>It's simply a matter of traditional media like CNN constantly attacking youtube and advertisers to get more money for themselves. Okay. I agree with you. However the video blames YouTube and thats why it's misleading. I don't particularly care if the advertisers are behaving hypocritically - it's YouTube gets largely the blame for advertisers deciding not to spend their money. >From 2011 to 2016, they didn't have qualms about offensive content on youtube. What happened was advertisers went from spending a couple million on YouTube, to now billions and now they want a say in the content. Advertisers always had the majority of the say on YouTube, they just never chose to exercise it. This was always a weak point in YouTube's platform, eventually they made enough money where you either have to sell-out or get-out. If YouTube had the messaging "advertisers have chosen not to pay for ads against your content", would YouTube still be widely blamed?
