In the year of our Lord 2016, it kinda boggles my mind that Internet Critics still act shocked and/or upset that their works are flagged/sanctioned/whatever'd, especially when their content is "Major chunks of someone else's content that either cuts to my face, or just has me talking over that content the entire runtime".

You mean like when Brad talks in a car about a movie, using no IP whatsoever?

Yup. Totally not broken system.

Also I find this video hilarious since Doug talks about how youtube sucks for not communicating and not being very good business people. Swap out "youtube" for "channel awesome" and it's the same. LOL

He also said he doesn't like discussing internal business, since it's "unprofessional".

Swap out "unprofessional" with "makes our company and all the management look really, really bad"...

That was stupid, I agree.

When it comes to getting flags/strikes/whatevers, stuff like Brad talking in a car is the smart move for Internet Critics. The more your content is someone else's work with your face interspersed with it, the more likely you're going to get tagged by the folks who own that work.

It's like, I get that you want to review movies online. Great. Are you going to do it the way that's clearly fraught with risks and danger, or are you going to do it a way that reduces that risk?

Also, Todd liking Taylor Swift was something I was prepared for. Todd becoming a huge Justin Bieber apologist? That has kinda blind-sided me. He is still terrible, and his success in 2015 pissed me right off.

Nah, a lot of his 2015 stuff was actually decent or good. Justin Beiber the person is still horrible, but his music has gotten a lot better. Except his new one about how he totally doesn't care and his mom doesn't like her is pretty garbage.

Well, seems like everyone else thinks so. I sure don't. I like to think I have a pretty open mind, and I'm pretty sure I'm not letting my judgment get clouded by the fact that he's the "Baby" and "Eeenie Meenie" guy, but like, I've listened to his big hits this year. They are not good and he is not good. He has gone from being an annoying little poo poo in his younger years, to now just being a bland, uninteresting singer who makes tedious music. He didn't become good, just a different variety of bad. Apparently I'm in the vast minority here, but I just don't get the appeal. Like, what does he even bring to the table as a singer? In 2009 I didn't care for him, but I at least felt like I understood why he was popular. In 2015? I don't understand why he still has a career. I'm more confused about it than angry.

Channel Awesome has had it's Youtube monitization taken away, as well as other features, like videos being more than 15 minutes long.

They are pretty much hosed if they can't get this overturned, as those restrictions last for six months. And apparantly, they're not the only ones.

Didn't Doug like have a goodbye almost on par with him quitting his retail job with youtube when he first began?

I'm not sure how legit this is, but if it's true, Youtube's practices re monetisation are shady as gently caress.

I laugh at Doug for having a taste of his own medicine and not understanding how YouTube's policies changed for the worse. Seriously this is his business, he ain't no yourmoviesucks in quality but at least match it in understanding guidelines that affect your work.

It's still bad but Doug's ignorance is no bliss for him.

I'm just wondering why, if this is true, the OP decided to go for whistleblowing via pastebin and not, apparently, contacting the FBI and IRS.

It's pretty common for whistleblowers nowadays, who may not trust the official channels. Pastebin allows a fair amount of anonymity and is easily shareable.

Is it also common for it to be entirely hearsay? Because, while I have no problem believing that Google is loving around, it's sort of weird to offer no real proof. The whole thing is just so easily dismissed as STDH, so it seems weird to me if it's the for real deal.

Massive support, on Twitter? There are still miracles left in this world.

Chiming in with the congratulations as well, JO. Coming out as trans isn't always a smooth road, but the fact that you have friends and fans alike to support you is definitely a shock absorber, to stretch a metaphor farther than it probably makes sense.
