The current CEO of YouTube, Susan Wojcicki has come under fire as lots of people want her out from the streaming service.
Angry online petitioners who were fed up with some of Susan’s policies stomped the popular petition website, Change.org, to put in their signatures.
However, a 300,000 signature benchmark for Wojcicki was set by the petitioners. It has received over 220,000 signatories as of December 26, 2021.
The official petition presented by Spencer Karter said:
“Susan Wojcicki has been the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of YouTube, a subsidiary of Google, since February 2014. Things began to deteriorate under her leadership, causing the reputation of YouTube and Google to suffer from the copyright controversy to the 2016 controversial YouTube PR nightmare known as The Ad-Friendly Monetization Policy, which was severely criticised by various YouTubers who claimed that the new rules censored and silenced YouTubers’ freedom of speech and platforms by demonetizing YouTube videos that dealt with controversial subjects (such as tragedies, natural disasters, and political controversies).
The existing Ad-Friendly Monetization Policy continues to be unfavourable to YouTubers. We also want that policy to be repealed or modified in a positive way. One of the few reasons YouTube went poorly was the contentious Ad-Friendly Policy.
The PR nightmare must be fixed, and YouTube and Google must move in the right direction by enforcing common-sense rules such as a No Tolerance Policy on YouTube Trolls, False Flagging, and censoring music, similar to how Internet Vigilantes such as UMG MK are conducting a witch hunt to remove YouTube videos of songs by The Beatles. We urge YouTube and Google to take the appropriate steps, such as dismissing YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki and making YouTube great again.”
