It may be fair to say that YouTube is distancing itself from its foundation, the creators. Creators are now having to comply with new rules and we are flagged often for not being advertiser-friendly. While at the last YouTube Creator day in August 2017 they made it perfectly clear that they wanted to remake themselves and those participating would have to comply with their new "Family Friendly Environment".

YouTube, like other IP's and or businesses, know that the internet is the future for disseminating information, entertainment, and news. They not only want to be the next Netflix or Hulu, they want to be the next cable and or television network.

This means that those pesky amateurs (creators) will have to step up and start making "worthy" content to be on their platform. It used to be all about the creators, now its all about the business of YouTube.

I spoke to Roberto Blake when I was at the Creator Day and he essentially said the YouTube Big Wigs told the Coders to clean up youtube and thus the "Algorithm" was born. The Big Wigs don't care about the creators, they care about YouTube's viability to compete in the TV/Cable/Streaming market.
