YouTube
YouTube is a centralized proprietary botnet and censorship platform where videos are occasionally posted. Most YouTube videos feature an annoying faggot complaining about demonetization. YouTube was originally a cool site on the Web which allows for easy sharing of videos. Google purchased YouTube in 2006, to replace their own service Google Videos. Google first maintained YouTube, then began its decline in 2012 with the integration of Google+, which no longer exists. Later, Larry Page appointed his Wife to be the head of YouTube. Now, YouTube is a hyper-censored medium attempting to emulate Cable Television. Many veteran "YouTubers" have left the platform for other services. YouTube has a number of criticisms from many facets of people, especially the political Left and Right Wing of the United States due to its censorship.
3 Strikes Policy
YouTube has a 3 strikes policy, whereby if three videos are flagged for inappropriate content within a given period of time, a user's account is revoked. Users that have their accounts shut down are encouraged to request an appeal at YouTube HQ in person.
