Google needs to get off Youtube

Excellent! I'm glad this site is going to get more us out of it because it as a really useful and well-made website for people who just love to debate or plan a future in politics like I do. I'm glad that even debate students like you can start getting into it. Anyways, on to my argument. I'm going to respond to each list of your contentions individually so it is nice and clean. 1.) Yes, admittedly, the comment section is very much cleaner than how it used to be and censorship has supposedly been increased. But on my end, I literally see no difference in mean comments, spam, and hate gone. And I think Bob and his army finally went away because youtubers started to realize how ridiculous and pointless it was to spam the heck out of it, and since I still see a lot of spam, it was clear that Google had no help in it. It was just the users of Youtube that finally got sick of the stupid Bob person, and thank goodness for that. Now, I never said that the comment sections have not had their improvements because they certainly have. But to me, it isn't worth it because the bad is more present than the good in my opinion. 2.) Google integration is no don't good for organizing and all that, but content creators like me shouldn't be FORCED to integrate our accounts in with Google. That should be a choice of the user. Not Google. Because some channels didn't want to be integrated with Google. Check out Mrrepzion's video: http://youtu.be..., mind you some of his points are outdated, but you can check out his other videos on the topic as well. But it does have a couple good points still. 3.) You see, your argument here sounds rational, but you are just basing it off and assumption. I liked facebook's recent changes, they aren't really that bad at all. But you are just basing it off an assumption. I do not like Google's changes for good reason. Legitimate concern. And if you check out youtubers like Mrrepzion, AngryJoeShow and TotalBiscuit have legitimate dislike in Google as well. This isn't just a childish change hating ordeal. This is legitimate concern. Rebuttal Responses: 1.) I do not feel MY voice is being ignored, I feel EVERYONE's voice is being ignored. And yes, they have made changes here and there, but they aren't making changes off things that people are harping upon heavily, just minor changes just so they can tell themselves "Hey, we changed something!" And yes, Bob and his stupid 'army' have made a lot of people on Youtube look like children, and it is sad. But they should really be listening to people like Angry Joe and Total Biscuit and people like me who are willing to express their serious concern against them. With actual constructive criticism instead of just spam. They shouldn't punish EVERYONE for a bunch of childish youtubers and should still listen. Because despite the maturity level of the Bob spam, let's be honest. It was caused nonetheless by their changes. I hated the Bob spam though, the users expression of dislike should have been much more rational, but it wasn't. But we can at the very least admit it was caused by the changes. And I'm not ignoring the new tools, I've used them and still do not like them, but can't do anything about it because again, I am forced to be integrated. 2.) Copyright infringement is no joke, but AngryJoe's problems and TotalBiscuits problems are STILL present. Check out their recent videos on the manner and you will see that. And again, AngryJoe and TotalBiscuit, if you watch their videos, will show that these aren't mild inconveniences. And for your last point, they are disabling comments and not on hot button issues. The reason users like Pewdiepie haven't been cancelling his comments is because he has to have a way to communicate with his "bros." That's what his "Friday's with Pewdiepie" series is all about, and if he blocks the comments regularly, he cannot do that. He has been doing it on some videos however because of this issue. And I personally think that "ARE YOU JUST GONNA WATCH ME BURN?! - TTT" is a hot button top topic to limit cyber bullying. 3.) It does sound like they make sense, but the users that are having their videos flagged are completely innocent because all they do is review games, like the AngryJoeShow and TotalBiscuit and show clips of the game in their reviews. They HAVE to, to make their game review backed up with evidence. AngryJoeShow's recent videos have shown that for example his Skyrim review was flagged by not surprisingly Bethesda, the makers of Skyrim because he talked to them about this. It was infact being claimed by the "Ministry of sound UK." And the reason for that was because that company had noticed a literal 17 seconds of music that had apparently belonged to them somehow. 17 seconds of a song playing in the background and a small clip like 3 seconds that belonged to them. Which, AngryJoe had no idea who these guys were and I bet noone else did either. This company was clearly flagging his video just to harvest money off that video. Check out his video here for more information and his opinion on it all. http://youtu.be.... The people being flagged are not posting up long winded soundtracks to games or posting up movies or anything. They aren't copyrighting, they have legitimate permission to be allowed to do this because of what they do. In conclusion, that is my statement. And yes, thank you for accepting this debate. And I still believe that Google just needs to change everything and move back to the old system. Youtube themselves could easily do the few good things that Google did themselves without the 'help' of them.
