What do your youtube T&Cs say, particular about the use of other UGC?

The best thing you can do is edit your video to include Midget ****.

Some interesting answers there, thanks.

I think I will replace the video with something else
but what exactly(not ****)?

On a side note, both of the sites that have embedded my
video make money from sponsorship and neither asked my
permission(which I wouldn't have minded).

A plan has been formulated and I will reveal all in good time

ps. what is "UGC"? ref Filski's comment above.

Animal **** would obviously get taken down from Youtube pretty quickly, but HD quality footage of farm-animals passing bowel movements very likely wouldn't

Lol, not a bad idea.

UGC : User Generated Content. Got it.

If they're popular sites you can enable adverts on your videos and you might just make more than they do.

It is already monetized, just waiting to hit that first £million.

The site in question are exhaustvideos.com and dragtimes.com.

I found my video quite easily on the exhaust site but couldn't locate
it on the drag site.

Don't use naughty or irrelevant stuff.

The smart move would be to compile a video of their competitors products and include links to their website, with a big text line saying that this video was acquired from you without consent.

Simple
