       | This just seems like a manifestation of the class shift that
       | happened in the internet era. Don't be an idiot - you don't work
       | for youtube. You don't work for Youtube, you don't work for
       | Youtube, Uber, Facebook or Apple. You're a company that has a
       | business relationship with Youtube, Uber, Facebook or Apple. A
       | company that solely exists for your business relationship with
       | the aformentioned, and the business relationship resembles a BDSM
       | relationship more than a traditional relationship, but that's
       | fine, because that's what you knowingly signed up for when you
       | decided to contract with youtube.
       | 
       | And now, you want to come to _Youtube 's_ customers and complain
       | about youtube to them.
       | 
       | This is going to sound very harsh, but essentially what I'm
       | saying is that this isn't an issue with youtube, it's a political
       | issue about power dynamics in corporate and monopoly power, and
       | these surface level outbursts seema little... naive. Especially
       | when there's no mention of context - which is that this guy
       | basically built his business on sand.
       | 
       | Youtube completely fucks with this guy and his last phrase in the
       | video "Hope to see you on this bloody platform next sunday". Well
       | that's great leverage isn't it.
