YouTube is racist. That is what some are saying when they look at the situation that we're

0:04.0

going to talk about for today's first story. So at the center of this, you have online creator

0:07.2

Corey Kenshin putting out a new video where he asks this big question. YouTube, you guys either

0:13.6

play favorites, you are racist or it's a mix of the two. These are the three options, YouTube.

0:22.7

Which one is it?

0:23.7

Right, so that video was posted yesterday,

0:24.7

it is currently number one trending.

0:26.6

And in that video, Corey outlines how he thinks

0:55.5

He looks at other creators playing that same game, and it seemed like he was the only one who got restricted.

0:59.5

So he appealed the decision, but it got rejected. He then reaches out to his YouTube content, who says that maybe it happened because at the end of the video, he includes a part the only one that featured that same part? But then he stumbles across another creator's video, Markiplier.

1:13.0

He's one of the biggest creators on the platform.

1:14.7

Corey's saying he has a lot of respect for Markiplier.
