These smear pieces against YouTube keep coming, and YouTube execs seem to think they can help it by appeasing the media; it only alienates their audiences, and paints a target on their back.
I agree. Example: Facebook. Journalists keep shitting on Facebook. Facebook doesn't care. Facebook (with WhatsApp and Instagram) keeps winning. Caving to the blackmailing would've probably left them in a worse position, like having to axe features that are popular for their users.
