Instead of posting the actual but just a summary of what was said (for each uploaded video), this YT account could perhaps find a loophole around piracy.

I do not know if that is so much a loophole as one giving their view on the events of the manga chapter. Either way, I am more concerned about how this will affect YouTube's policies going forward. One of the questions about YouTube and other social media sites is whether they are platforms or publishers. A platform just hosts the content; it does not censor or have a say in what goes on it, which is what a publisher would do.

The only thing I am worried about is if the Japanese publishers decide to ban Manga spoilers whether it uses the original imagery or not. I only look at summary information for One Piece on Youtube and then look at the actual chapter when it is released on VIZ's WSJ.

except YT has removed content in past for specific topics and stuff.

YT is a lot less "free" than it was in the past few years.

That ship sailed a long time ago - YouTube and other social media sites have been proactively regulating content and behavior for years.

They're publishers.

That really shouldn't bother yoy considering as with how popular One Piece is you can find spoilers in other places...... compared to something like Hajime no Ippo.
