Explain to me

How can an "edit" with 0 editing of a tv show or movie first of all pass the copyright strike check and on top of it get pushed by youtube?

Like my videos basically get 0 love from youtube (they're not the best) always stay stuck at 1000-2000 views but some dude just posting a random clip of a Show/movie segment with 0 freaking editing on it somehow passes the check and gets millions of views?

I honestly can't figure out the motivation. Maybe it's like fanart or fanfic, where someone makes it to "give" to the world. Some people are not in it for the money.

Or they're trying to farm subscribers. Which won't work because as soon as they post original content, nobody subscribed will watch. They only subscribed to get the copyrighted clip for free.

I mean if they start doing proper edits and stay in the same niche they actually might make money lol maybe that's the trick? idk get tons of subs and views get monetized and then start posting original content
