Recently youtube has started to suck. Why? Why ruin the future of entertainment?
Because it was so disruptive that it enabled anyone to make and submit content, thus bypassing the gatekeepers in Hollywood and the FCC.
In the past, you could not make a white supremacist tv show. It was not allowed. Then youtube came along and anyone could submit anything they wanted. No need for schedules, content policing, or huge budgets. Anyone with half way decent skills and cheap equipment could become a content provider.
This was good in the beginning, as tons of money was made. But then an unexpected side effect happened: the media cartel lost power.
So now they are trying to destroy these streaming services in order to prevent them from taking over.
The problem, is that this genie may not have a bottle to be put back into. Baidu is a huge global force now, and if youtube goes away, they may make their own version, outside of US law and jurisdiction. They have the money, and the technology is 10 years old now. Also the Chinese are buying Hollywood studios and getting into mass media.
That is how much trouble Hollywood is in. They are no longer the media weapon that they used to be, they have become irrelevant, and potential enemies are hijacking one of the CIA's most effective tools.
Hence why google would want to kill youtube by making everyone hate it.
