YouTube recently announced a policy to algorithmically demote videos containing profanity so that they wont appear on the Most Viewed and Most Discussed list. Here is their blog entry announcing the new policy

Both VioletKitty411 and Jezuzfreek777 have applauded this policy. My video takes the opposite view.

![Dont Scuttle The Settlement Between Thunderf00t and VFX
This video is a response to Kurtilein3s video: [DRAMA] thunderf00t versus venomfangx
For those who are not familiar with the Thunderf00t/VenmFangX drama—a VERY quick synopsis:
VenomFangX filed a ton of DMCAs against critics who used clips of his videos without his permission. He claims that he didnt actually file the DMCAs. Instead, he says, he authorized a friend to do it. This claim is questionable, but even if it is true he is still not off the hook. His friend acted as his agent, so he is almost certainly still legally liable.
Thunderf00t threatened to complain to Youtube about VFXs false DMCAs in order to get VFXs account suspended. He also threatened a lawsuit against VFX. He had a ton of evidence that VFX had broken the law, and it would have been a slam dunk win, in my opinion. He told VFX that he would refrain from filing suit and complaining to Youtube provided that VFX close his account and stay off of Youtbe for a year. He gave VFX until Sept. 22 to make his decision. If he did not close his account by the morning of Sept. 23, he would tell his lawyer to file his lawsuit against VFX.
VFX responded at first by accusing Thunderf00t of blackmail. This accusation, IMO, was baseless since Thunderf00t had every right to offer an out of court settlement after having been the victim of VFXs DMCA abuse.
However, VFX changed his tune as the deadline approached with this apology video.

Thunderf00t received a lot of flack by people who think he let VFX off the hook too easily. He put out this video explaining why he did not go through with the lawsuit.

kurtilein3 is now trying to scuttle the agreement between VenomFangX and Thunderf00t. Scuttling that agreement would be a bad move, IMO. It is also premature to make a decision about whether VFX was let off the hook until we hear all the terms of the settlement.

I hope Thunderf00t will include Rozeboosjes suggestions in the final settlement. Dont Scuttle The Settlement Between Thunderf00t and VFX](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pRdSdLlzbhc/mqdefault.jpg)
