    Is it any different from product placement in movies or TV? Do you take Netflix to task because some random episode from some random show had a Sony laptop prominently on screen? I don’t understand how that’s YouTube’s responsibility.

    What next, you want to sue the government for having advertising billboards on roads because you pay taxes? In an ideal scenario of course it wouldn’t exist but that’s not the world we live in and it’s certainly not going away.

      It’s way different from that. It’s one thing to have a Sony laptop on the screen, it’s something entirely different to go on a 30 second discussion about Raid Shadow Legends, Nord VPN, etc.
