I got several months behind on watching stuff on Channel Awesome and have just started getting caught up in the past day or so (the Nostalgia Critic/Doug Walker bits of the site, anyway). As stated in the above video itself, that is from the end of the Nostalgia Critic review of "Inspector Gadget Saves Christmas." And yes, he actually got Cree ( Read more... )

(EDIT) Or, rather, it's not a new policy, but just one that finally hit a Youtuber with a big enough following to raise a bigger stink about it. Which means that lots of "little guy" Youtubers have most assuredly been having to deal with this shit for a while now. See also, #WTFU. (/EDIT)
