I totally loved YouTube until last month. I could search for anything I was unable to do: How To Do vids, How to Make Money vids - noooo, not printing it. How to Get Rich vids - but we all die trying anyway. Copyright Free Music channels - which is not really there is it? But I searched and I watched, thinking it's a great platform. I was wrong.
Most of it they make you see according to what you have looked before: Log out of YouTube, erase your cookies and all, and your world is suddenly a lot bigger with videos you never thought you could find.
Now, when a friend of mine got shot dead by the YouTube's police-team or was it youtube's team and policies? ... my love for YouTube was over. I cannot stand injustice - not because I know my dear friend but simply because I knew the channel and videos. I have heard the stories before. About a dictator named YouTube shooting innocent civilians in that digital city. But I was always thinking this was nonsense. This, will never happen with honest people. But Oh was I wrong!
My friend was just vlogging about family life, birthday parties, Christmas parties, and motivational stuff. Then YouTube decided after applying for adsense it was time to kick that person of the platform for no reason at all. Meanwhile always pointing to policies in general and no-one can specifically think of a good reason. It's kind of a shoot-and-duck game (you know what I mean...) for YouTube's police team and we are the immigrants.
I twittered to the CEO but she did not even respond when I asked her for a specific reason and why YouTube breaks it's own policies many times. Interestingly, when you bring enough traffic (money), they respond - although, then yould probably not even be kicked of the platform anyhow.
For me YouTube is now dead - a graveyard of deception and dishonesty. So I had to look for something else, a substitute, only better. Then, suddenly (searching through Yahoo - because I do not trust Google so much anymore) I stumbled upon d.Tube and from there also Steemit (both my cup of Thea). And although I have to get used to all those pass-codes, blocks, connections and all (it is kinda scary, confusing, and exciting at the same time) I really think I will like it here.
