Youtube's Official Twitter tries and does a sick burn but ends up looking more of an ass - "And Yet You Follow Us"

[Slamerella]

Youtube has obviously been in hot water from removing annotations because of the mobile app not supporting them, the Ad-Pocalpyse, outright admittance of censoring, blacklisting, and removing certain features from the site such as being able to subscribe and be alerted of a channel's new uploads, and much more within the last year, but there's been more such as false DMCAs in 2009, breaches and hacks that made high viewed channels lose their channel, videos, etc., and of course, the common problem, people losing their subscribers.

Now, Youtube tries to pull a Wendy's, but ends up pulling a Gamestop, trying to make a tweet that badmouths them rightfully, but ends up getting them no good boy points and makes them look like the usual Trump tweet.

Upon this tweet came this reply, and Youtube's

As of writing this, more people have liked the tweet by Ian Conery who seems to have this as his only claim to fame, than either of these tweets. That, and having Youtube's response, "and yet you follow us" deleted.

Another gem. A guy says whoever is running Youtube's Twitter should be fired, with a response of "disagree." 280+ replies vs 5.2k likes.

Imagine talking about the pay gap when there's a literal pay gap in your system, and people are so fed up that you think you can do no wrong.

Edit: Added an archive of the tweet, however, the original "and yet you follow us" has been since deleted.

They’re not wrong, whoever was put in charge of speaking for youtube on twitter is making youtube look like a petty little bitch. Probably should restaff that position.

Youtube will always pull the "we own you bitches" act, because is the truth.

 

[Rumpled Foreskin]

I can’t even imagine working for a company like that, and at the position I’m in, and acting like a total, petty douchebag. I guess his employer makes them feel empowered enough to act like that.

why fix the numerous problems with your website when you can virtue signal?

Okay lol

Honestly fuck Wendy's for starting this shitty ass trend. Even 'she' went on fire lately cause of being super petty on a guy who had to delete his account. Brands should beg for people to buy their products and yet try desperately to join 'weird twitter' and be mean to potential clients as a weird ass branding move.

Also youtube is having some actual competition now, and it's twitch. These imbeciles are gonna give another big chunk of market to Amazon on a golden plate. Fucking idiots

Because they're all nobody problems.

No one would ever care if this were literally any other website ever made.

If this were Blip.TV, we'd be screaming "Get a real job!" in unison. When did we all suddenly change our minds that making videos on the internet counts as a real job?

Wendy's staff have always been defensive cronyist dickbags, all the way down to the plebeian flipping the burger.

Doesn't Youtube own Twitch? They're even more balls out incompetent than Youtube according to @LordKaT.

Twitch is owned by Amazon. Why the fuck would Google have youtube streaming and compete with itself?
Twitch has a problem of mods, who are incels thirsty for titty streamers and will ban at any notice if they don't like you, they said they're fixing that so who knows. But the service itself works fine, and better than youtube for sure. I had youtuber friends move to Twitch and find themselves much better.

Can't keep it on life support if you actually fix the problems, after all.

For some reason I have a feeling Youtube is trying to troll us with all this, but it's backfiring hard.

It's not trolling if they truly, honestly believe all the shit-stirring that is the "pay gap" rabbit hole topic makes a difference, and doesn't poison the well in a workplace environment.

But that was a time when "toxic" actually had meaning so it could be different now...

EDIT: My needless TL;DR documentary removed.

Wow Youtube is the asshole I pictured them to be.

I’m really tired of these brand Twitter accounts to get all memeish. Initially it did have a good charm like Sonic’s Twitter page but now seeing more and more pop up like this it has gone extremely stale.

With that being said, I’m not surprised YouTube is promoting about female wage gap because they did bring awareness about refugees and LGBT before but even then, at least these take some effort but this tweet takes close to zero effort, and replies proved that further.
