Maybe not that interesting for everyone here, but I found no better community for this.

I didn't single out any particular YouTube channel for individual scorn. My comment was in reference to that very well sourced video about private equity buying up / investing many YouTube channels, of which they provided sources for in the description of the video.

Look, I'm sorry you got invested in Youtube channels and now feel betrayed, but that's something everyone else already understood: don't blindly trust anyone or any organisation, they can be bought, and will when it's advantageous to do so.

In the meantime, don't shit on people's work without a good reason, or you're doing the work for those who mean to control you.

I have no idea what you're going on about.

It's not a matter of betrayal, it was a video revealing another area of influence in society that is now controlled behind the scenes by private equity.

Whose work was I shitting on? I was shaming people who were down voting that very well sourced and informative video, that documented private equity's quiet takeover of major YouTube channels.

Maybe you should review the comment thread and see if you meant to respond to someone else, because that's the most charitable explanation I can come up with for your responses to me.
