False positives are going to be this thing’s downfall, calling it now

This is exactly what I was thinking. I absolutely wanna see the shitstorm that appears if it hits youtube and starts mass flagging the site because of all the MVs and other anime content like the sped up slightly higher pitched videos where they show clips from anime, hoping not to get flagged probably.

Those old farts should realise the reason anime and manga is popular is because of piracy.
