    Susanne Daniels was a waste of money. All the shows she brought in we’re failures

    I see in her eyes genetical connection to Susan Wojcicki, the mother of Google.
    Current mode of YouTube is disrespectful to music and musicians and Google’s natural greed.
    YouTube as a central hub of discovery based $100B+ music industry can double Google and bring overdue new life to music. Let’s convert Radio and streaming to simple discovery based music store!
