Most tubers are probably unaware of the fascinating YT war between intelligent, logical, educated tubers and less intelligent, illogical, less educated, tubers who are also whiners, liars, and cheats. A friend will understand which groups I mean.
At 2:20 Criss talks about flagging. At 2:36 she describes how tubers can write to YouTube.
Advertising (which they cannot ignore because it might mean profits)
Community Help Forums (with a fascinating discussion about the war)
If you do chose to write to YT, it would probably be wise to use an alternate account. The tuber who initiated this suggestion has had his channel inactivated and the contact-prompting video removed.
This indicates that YouTube does pay attention – it simply takes the wrong actions in response to problems. There might be another boycott in the works, or – and this would serve YT right – a mass decamping to a more responsive video supporting website. In other words, move the party to a different "house".
The types of creeps who are votebotting videos such as ZOMGitsCriss's are the same creeps who are flagging gay videos because "God" said that homosexuals are an abomination – along with a great many other abominations. (See Chapter and Adversity.)

From what I can tell, ThunderF00t's video is being mirrored by many, many channels. Dprjones has the original video up and has provided a link where it can be downloaded and he is asking that everyone upload it to their channels.
Here's the url that he provided:

It helps to make a very big stink -- drjone's video has annotations indicating that Thunderfoot's channel functionality has been reinstated.

"So youtube have removed the youtube vs the users video by Thunderf00t, for community guideline violations. BULLSHIT.
They basically threw their toys out of the pram because someone organized a protest against them.
Youtube is of course free to act like jerks all they want. Its just that will become their brand image. If they really think this is the brand image they want to adopt, then of course thats their choice.
They need users to financially exist. If they chose to stomp on users who displease them, then why would anyone want anything to do with them?
Youtube acting like this really does dispel this idea that youtube is some fuzzy happy company that doesnt want to be evil. They act as ruthlessly as any other company. The only thing to prevent them from doing so is the mass action of the users they rely on for survival."
Correction: Thunderf00t's channel has not be reinstated. His latest video was uploaded to another channel (beautyintheuniverse).
The fight continues.
