      I stopped reading at the insult. This is not Reddit. If you can’t talk to me without insulting me, I’m not interested. I’ll just block you if it happens again. If you want to talk to me without the insults, fine.

        My bad. I assumed you were trolling. If you honestly didn’t know what executioner referred to in that context, I sincerely apologise.

          I was being sarcastic about it, but I don’t think that warranted an insult. I’m just saying people shouldn’t be worked up just because he isn’t being paid anymore. He can still post videos. He hasn’t been banned. He’s also filthy rich, so this won’t really affect him. Sure, Google is doing it based on accusations (with good evidence), not a conviction, but it’s taking the most minor of actions that I would hardly call draconian overreach.

          Unless people think he deserves to be paid by Google, which I sure don’t since I don’t think anyone deserves that, there shouldn’t be an issue here.
