All there is in their hearts is greed and wrath.

But he does have a guess as to why Nintendo targeted him. The first copyright strike landed on his video about the MIG Dumper and the MIG Flash, a pair of devices that let you turn genuine Nintendo Switch cartridges into digital files and then carry around an entire library of those ROMs in a special microSD-equipped flash cartridge for your console. I’ve watched the video, and while Crandall does explicitly take an anti-piracy stance, it’s easy to imagine these gadgets being used by bad actors, too. 

“I think the first strike was simply due to the fact that they wanted to minimize attention around the MIG Flash cartridge and dumper [...]"

Looks like he also mirrors his channel on Odysee, so the removed videos can still be seen here: https://odysee.com/@retrogamecorps:6/mig-flash-v2-and-cartridge-dumper-review:9
