User blog comment:Umbrello/Youtube Heroes: The End is Nigh!!/@comment-25941663-20160922134636/@comment-6548012-20160922135505

Well, the thing is, YouTube is putting everything in the hands of their users, who are rewarded for censoring anything that triggers them, because they are rewarded for moderating the comments, and the videos. So if you want to become a Hero, you just have to write nonsensical subtitles on hundreds of videos, erase all the comments and mass flag videos, because no one in the YouTube pleb will be able to say anything if they don't know who you are, and the YouTube staff doesn't give a shit about what you do, given that you are rewarded for that. That's what's mostly wrong about this system. Giving moderation tools to users can be nice, but it also means the staff doesn't do anything about it on their side of things.
