I have nothing nice to say about any Google-owned company but is this really all that different from $city’s Best $business or literally any other corporate “award” that’s nothing more than thinly-veiled advertising? At least YouTube had the good sense to cut out the marketing middle man and just award it to themselves.
- grawprog 6y agoUsually when that kind of corporate feelgood bullshit happens though, it's not publicized and isn't done in such an in your face, 'lol fuck you everybody' kind of way. Like literally describes while receiving the award how censorship and pandering to corporate advertisers is free speech. Also, typically, most of the time, the thousands of people directly negatively affected by the reason for the award aren't able to publicly display their disgust.
- jjeaff 6y agoNo, it would be a lot more like a city creating a Best City in America award and then awarding it to themselves.
