Reaction youtube is the lowest common denominator for stuff like this, but if this ruling succeeds, that will be a pretty big problem for the ecosystem as a whole.
Setting a precedent where it is punishable to show part of another video in your own without getting permission for it will make the platform far more restrictive, especially for content that offers valuable critique. Having to actually argue fair use for publicly available content is a step backwards for everyone, even if it means there will be less low-value content out there.
..So you don’t “rip” the video, you point your camera at the display and record the segment you want to use for commentary or critique, leaving a section of the display bezel in the shot so it is beyond reproach. If the use of a specific technology is the issue, go old school. A pain in the ass, definitely, but not a rip that can be sanctioned.
