Remove Video From YouTube Carousel

I am putting together a strategy to remove a competitor from a YouTube carousel that displays for my company's brand name.

So for example, you search the term [BRAND] and in the video carousel a competitor has a video ranking with the title 'Why You Shouldn't Buy From [BRAND]'

Video Metrics:


My Company's Channel:

Any thoughts / strategies on how to combat this?

If the publisher of the video is against you guys with solid proofs that your company isn't doing business as it's suppose to, then I think you can't do anything :/

The video is on a specific product. They recently launched a competing product. The company is 100% legit & vc backed.

If someone who has 180k+ subs is messing with your company that means you are big and u have a team of lawyers, just contact your lawyers and start threatening youtube and him with legal issues of defamation.

If your competition shit over your product or do whatever, they have full rights to consume your brand and whatever they think of, if they do not damage YouTube terms of usage and other terms blah.. let's assume they probably didn't break any TOS

So, you can't really sue nobody about anything, they have rights given by YT to negatively review your product. Best case scenario is to attempt to get their video down using your brand channel. You have solid chances to succeed, comparing any other option.



By the given video stats, its hard to say they faked it. Also, do not buy negative LQ views nor dislikes for that video, it won't change anything + audience will know you done it.
