>literally said in a video about your opinion on it

lad

anyway, I doubt they look at NG specifically for the heroes program. Primarily the heroes program is going to be used to censor people and dissenting political opinions. Google already has demonstrated they're not afraid to exercise their power to orwellian ends. An example is their very blatant bias toward Hillary Clinton - hiding search results and suggestions about her health and scandals, while pushing criticism of Trump to the forefront, and more recently they've de-monetized videos criticizing hillary. You can argue de-monetization is not censorship, but it makes a youtube channel unsustainable for some and sends a clear message that they don't want free thought and dissenting ideas on their website.

Youtube is so far gone from being "for the people" but NG and Tom in particular has never strayed from that. If you've never heard, Tom in the older days has gone out of his way a couple times to stand up for the little guy on this site. At one point he paid $10,000+ to buy the license for a copyrighted image someone used in their game, to save them. Can you imagine youtube ever taking the user's side in a copyright issue?

also in future consider typing out a rough script or just bullet points of what you're going to talk about before you start recording

also also *of course* reddit has moderators, how else do you think it would work? You should consider making an account there, just unsubscribe from all the default subreddits and find ones more tailored to your interests. Imagine the forums here, except it's image based and you can make your own sub-forums ("subreddits") about any topic. Plus /r/newgrounds is where the whole NG gang goes every time this site goes down.
