Claiming revenue from content creators that are using content under fair use is illegal as well. But try to sue Nintendo on it. The issue why this hasn't escalated yet is that youtube allows it. It allows companies like Nintendo to abuse the law without any repercussions.

It's not morally gray. It's morally wrong.

I think it is morally gray, namely since it is google platform and google has authority to enforce it, not Nintendo or the content creators. Again until prescendent is set with court case against nintendo, which they lose. I will not say morally wrong. Namely since I believe content creators are morally gray for uploading complete playthroughts of games, sometimes even without commentary. 

This. I can understand Angry Joe when he gets made for getting flagged when he does a review and it has game clips.

But most youtubers bitching are those that are posting full lets plays of a game. Let's plays/playthrough/walkthroughs are in no way fair use in my opinon. They are equivalent to posting a full movie online, which you can't do. You will notice, those that do a "let's watch" or wahtever they call it. It's just a pic of their heads and you can hear the audio of the movie. No actual video. I don't get how video gamers can get away with showing the game full on playing. Espeically as you said, some don't even add comentary. And then to bitch when they get flagged. It's laughable.
