The question is:
If we are marionettes... who is pulling the strings?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Is it the web page that’s slow or is it your network connection? In the future, Google’s Chrome web browser may have an answer for you. By any chance, are "slow" websites the ones that don't pay Google?

YouTube is rolling out updated terms of service on December 10th, and a new line acts as a reminder that the company doesn’t have to keep any video up that it doesn’t want to. We're going to need a new place for cat videos!

I saw a raging argument between two people online about this very area.
Believe it or not, there are people who think they have a 'right' to post content/videos on a site.
I think sometimes a sense of entitlement can overpower any potential for rational thinking.

The "You" in "YouTube" implies that it is for "You". What YouTube are doing is shifting the balance way from the "You" toward "Me" and this is them laying the groundwork for that. They are going to start removing non-corporate, non-celebrity channels and soon it'll only be Jimmy Kimmel, Will Smith, Conan O'Brien, CNN and so on. They're going to turn into the mainstream media that people flocked to them to avoid.

It's really not that simple. The problem is that these "platforms" act as publishers, but don't carry the risk of a publisher. A publisher can be sued for content published on their site, but a platform has protection against being sued, because they are viewed as more of a public utility. This really comes down to free speech. If YouTube is declared as a publisher, then yes, they can discriminate on what content they wish to publish, but can also be sued for said content. If they are declared as a platform or utility, then they do not have that right to deny their service or censor the content.

Then they should change a little bit the model of making money that they use... because for me, that's not a "service" is a "busines" and as such... and more being from google... they will do as they want, when they want. And anyone thinking another thing is a bit naive.

They're just tired of having to answer the hard questions about their content policy. You know, questions, like, "What is your content policy?"
