> We know YouTube has the ability to edit video, heck they have done it to their own promotional videos. I think that unless they are making trivial edits to a video, not disclosing an edit to an official announcement or rule change can be pretty dishonest. When YouTube announced their controversial YouTube Heroes program in a video, they quietly uploaded a completely new video with slightly different wording to the same video id, without any indication that it was a new video. When a company is trying to communicate important information that affects customers livelyhood, this is not ok. Thankfully some people had archived older versions of the video and discovered it. And the wording that they changed had major implications for content creators.
