There’s definitely a middle ground somewhere between both of our perspectives. I didn’t write it out, but you did bring up a great point regarding them notoriously being a shitty company to the people they rely on for income as well as the people they exploit for endcome, the creators and viewers respectively.

I mean on a very strict technicality, I suppose part of this is secretive, but I still think there’s a better word out there for it. There’s absolutely no way they thought they could alter many many videos and it not be caught. I don’t think their intent was secretive. It has the same feel as lying by omission. Not quite a lie but could technically be classified as one.

I’m really tired, and I got to get to bed. If you’re willing to continue tomorrow I’d be down.
