What is getting really irritating and frustrating right now is YouTube deleting my top favorites one by one. They were some of the most awesome tributes I've ever seen, and the users did have to overcome many difficulties to do it, I can tell. And imagine how hard it must be when someone's worked long and dedicatedly on something only to have it removed without a second thought.
And they DID put a disclaimer up and did NOT make it for profit but to express fandom, and yet YouTube removes it anyway. Why? And what's worse is one of my favorite MV makers, who loves Disney with all her heart and shows it by doing music videos, is now suspended by YouTube. Regardless of her hard work, sincere disclaimers, obvious respect for the copyright owners, and the reasons behind the video. And there are plenty more people out there that have gone through the same thing. Why do you do it?

And I'm afraid what makes no sense at all is that you take off purely fanmade videos that does no harm whatsoever, and even suspend the people that made them, while you leave the uploaded full movies alone.

Just thinking about all those people have gone through to make the videos possible...like how some people made them not only for fandom, but also because they would like to dedicate it to a long-lost friend or something. No disrespect, but it sickens me to think that YouTube treats it like just a bug to flick off your screen.

With all due respect, this isn't fair. If you continue to do this, YouTube, with the ongoing deleting this and that, here and there, you'll end up losing a lot. Yep, doing this makes there more to be lost than there is to be gained. You'll lose your attention-catching videos that make people enjoy this website so much, and by suspending/deleting accounts, you're losing more chances of giving this website more attention. And keep going on like this, and YouTube's popularity will be near extinct. Then YouTube will be pretty much nothing without its members or videos. Or with very little members and scarce videos.

So, I say if we can come to an agreement, it'll be like this: if a member wants to post up a video, he/she must put up a firm disclaimer and must not gain any profit from it. If, however, the video will offend the copyright owners (though most videos are fanwork and fanwork is meant to give tribute to the copyright owners)or causes threats and fights amongst the members, or if it's completely pointless, then by all means, remove it. Suspend/delete an account only when truly necessary. Like, what did the member do wrong? If it's just making videos, please, just let the account live. And also, please allow past fanmade videos and past accounts that were deleted only because of this matter come back.

Thanks for listening. Please at least really, deeply, think about it. The way you're cutting off all these poor accounts and their videos makes all of us users back at YouTube very depressed.

EDIT: Might I add one more thing, FYI, YouTube, the majority of the videos we make (that you delete) are meant to COMPLIMENT and even ADVERTIZE for the copyright owners. [isn't it obvous?] I mean think about it: why would we make them in the first place? Don't you realize we put so much CARE and EFFORT we put into our work? Don't you read the DISCLAIMERS we put up for your notice? Don't you even give them a CHANCE?
(sorry if I sound like I'm losing my temper here, but the way you're treating us will no doubt arouse anger). PLEASE take it into your consideration that we mean no harm! You should get someone's story before caling them guilty and throwing them in jail, just like you should understand our points of view before you delete!
