There's a lot of interesting take-aways in this post.
1. YouTube "prominently surfaces authoritative information" (i.e. promotes their corporate partners' content).
2. YouTube "limits the reach of borderline content" (i.e. suppresses content which does not violate its rules).
3. YouTube is trying to prevent third party content aggregators from linking to "borderline" content.
YouTube clearly has a preferred content source. I still remember the days when videos from Fox News or CNN would have 500 views. Those days are long gone now. Can't help but see them recommended on any political video.
All in all, a good day for some keen entrepreneurs. People joined "You"Tube not "Video"Tube. I hope this encourages disruption in the space.
