Dear @TeamYouTube
As someone who grew up watching youtube and dreamed of one day becoming a youtuber because of what the site allowed, it's a real shame to see that you aren't even trying to listen to what your community has to say now.
Please communicate with us.
Team up with tons of other youtubers and make a youtube replacement. That will solve many problems. If it was made by content creators, then it can't be disconnected from other content creators. I'm sure it's not hard to find someone who is fit for the task.
