Youtube Cares More About Copy Rights Than Human Rights?

Hey guys I have a great Idea! I will make a video showing how bad it is for youtube to censor videos/delete channels etc to please its sponsors in order to make more money. What? That is completely within its rights? What? It kind of undermines my whole idea of "freedom" when I hypocritically get angry at a website that hosts my videos at no cost to me for choosing to do certain things (certian things that are completely within its rights to do. Youtube can take down your video FOR ANY REASON, they owe you no reason) to make more money, just because it may or may not be something I like? What? There are many other free video streaming sites I could host my videos on if I do not like youtube's policies? What? My logical fallacies in an attempt to make youtube look like some evil oppressive machine kind of fall short of convincing other "independent thinkers?"

Yeesh. I agree youtube goes the extra mile with copyright enforcement, takes no chances so to speak. But in almost every instance I have ever read about or seen that youtube took down something that was not actually a violation and the user requested an investigation or explained what was going on, the video was put back up. I greatly suspect there is more to why "The Alex Jones" channel was taken down than this video lets on, but if he really was just another innocent conspiracy theorist I bet the channel will be reinstated.

Just my 10 cents.
