I myself will never become NND fans if those reprints did not exist on YT. And I can sure that most international fans share the same start with me. Even now, in our NND group on facebook, whenever u ask a newbie how he/she get into this fandom, the answer is only one: watched song A/ song B/... on YT.

If nicovideo allows unregistered viewers, I will agree with the idea of forbiding reprints.

Of course, there still are some links with no credit, or may still have some utaites who forbid reprints but the links haven't removed yet, but all those reprints are from the past, and wikia/wikipedia itself is an open source, built with no profit for contributors. U cannot force people to do something such as "have to remove reprints right after an utaite mentions about it".

Even we forbid reprints here, it cannot stop YT users reprinting NND things. So why we have to forbid them? Use reprints with conditions is better way for both. I also discovered the NND fandom on YT. As I said earlier, there are enough videos already on youtube to jump start the fandom. Both from old reprints already there and from official utaite channels. I eventually realized that not all the videos were uploaded and realized I need to migrate to NND. I also eventually realized how selfish I was to rely on YT reprints for some time. Once becoming a part of the fandom, it's necessary to actually support the fandom. YouTube works as a gateway to NND culture only, not to support the entire utattemita fandom.

What's so wrong about creating a NND account? It's not like most people who frequently use YT don't have YT accounts.

If people are passionate enough, they may remove them. But it's also extra work to add them in the first place, so try to prevent adding them in the future.

You can't stop them by simply forbidding them on the utaite wiki, but it definitely helps the movement, raising awareness and supporting it.
