Many reasons. First of all, it is a low quality service. It is loaded up with soooo much advertising, and the mother company is coming up with lots of crazy ideas (like DRMing layer 7 protocols) in order to make you eat even more advertisements. Think of deals like forcing you to use web browsers without ad-blocking capabilities in order to visit their sites and then strongarming other webservices to do the same. Unlikely to succeed, but using the service gives them power, and that is to be avoided.

Then there is also the fact that auto-moderation sucks and that they are removing any content that does not feel happy-flower enough for them. Many Spanish channels that docummented stuff like industrial security got canned because apparently if you talk about bad stuff such as "amputations" and "dismemberments" or whatever your videos get auto-canceled.

I think none of the crap above should be normalized.
