I agree the Youtube is controlled , no doughs about it .
2 years ago you could go to youtube , and see the most viewed video from all the country , all the top video were form a conspiracy type all regions of the planet , all the country's on you tube . Then one day they they all vanished still there but could no longer be accessed and promoted by the site by views .
That worked for some times then the last update they changed the video rating system so that no one could get stars and exposure that comes from it .
Basically to some extent you are free to put everything you like there and they have the right to manage your exposure , And yes some video get edited , or removed on complaint from others , convenient isn't it .
Anyway it really changed over the last 3 years , its going the right direction .
