#& i bet most of the people who worked yt originals are gone now cause they were production/talent manager people & yt doesnt do that anymore

What's your opnion on youtube comments on Dan and Phil apology? Personally after the ay that YouTube treated Dan Howell I would be pissed, like San may not hold grudges but I do <3 also the WAD thing

youtube the company is different than the youtube brand which is different than the youtube copyright system.

the people involved with youtube originals who cancelled dan's plans/went back on their word are not the same people leaving comments on dapg--though, that would be a hilarious way to try to atone. i'd bet most of the people working there now, especially the ones writing comments for dnp, have no idea about the sordid history here. and the copyright issue with WAD wasn't because it was dan--it was an automatic flag in the system, which dan knew would happen hence him jumping through all the needed hoops ahead of time (getting permission, buying the license, labelling it correctly). it's just that youtube's copyright system is extremely flawed (especially concerning music), and even if you do everything right sometimes youtube says fuck you regardless. though... now that we say that are we sure that they're not all the same

like i hold grudges too but this situation is not that black and white--if dan really hated youtube as a whole that much he would've never appeared on the platform again. is it his favourite? no. but he wears his big boy pants and can recognize the differences between departments, as well as cause and effect
