This supposedly includes even more regular videos, with the Breath of the Wild-focused YouTuber ' Croton' claiming that one of the videos they lost had "nothing to do with mods" and was simply a challenge run. This current situation has apparently escalated with Nintendo now being accused by other YouTubers of striking videos with "no context" but copyright removal.
