Facebook seems to be accelerating plans for FB Video in the wake of the SloFlo drama

I don't know if it's true but this seems like weird timing.

In h3h3's video, he noted that SloFlo was partnered up with Facebook to promote FB Video's upcoming monetization platform. FB Video has been central to the whole freebooting issue on YT because it offers no copyright protection (quite deliberately, see Kurzgesagt's video "How Facebook is Stealing Billions of Views").

Well, just now Ok Go have just released a new video. They are quite famous for their music videos that went viral over YT.

However, you can't watch their new video on Youtube, only on Facebook. Fans on YT are somewhat confused - link. Current top comment:

Upload on Youtube Please

It seems Ok Go has a partnership with Facebook on this, for them to tell their 500k+ Youtube fans to follow a link to FB. Another comment:

for all those asking why not on YouTube they did it so they're video wouldn't be able to be stolen from YouTube and monetized on Facebook this is a good thing guys let them upload it on YouTube whenever don't complain about it they're saving themselves from losing monetization and from assholes like soflo Antonio

This has been FB's plan all along, my comment from another thread:

Youtuber with about 100k subs here. This shit has been boiling for months now. I've had a popular video (about 500k views on YT) stolen dozens of times over facebook reaching around 3M views.

Facebook's copyright infringement form is almost comically long and convoluted. By the time they actually act on the request, you've lost hundreds of thousands of views to facebook, with literally no credit to yourself. A lot of youtubers have been speculating that Facebook's plan is basically:

1 - Steal as much content as they possibly can from youtube to hurt their creators (no monetization)
2 - Introduce a monetization plan to lure youtubers to facebook because hey, all our stolen views are coming from FB right?
3 - Supplant youtube as the biggest supplier of online video.

They seem to be trying to ignore all the developments YT has been forced to face over the years (basic copyright protection to prevent people outright stealing videos, development of the ContentID system) and treat content creators as pawns between some war between YT and FB.

The timing of this release sets off a lot of red flags, I'd wager they've brought the release of the FB-exclusive video to draw attention away from the SloFlo/Facebook scandal.
