When writing a case study about YouTube for the Strategy module as part of my Master's degree programme, I predicted that YouTube was going to start moving away from user generated content and towards professionally generated content in an attempt to possibly even compete with conventional TV services. However, some of the ways that they have gone about achieving that mission were not quite what I had expected at all.

It was not just those channels that supposedly spread 'hate speech' that were affected; even channels such as 'China Uncensored' have apparently been affected, which I believe few people could have truly expected due to the fact that YouTube is not so easily accessible in China.

Throughout its entire existence, YouTube has apparently never been profitable and is still to this day, effectively propped up by Google. Whether the 'advertiser friendly' moves are done with profitability in mind or achieving the political objectives of the far-left leaning corporate leaders in Silicon Valley, one cannot be certain what their aims really are.
