Just as a quick reply, none of my videos have been flagged yet, but it's a little unnerving for me to think I could wake up tomorrow and see a dozen or so videos of my flagged. I think they're targeting newer stuff; I could be wrong though.

I don't have a whole lot I can add to what's been already said on that Reddit post. I'm disappointed in Nintendo really; many Let's Players I see out there who focus primarily on Nintendo are some of the most enthusiastic Let's Players out there. Do you really want them to potentially shift to PC/other consoles when your Wii U is selling like crap?

Hey Youtube! What are you doing?

Markus Persson @notch
We had a meeting with YouTube and got told we could get a cut of all Minecraft video ad revenue. It was tempting.


Are they talking to companies about videos showing their content?

Adam Sessler addresses this issue pretty well on the second half of this Sessler's Something: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43nR8ODUSME
