Just hearing of an incident ongoing in YouTube' corporate headquarters, courtesy of CBS news.
Hoping nobody here is directly affected:
Watch "Active shooter situation at Youtube HQ", a CBSN video on CBSNews.com. View more CBSN videos and watch CBSN, a live news stream featuring original CBS News reporting.

So now even youtube is being attacked. It is true that even companies is not safe as well. Shooters can just go on shooting anyone at anytime.

Youtube got attacked by Angry Youtubers who got their channels demonetized.
Adult marketed videos use to make money with Youtube. You know those Vloggers who curses on their videos, Women who dresses sexy on their videos and other videos that is more targeted to adults.
Suddenly those inappropriate unathorized Spiderman Elsa videos became viral at Youtube kids app making many parents complain. You can also add the controversy when Popular Youtuber Pewdiepie did a racist Joke and the Paul Brothers causing a lot of controversies for views.
That make Youtube became too strict and demonitized a lot of videos.
The shooter got mad because her channel got demonetized.

@CaptAlbertWhisker I see. Thank you for that info, my friend. But if that is the case, Youtube did what they think is right. And acting out of anger can really cause serious damage. People want their freedom expressed yet they cannot do their responsibilities. Tsk.

@mlgen1037 She didnt know that many demonetized channels and adult content channels can still earn money via Patreon. Instead of acting out of anger she should have tried ways to earn with Youtube after being demonetized.
Also Youtube has been trying to solve the problem of Adult Youtube channels so they can make money again but she was impatient.

Youtube is partly blamed. The shooter got crazy because she was victim of the adpocalypse. Its where Youtubers stopped making money because of bot censorship.
For sure her decision is wrong and stupid but I understand her frustration.

@Plethos which didnt happen since Youtube deleted all her channels while channels of spree killers are still uploaded.

@CaptAlbertWhisker - thats what the common thinkers would say. Others will still view it as censoeship, deleting of evidence. Leave it up, so we can decide for ourselves type of thing.

Never heard of this incident and based on reading it was a woman shooter, right?

Oh no! Well, YouTube itself has haters.
I had issues yesterday with the site, it kept on giving me errors.
The ones with the monkeys that are afraid of screenshots.
Hopefully it isn't causing much damage.

The shooter apparently is a Youtuber who use to make money from Youtube but got victimized by the Adpocalypse. Youtube is her source of income and she snapped.
