From everything I've seen and heard about YouTube over the past few years, it honestly seems like it's self-destructing. It's heartbreaking and infuriating to see. Honest hardworking creators are being driven into the ground, while liars, thieves, and companies get to the top.
So please @TeamYouTube, start listening to the creators and the community again. Because, once the people are pushed too far and a new opportunity arises, they will leave. And every penny of revenue goes with them.
