Seems dubious at best that they removed it from but didn't from 3rd party players. I know he said that would bring more scrutiny, but if there was actually some bigoted reason for removing it, they would have pulled it from all providers....It's still their content and removing it from Hulu would be no more of a dick move than removing it from their own site. As he said, there are any number of reasons why it could have been pulled from their site (not banned since you can obviously see it elswhere) but it does not bode well that it just so happened to be THIS particular episode.
I find it slightly irresponsible on this Youtuber's part to create this level of drama without any facts to back it up other than heresay but I also understand the dog eat dog YT world in clamoring for views. I was actually not susicious at all UNTIL he made a point to bring up how this video was not monetized.......It kinda felt like "Look guys, pay attention to the lack of ads on this video". It would be equally upsetting if he was creating controversey to get traffic.
