YouTube/Google rant thread

[furf]

Come one, come all, lay down your grievances about YouTube and/or Google.

YouTube keeps deleting the videos of one of my favorite creators GIFGAS (aka "Poison"), an indie filmmaker who records himself and friends traveling across Europe via trainhopping/freighthopping and exploring old abandoned buildings. They've given him 3 strikes but haven't removed his channel for some reason, however he's now hesitant to upload anything with trainhopping in it to avoid getting another strike and potentially losing everything on his channel. He does upload backups to Patreon (and I wish he'd make his own site like Shiey, a similar creator, has already) but YouTube needs to fuck off here.

There's tons of videos on the site of people trainhopping that have been made by larger creators and are still up. There's way worse shit being uploaded to their site daily. Their ad system has cropped porn being put into it all the time with seemingly zero accountability or punishment for doing so. Yet, they keep removing GIFGAS's videos for "safety", which is bullshit.

Saw this, god awful shame. His Tunisia trip made me feel so happy, every single minute of it was a beautiful adventure and the quad ride through the ruins of Mos Eisley in Tunisia at the end were just *absolute cinema*. Loved that he joked about getting robbed... only to then get robbed. Glad he was alright lmao

I miss the old internet. Its getting better but monetization just keeps fucking ruining it.
