YouTube was proftable until the recent adpocalypse. Since that moment all of a sudden they care about what is happening on their platform, before that time the trolls, extortionists and gangsters had free reign to create anonymous entities to do what ever they wanted. Now that YT is getting punished by advertisers, YT is passing the buck to content creators who never published anything controversial. YT is not a free service in the same way Google and Facebook are not free; you just didn't recognize the currency you paid them with.
That being said, YouTube is a fabulous platform in functionality, image and sound quality. Their 4K image quality is stunning to say the least. Greetings!
Edit: If YouTube was so concerned with protecting copyright holders, why are they making it possible for Facebookers and other YouTubers to steal my work? They are protecting corporate entities, the same protection is not available to us.

Thank you @onnovocks! Its nice to see that someone gets it... That damn "Top Five Central" stole my video, used it almost in it's entirety without saying a word to me. And they got 20 million+ views. Meanwhile my original has like 3k views...
Yeah @jeffmcmullen, I found my work with logo intact on other platforms getting 700 views per day when mine sits in YT with 700 views in 7 months. He could have linked my video, but chose to copy, and upload; It's more work so I can't say he is lazy, but there is no way for me to get those views back :/
When I upload a cover band, I may get 23 different copyright holders making a claim to 90 seconds of it, but when my stuff is used, I have to be lucky enough to find it myself, or get an email from a friend saying, hey did you know.....
If you want to know how YT really works, give this website a gander: devumi (.) com. Everything is for sale; Subs and views by the thousands. Personally I'm more about the interaction with viewers, but even here the reality is that time is limited, voting power is limited to 10 a day ( or it kills yur bandwidth locking you out completely), so I can see why people use Bots and self upvote. As long as the whales are doing that, I won't feel bad about doing the same. Greetings!
