Copyright Strike

Copyright strikes are warnings given to YouTubers for playing a song that is copyrighted or using copyrighted content.
A strike given to YouTubers for one of the three reasons:
- Stolen content
- Someone playing "ITS RAINING TACOS" and being an annoying little rat that you want to stomp its skull out
- Your channel being hacked and YouTube having no common sense

copyright strike

When used as an Urban Dictionary slang, this term refers to how long a free movie is (still able to be) around on YouTube before it's eventually taken down due to a copyright strike.

You’d better watch the "Florida Project" movie on YouTube right now, man. Yeah, it's a 2017 drama movie starring my favorite actor, Caleb Landry Jones. But since the full movie is on YouTube, its "theatrical window" is usually short before the studio hits it with a copyright strike.

Surf Dracula Syndrome

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.

I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
