Long live NoNolesNeckin.

Ya fuckin' ganderneck.
Why shouldn't the creator be allowed to make that decision for their own videos?

YouTube realised that giving random ass people on the internet the ability to mass flag and take down videos wasn’t the smartest idea.

Only good concept in YouTube heroes was getting points for adding captions to a video to incentivise community activity,

why they couldn't have just made them work instead, i have no idea
