Some stuff is definitely going on with the algorithm. Over the past few months a few of my videos have been getting tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of views from "Browse Features", compared to an average of a few thousand views normally, and when I haven't even uploaded a video for months. I wonder if they're trying to redistribute views away from those so-called blacklisted channels and towards everywhere else.

Youtube's been putting ancient videos in my recommended list that I've already watched and even liked months ago. I don't know what's up with their algorithms.
This is a great opportunity for real competition to rise but I guess it's easier said than done. Someone with money and skill ought to give it a shot with a big PR campaign, but it gotta be good.
As far as gaming media goes, a competitor already has arisen and it's called twitch. I've been seeing a mass migration of people from YouTube to twitch because it's actually a consistent source of income and allows interaction
Ending it with Me At The Zoo made me really sad.

Problem with Twitch is you need a good upload speed to stream and that prevents a lot of people from participating.
For example, it takes me about 2 hours to upload 8 minutes of footage to Youtube in 720p with an under 1 mbps upstream, I technically can stream video with this connection but it's got to be in 480p or 360p at best. Shit sucks man.

YouTube gaming carries on the whole community standards and strike shit so if you play copyrighted music enough times they'll eventually sink your account which is near impossible to do while playing video games esp if your livestreaming gta v or even doing music request
at least twitch mutes it on VOD if detected and doesn't shut down the show during live broadcast unlike YTG

I still remember his comment: "What the fuck?! Why do I need a Google+ account to make comments?!?!?"
I like the first ever video uploaded on youtube at the end.

Twitch will eventually get there. It just takes time for the music industry to realize it's an "issue" and put pressure on Amazon.

they did pressure amazon and that's why VOD muting came into effect but twitch would only remind streamers that their stream has commercial audio and it would be muted in VOD if they didn't disable it in x amount of time

Didn't VOD muting come before Twitch was bought out?
