My understanding that is wind/solar are significantly cheaper than nuclear is on a cost basis. The costs required to build and safely dismantle nuclear plants are major cost contributors. The downside of course is lack of baseload, which nuclear can cover quite happily, albeit at a higher cost.
Nuclear is more expensive per KWH basically entirely because of the regulatory environment. Not because of anything physical about the method or its fuel; it's not more expensive in France, for example. Get the costs of regulatory compliance down and nuclear becomes the cheapest power source for both capital and ongoing costs.
1) Feed a computer with MIDI files of public domain music and render it as audio
2) Upload to YouTube
3) File copyright dispute to YouTube for any (future?) uploaded video which contains the music which used to be in the public domain
4) Have Google reject the videos
5) Create a site or an app which allows you to license that public domain music for a fee.
6) Notify YouTube who has licensed this public domain music.
Ok. that's the way Google thinks is the way it should work. Or maybe they just recognize that their AI is causing more harm than good.

Two days ago I uploaded a video which was a screen recording to demonstrate a bug in the Android app "Komoot". It was unlisted, the link was attached to the bug report I sent to the company. It was just a short video showing how the caching (or something in that direction) of uploaded images in the app seemed to be broken. The content in the video was 100% adhering to all the guidelines, specially to those of "for all ages". The content was nothing else but scrolling photos of an MTB-trail with a bit of UI. If your video is flagged or you mark it as "for 18+", then it can only be viewed by logged in persons.
After uploading the video I got an email that it was not complying with the "for all ages" requirements, which is kind of bad, because now the support team must log-in with a Google account to YouTube in order to see the harmless but useful video.
But then again, videos related to Instagram celebrities or Chinese ASMR-binge eating are totally ok for them.

Google recognizes that these flaws in their AI aren't worth caring about. Google doesn't have any mission or obligation to help the world share videos. Google cares about Google's profits. And they've found that the expedient way to do that is just let the AI be overzealous with rejecting, because the cost of a false positive is infinitesimally tiny and the cost of a false negative (real copyright violation) is so much higher.
How do we fix this? Competition. We need a Google/Youtube competitor so that users will choose the platform that does copyright recognition better.

Are there good stock plays off the back of this event or is it not protracted enough to invest in without buying special instruments?
My guess would be that there must be something to do from an investing angle -- but also that industry insiders and specialists who look at such things dedicatedly and professionally would have already priced in or arbitraged anything far ahead of a layman's understanding and participation.

I know this is a loaded term, but I find it interesting that globalization plays a key role here. I would be surprised if the economics of click farms made sense without involving third-world employees generated ad revenue in first-world denominations.
Better wages in those countries would likely eliminate fraud like this. It's essentially an arbitrage opportunity to buy first-world denominated "attention currency" at third world click farm worker attention prices.
Right. And one way to combat that is IP geolocation, show your ads only to a first world audience. Of course, then a VPN or other IP spoofing techniques will combat that.
