*...However the movie itself looks like it's gonna be pure garbage! Hollywood and video game adaptations have never seen eye to eye in the past. For me, the closet they ever came to anything half decent was the original "Mortal Kombat" way back in 1995. Taking cultural icons and trashing on them in every respect possible, seems the general formula for this particular genre. Although this time around, things take an altogether different turn.*

YouTubers are having a field day tearing this potential piece of celluloid trash to shreds and from what I've read so far, the overwhelming majority of the public think the same. The biggest problem being the way they've modeled **Sonic** himself. The overhaul in character design has him looking more "human" instead of his familiar anime cartoonish aesthetic, however the end result is a total abomination straight out of hell itself. Click on this [link](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvvZaBf9QQI) and see for yourself. Don't say I didn't warn you though!. But I'm used to it. After years of this kind of abuse from the video game genre, I'm kinda desensitized to anything they throw my way. No, the real meat-and-bones of this story is **YouTube's** reaction to the trailer.

During the two and a half minute's worth of footage, **Coolio's** famous track "Gangsta's Paradise" plays as an accompanying background score. However, several unfortunate YouTubers have found out the hard way that if their reaction video features the music too, they will be flagged and demonetized with immediate effect. Not only that but everything the video made will be, in effect, passed straight on to the dread-locked star. Crazy, right? This is just another in a long list of examples where **YouTube's** system of centralization and censorship look to screw over the content creator. Therefore, it makes perfect sense to see these individuals, over time, look for alternate means of publishing their content. And hey presto, crypto-based platforms which serve the same purpose, albeit without the shadowy control of some invisible autocratic dictator, look to be the ultimate solution.    

Now, of course the technology social media Dapps currently offer can't compare to the perfection of what the likes of **YouTube** have to offer, but there are other factors at play. Piss off your community long enough and they'll "actively" start moving away and support the growth and development of rival platforms, regardless of how much work needs to be done on them. Their working environment must be empowering and enabling, which is what **YouTube** lacks and crypto-based solutions welcome. And the shift doesn't seem too far away either. There could well be a mass exodus on it's way as I doubt very much **YouTube** will bow to peer pressure and change policy. After all, it's a fundamental aspect intertwined within the very core of their business model. 

*So, let's see where this is all going as more and more big profile YouTubers continue to get disillusioned with the platform and eventually start looking for the exit. Thanks **Sonic**, you're doing us proud. How ironic, too, that the game itself is based around the collection of floating digital coins.*
