This week Youtube announce a brand new feature called Youtube Heroes. Where everyday people can basically become some sort of Youtube Moderator by flagging videos they find offensive and earning points in this process eventually leading to certain levels and more benefits once you achieve higher levels and become a "hero".

I rarely saw a Youtube video having such HUGE disapproval ratings. I mean just have a look at how many thumbs down this video got!
I also disapprove when it comes to this feature because it gives random people even more moderating power on youtube and even if you follow the Youtube Guidelines to the point, if enough people get somehow "offended" and flag your video it can be taken down or have its earning status removed.
I've seen this stuff already happening to some of my favorite YouTubers, channels with 500k subscribers had their videos taken down because of a very insignificant minority who got offended, even though no hard language or hate speech was used and basically the whole video was just a guys talking to a camera speaking.
What do you think about this new feature called Youtube Heroes?
Do you agree with YouTube's recent policies?

Yes I am sure lots of people will use this feature well but what about all the trolls? I have had plenty of trolls on my Youtube channel. I can only imagine how bad it will become if people like that have the power to get my content removed, I would be really upset.
I just hope that this feature gets used in they way it has been intended and not in all the nasty ways it could possibly turn out. I sure hope that Youtube have taken that into consideration! And we hail all assholes and all online trolls as heroes? OMG no! Yes I am sure lots of people will use this feature well but what about all the trolls?
