Summoning Salt does not include any memes in their videos. The footage that included the profanities was of a speedrunner celebrating that they had just broken the world record. This sort of footage is important for his documentaries because their whole purpose is in showing who were the key participants in the speedrunning communities for the game the video is about. You can’t do that nearly as well if you don’t actually show the speedruns.

You can bleep the swear words out, or mute them and put some funny content over it.

I like how fast this thread went from a complaint about cheap memes to a call to cover the swearing with "some funny content".

Anyway, sure he could do that. Youtube said he didn't need to, then punished him harshly for being well within the rules.

SummoningSalt is a documentarian and it seems entirely reasonable to show the footage unaltered. Especially considering the context and the how little was actually shown.
