What's going on with YouTube?

Are they just giving in to all the whiners and complainers? Did they move their headquarters to China?

I ask because I just went there, and find that my account has been "permanently disabled" after a year or so of collecting favorites and friends. Not a single violation notice, not even a termination notice, so I haven't a clue why it was closed. The only two clips I had online were G-rated amateur clips that have been there for at least six months. I can only assume that someone didn't like my favorites, or disagreed with a comment I left (had to be months ago), and decided to target my account. If all the major players in the internet community, even the blog servers, have become obsessed with censorship of free expression, pandering to the complainers, and caving in whenever they get a letter from an attorney, what's to become of the Internet?

(Heck, I'll probably get censured for asking this question)

Update:

Thanks for the LiveLeak link! Great content.

Seems like whenever a site is bought out by one of the corporate giants, as with YouTube, they start pandering to the least common denominator and forget about that which made them popular in the first place.
