When YouTube started notifying users of updates to its terms and conditions, many probably clicked "Accept" without giving it a second thought.

But over the weekend, article after article (and video after video) has been released highlighting YouTube's "new" power to terminate services based on something being "commercially viable".

But there's more to the story.

Join us as we take a deep dive into terms of service both new and old, and discuss why YouTube isn't really claiming new power - just being (a bit) more honest about the power it already holds.

We're ALWAYS Commercially Viable...in Virtual Legality.

When Epic Games banned popular FaZe Clan member Jarvis "Jarvis" Kaye from playing Fortnite for life, the news hit major media outlets including CNN and ESPN.

But where the story would really turn was when streaming superstar Tyler “Ninja” Blevins spoke up about why he thought the reasons for the ban were unwarranted.

Uh oh, it's llama trauma...in Virtual Legality.
