They changed their layout and now it's slow and bloated like a fucking nigger. The one good thing about it is I don't have to click on "load more comments" on the bottom since it does that automatically now.

Something to note is that YouTube, ostensibly, will demonetize videos based on what sites reference them. What this basically entails is that YouTube channels popular on 4chan are more likely to be demonetized because their videos are being circulated on 4chan. There's no real article or journal I can site to give my claims authenticity, though, since this is all mostly social media speculation, but this is a pretty viable theory if you look at a family-friendly, advertiser-friendly YouTube channel like RoTW, "Review Brah", and the correlation between his videos being demonetized and his popularity on places like /r9k/. This is obviously fucked up since RoTW has no control over what circles his videos appeal to. It's hard to know whether sites flagged as disfavorable are the product of an algorithm or being manually procured; if the former, that means that a site like this also has some (albeit minor) negative weight to the YouTube links that it circulates.
I'm not a huge advocate of HookTube. I use it, but I sincerely think that the guy who shills HookTube in any thread with a YouTube link is a serious asshole and a moron, which is why I'll share HookTube links when I have a video to share, and I use the HookTube redirect userscript, but I never, ever shove HookTube down the throats of other people, for fear that it'll inevitably leave a sour taste. With that in mind, this new revelation could be serious incentive to use HookTube links for the sake of channels that you like when you share them on sites like this. This means that, while previously, the appeal of HookTube was very insignificant in that it was only a lesser evil, the appeal of HookTube, now, is, in some small way, can actually be thought of in positive terms.

>>12 No, as I understand, those comments are just censored. The uploader won't realize the comments are censored, but if that person were to log out of their YouTube account and look at their own video, they would notice that the comment count is noticeably lower. And even if that were the case, what makes you think that YouTube can't weight bad comments and bad referrals? You get bad YouTube comments on every video on that platform, though, so I doubt that censored comments count towards whether a video is demonetized or not.
