Taking the You out of YouTube, one cannibalistic corporate interest at a time.
This is going to SLAUGHTER YouTube.
It honestly just looks like they're TRYING to kill the platform.
Maybe it got out of hand. I'm trying to think of non-conspiratorial reasons why they are doing this.
Massive amount of footage gets uploaded to YouTube every minute. It must be A LOT of data...
Maybe this is their version of population control.
That's the most innocent explanation I have.
Aside from that...
The more realistic reason (IMO) is that ALTERNATIVE MEDIA IS TAKING OVER YOUTUBE AND THEY CAN'T HANDLE IT.
Their corporate masters are breathing down their necks, threatening God only knows what if they don't get this situation under control.
And even if it means sacrificing their own platform...
I bet they are willing to, just to appease their masters, just to avoid whatever threats that are being made actually being carried through with.
Mhm...
I bet that's what it is.
