I suppose you could rail against big bad Google (owner of youtube) but I doubt that will put food on the table. I actually think a more likely to succeed class action suit would be against the companies that automatically claim that your video of 16th century music violates their copyright for a Justin Bieber song. I just had a battle with one of them that took a month and put me at risk for getting my entire channel shut down.
In any case, if you have a devoted following that wants to support you through your youtube endeavors you might want to consider Patreon.
