You see, this is the problem with automated DMCA stuff. If enough people don't like your stuff, they just brigade report you until youtube or $company gets rid of you. The second they bought youtube I knew eventually their evil would infiltrate it, unfortunately though no competitor has done a good job replacing them.
My favorite comment on youtube comes from one of the founders, Jawed Karim, back when google was trying to merge all accounts and force you to use real names in google+ and then to tie google+ to youtube: "why the fuck do i need a google+ account to comment"
I whish people wouldn't deride those of us critical of google for being essentially NSA's best friend and reminding people they basically started by the CIA's venture capital firm In-Q-Tel. Please attempt to refrain from accusing those of us who do "paranoid conspiracy theorists" because I feel like over time we are being proven correct and being vindicated, as much as I would like it to be otherwise.

- dijit 10y agoI find it highly likely that you're going to be downvoted due to being so hostile. If that's the case, please don't assume it's because of a conspiracy, or that everyone loves google. Plenty of people on HN are very critical of google and centralisation in general, myself included.
