The Adpocalypse Returns - 2019 Remake

The Video Insiders are back! This week Carlos and Tom discuss the chaos and bad press around YouTube over the last couple of weeks. 

These days it seems like not a week goes by where a social platform is in trouble, Facebook with fake news or bad behaviour that's not being flagged or monitored on YouTube. Once again the creators are left to pay the price for something they've known for a long time but Google/YouTube did not listen until brands started pulling out.

We know that YouTube needs to clean up its act and now its hand is forced. Will it penalizing small creators in doing so? 

What do you think? Should YouTube and other platforms clean up their act? How will it affect video creators? Let us know on Twitter @VideoInsiders
