    @YouTube You need to stop demonetizing people like @mmoxreview for no reason and be more transparent. Sudden demonetization of half their channel after no issue for ages? Is a reviewer on a power trip? You have no rhyme or reason. Enough's enough.

    @VA2PHILLY @YouTube Just happened to stumble across it from another channel. It's terrible yet shows how the government is still using the courts to enable wealthy investors to get richer.
