Nintendo wrecking Speedrunning, ROMhacking Youtube channels
Speedrunner PangaeaPanga reported that youtube has removed most of the videos on his channel.
Looks like nintendo is serious about enforcing their Nintendo Creators program where you can use Nintendo assets, characters, and games. This could spell bad news for Games Done Quick or Speed Demos Archive. All on the same day as Pokemon Go is announced, they give with one hand and take with the other.

Speedrunner PangaeaPanga was the creator of the popular “Hardest Super Mario World Level Ever” video, which had amassed over a million views while it was up. He also regularly uploaded speedruns, many of which were tool-assisted and so required the use of a ROM and emulator to play. In his own words, his entire channel has been “wrecked” by Nintendo, which has taken down multiple videos of his.
