Well, yeah, you're absolutely right about that. The fact is that YouTube NEEDS content, and it needs not just any content but especially content that draws viewers, especially lots and lots of viewers that can generate ad revenue. And, unfortunately, sometimes (often) lots of viewers want to look at really stupid (or awful, or evil) shit. And that will never change. And you're right about the prior platforms being horrible behemoths to manipulate (although it WAS fun fucking around with MySpace pages, LOL, although I had an ETS friend whose MySpace page could seriously cause seizures). And whatever takes its place will have the same scenario; it's human nature that's causing these problems, not the platform, itself.
