<conspiracy_hat> Some of those videos have comments related to Apple's commitment to respecting privacy and/or something to do with ads being bad ; now they want to "go in a different direction" and are doing a 1984. </conspiracy_hat>

Probably more like a zealous lawyer at Apple heard of it and based on a lawyery scenario/edge case (that would probably encompass all videos on youtube) decided to send the notice for takedown to youtube. Youtube being run by zealous lawyers don't question any takedown by corps because at their scale, any % of false negative would be costly if they all issued lawsuits.

Unfortunately, I don't think this is valid HTML. Sad! https://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-html5-20110525/syntax.html#:~:....

Must be ReactJS!

<hat type="conspiracy">...</hat> would work better.

Did you know you can omit quotes?

    <hat type=conspiracy>...</hat>

The only problem is the underscore, I think. A <conspiracy-hat> custom element would be valid HTML.

No, only ASCII alphanumerics are allowed in HTML 5 tag names.

In fact, custom elements apparently must have a dash. From https://usefulangle.com/post/363/custom-element-valid-name:

• Name has to start with a lowercase ASCII character. It cannot have an uppercase ASCII character anywhere. UTF-8 characters, emojis, etc. are allowed as long as they are not the starting character

• Name must contain a dash ("-") character. This dash character helps the browser to distinguish custom elements from regular elements.

Indeed. This is the relevant part of the specification:

Add a hyphen somewhere in the middle and you're good to go:
