What, in your opinion, should the rules be for YouTube Reviews?
Does this have anything to do with safe spaces?  Or with the demise of the Jerry Springer show? Safe spaces are real . Jerry Springer is entertainment. I was speaking of reality.. Safe spaces have always existed but were limited to children due...
