten a bunch of copyright strikes from Starwave, Red-list, and Yukika for uploading a D=sire demo (???).

Oddly enough, the D'espairsRay song I uploaded didn't get striked, and I uploaded a Kiryu song that ended up getting over 1m plays and BP hasn't sent the mafia after me (yet).
