despite how much of a meme vid.me is right now, its probably the only realistic free alternative right now that may go somewhere. even so it may be too late for a change - google and youtube are pretty much too big to fail.

Google and YouTube are not too big to fail. Companies that are "too big to fail" are that way because they are, in part, funded by the government. If Annoying Orange even catches wind of what Google's doing with regards to restricting conservative videos or burying certain search results in pages and pages of left-leaning content, and he stops the federal funding, they're screwed.

wouldn't that be killing an expansionary fiscal policy with an enormous return on investment strictly because he doesn't like their political swing?

do you think he hasn't caught wind or something considering it's all over web media when it happens and then dies? why would the govt throw away a valuable asset like google in this day and age

psychicpebbles is working on a cartoon about all of this. im super excited lol
yknow, im sure youtube has some very legitimate business reasons for doing what they're doing. reasons i would probably even agree with, but is there seriously any reason that deems not updating your audience about your changes reasonable?

like youtube could easily get away with anything since they obviously are right now. half the community wouldnt be at youtubes throat about it though if youtube would just release a statment saying like "these are the changes we made, this is what to expect and this is how to deal with it" instead of just forgetin doing it with no announcement at all and literally throwing everyone under the bus

yeah. the huge problem with youtube right now is that they're being super silent about this kind of stuff. this demonetization bs has been going on for a long time already and its pissed off many good-faith content creators, and yet what does youtube do? nothing. not even an acknowledgement that they have some issues to fix.
