Youtube Allows Videos To Be Sampled By Default For Youtube Shorts
https://www.searchenginejournal.comYouTube appears to not have sent a formal notice that YouTube Creators are free to sample videos. YouTube creators are reacting with shock because they do not recall having been to opt-in to giving away their content.
YouTube Video creators are automatically opted-in to allow other creators to sample their content for YouTube Shorts videos.
YouTube appears to be using Dark Patterns to make it difficult to opt-out of content sharing and easy to opt-in (by doing nothing).
A problem with how YouTube is handling opting out is that there appears to be no way to opt out an entire channel of videos. That means that each video must be opted out of automatic sharing one by one.
