YouTube is run by douchebags.

If any of you keep up with some of the times on YouTube, you may know about the suspensions of game reviewers like PlayItBogart and even the AVGN (he was suspended just about an hour-or-so ago, actually).
They've been removed for things such as terms of violation, etc.
Which, overall, is a load of complete bullshit, they used said content in a way that wasn't infringing.
So yeah, it's like YouTube's intentionally trying to destroy the reviewing community, due to a coincidental chain of events:



Coincidences or something set in place by those douchebags YouTube calls staff? Who knows?

Meh, dunno why I did this, but it's really pissed me off, and I felt the need to post it somewhere.

Clips from wrestling matches are copyright to their respective companies.
Clips from cartoons are the same way.
Deleting those two things is completely correct for YouTube to do or else they could be sued and NOTHING would ever be on the site again.

Now, the AVGN and others like him that review video games have a total right to do so because the clips are not copyrighted. THAT's the problem here.

And it sucks.
