YouTube is now slowly being dominated by corporations and YouTube partners...its not like it was before...
At first I thought the channels such as HULU or VEVO were just going to die away because they often copyrighted their videos, previewed short clips
and only advertised mainstream pop music garbage - but I was wrong.
In the end, the Big Corporations won, and the people lost. Corporations now tell you whats most popular or trendy on YouTube, NOT general public
opinion.
All videos which were and still uploaded by normal people are just shoved in a corner which can only be found if you actually know what you're looking
for.
The fact is, most don't know what they want to watch when they are bored or something, hence thats why they'll easily be lured into this new
consumerist driven YouTube full of ADs, pay to view videos and basically videos which the corporations tell them which is the "most popular or
trendy".
Also, another thing to point out is that it has also made it very easy for the Government, the mainstream media and certain clandestine groups to
quickly spread fake videos of protests or incidents to quickly swing public opinion in their favour. Something I'm sure they'll LOVE to do as they
start their campaign to demonise Russia - as if they haven't started already.
I wonder how long before they openly start censoring "conspiracies" or views against the mainstream establishment...
