You not caring about something is vastly different than a brand caring about something.

Brands supposedly pushed Google in to the "adpocalypse" and other types of ad revenue purges. Why? Because supposedly their content was being shown next to uncouth content. Content still allowed on YouTube (read: less extreme than hardcore porn).

So, now you tell me. Why should it be OK for Google to do what they constantly take money away from others over? And over less serious content, no less.

It's about the hypocrisy. If you cannot see any, you're not looking. If you don't care about hypocrisy, then you're just a fucking idiot.
