The Small Fish and the Big Fish here on YT is a *very* big issue--I sense you're going to address it with your usual intelligence. You seem to have snuck your way into talking about it in a way I wish I knew how to...I'm currently trying to think about all of these issues myself, but of course, my hamfisted way of examining them is what I've called "vlogging practice".
Of course, maybe I can be just as crafty as you...
The points you make in this video are so spot-on about the polarity and groupthink here.
Kneejerk mode is really easy. Waiting for a bit and evaluating what's been said and maybe even thinking for yourself takes too long. It's just so much easier to be told what to think by some one who is charismatic and persuasive
'Popular' users often use this tactics: Find someone who is weak and (if you're lucky) inarticulate and sic the mob on them. Works every time. Great way to entertain the masses :(
My experience is that discussions eventually always come to three places. They come to either "We simply just don't know", "Can't prove or disprove it", or "Let's agree to disagree, everything is relative anyway." I'm actually scared of the world that's coming, when all people do is agree to disagree. I'm scared more that the 'bigger fish' who have eons more productiveness and 'clout' if you will, happen to be people like Shane Dawson. Don't believe I need to go much further with that statement.
It is unfortunately common practice to polarise, thereby locking those involved in a self perpetuating immobility. Good luck with achieving a shift in that. I've worked hard for years here to change that as a mindset here for years. Changes have been made, but incredibly slowly. It appears to be highly addictive and seductive to many.
Are the silly dramas the price we pay for having an open forum so large and diverse? What's your opinion of other websites, like BlogTV, in regards to diversity versus drama?
This video got you a sub.

This video is very timely for me...I've kindly disagreed with a members point of view with a sad outcome.
