I agree that is valid, but it's also quite harsh. Who are you
referring to by the 'your' in 'your music sucks real bad' ?

Giorgio is running a commercial studio. It is supposed to
provide his income (and maybe some money to be returned to
investors). It's not his music. He's done the engineering
and has, IMHO, done a good job. Even if the music is crap,
and I agree it is, he can be proud of what he has done.

I agree. Youtube is not anyone's private marketing channel.
If someone can't stand criticism he/she should just keep out.

If that turns out to be true (and it wouldn'd surprise me) that
does confirm what has been obvious for a long time: the so-called
'social' media are dominated by US 'social' standards. Just read
the User Agreements of Google, Facebook, Twitter or whatever. And
US standards mean that you may be free, but you have to 'conform'.

I agree 100%, but I'm well aware that many won't.
