CGP Grey struck a reaction video by Vlogging Through History. Pretty sure it was fair use, and Vlogging Through History always does a great job in adding onto the videos that he's reacting to, and providing links to those videos. Not great to see.

Not to hate on this particular Youtuber, but why is Youtube making content on their website called "NAKED" with a naked woman in the thumbnail, but it won't even monetize educational content for being "too controversial."

Ah yes, Comrade Natalie defending the North Korean regime against US aggression and propaganda! Natalie is very upset that we showed Mao in some red fog, very offensive to our great leader! Our comrade Mao did not starve and murder millions! We must worship our leader!

If I reupload the SAME video it has monetization... there's absolutely no consistency here. It's like Youtube wants to play a game where if I get a certain number of views they demonetize it...

Marshal Mud and General Winter always take credit for Germany's defeat... but what about the often forgotten Lieutenant Logistics? Did all the work (or lack thereof in Germany's case) but gets none of the credit!

I'm not sure how they're going to suddenly just change their game to allow two campaigns as either side after the game has already been seemingly designed. The spelling errors in this post like "we updated the describtions" don't help my confidence in this game but time will tell

and issued formal copyright strikes on VTH's channel. In order to enforce these strikes, CGP would actually need to sue VTH for copyright infringement, which shows how serious this matter is. Doing a strike on someone's channel is the most extreme measure you can take (2/2).

Youtube thinks a subject that can be taught to an 11-year-old can't be talked about to grown adults on their platform. By demonetizing history, you're encouraging content creators to pretend it never happened. History is full of ugly things and we can't forget about the past. 2/2

Considering you call everyone you disagree with Fascists, I can see why you attract a lot of hate. And tweets like the one I attached attract hordes of your "comrades" spamming my videos with hate comments calling me a Nazi. You started this entire thing. You reap what you sow.

Victoria 3 recently announced that they're doing away with their old tactical army system and going for something more strategic, players won't be controlling individual units anymore. I just hope it doesn't become just the HOI4 air battle system... What do you guys think?

If Biden is acting like he has dementia and can barely remember his own name, and Sanders only really resonates with younger people who don't even vote and will only scare Republicans into a huge turnout for Trump, do you think the election is over before it's even started?

I don't care what your political stance is on all of this, I'm just amused at how poorly worded this entire thing is. I love this sentence in particular "Robert E. Lee is considered by many Generals to be the greatest strategist of them all."

CGP is the same guy who won't let people comment on his videos unless they financially support him on Patreon. He also complains if Redditors get more upvotes than he does about his content, so weirdly petty.

YouTube, you can't monetize my video and then instantly demonetize it only when it's made public. The system isn't broken because demonetization exists, it's broken because there is ZERO communication on how any of it works.
