but @the_bestapo you should just argue that youtube is a natural monopoly and should be regulated as a utility

that's the only reasonable way to come at it

Well if it doesn't have to do anything to appease the people who's videos they are running ads on, then what the fuck happens when the people just leave?

No one is going to take bullshit forever.

1. they won't

Yes, they will.

and 2. that's their loss if they do

yeah I can see youtube's traffic has already dropped to nobody overnight

you're right

all leaving

Not overnight retard.

Gradually.

just so happens to be without any real competition for people to go to

People are not going to tolerate having their money taken away everytime they give the wrong opinion to the Google machine.

enough guilt tripping

google provides opportunity and money

it is not taking anyone's fucking money

THAT ISN'T GUILT TRIPPING, THEY DO THIS SHIT ALL THE TIME.

no, you are using inflammatory language

google does not reach into the pockets of its users or contributors to take their money - it is putting money in contributor pockets and not touching average users

nobody is losing money by interacting with youtube

this is a purely positive relationship but you're just whining because it's not quite as positive as you'd like

this is like offering a homeless man £10 and he fucking tears into you because he wants £20

How about all the people who have sunk all their money into Youtube under the prospect that they would be stable.

how about look at the real situation here

they sunk their money into a business which youtube supports

their own business, just like youtube's own

opportunity was provided, they made a personal judgement on if it's the right call for them

"all eggs in one basket" is simple business logic to bear in mind

if your entire business hinges on youtube then this is a position you have put yourself in

one which most likely has been rewarding, which is great

but ultimately your choice, your business, and your risk

Ok, if we're going with the "Your Youtube channel is like it's own mini business" position, then Youtube in this situation is like the government, now Youtube constantly plays favorites and fucks with it's businesses.

shit

again, the platform fucking provides opportunities which were never even available

stop whining like it's hurt someone

it's provided opportunities which were not there

this is a positive relationship

I can't stand this leftie nonsense of claiming that something offered freely and with support isn't good enough thus whining and guilt tripping until it is

Mate I don't even believe in leftism.

you're literally spouting leftie nonsense here
