Whatever they once stood for, #Google's aim now is exploiting their users' content for maximum profit.
If you don't want your videos to be exploited, it is important to switch to an independent alternative:
@switchingsocial @Blender Jeeze, enable ads in order to show the videos in the USA and a whole bunch of other issues.... You mean to tell me if someone's channel gets big, Youtube WANT you to monetize? That's ridiculous...
