Channel Awesome and the Nostalgia Critic aren't exactly small. I think he's larger than AVGN at this point.

I've heard some rumors that YouTube has been trying to play ball with Hollywood and actual film producers lately, and dropping quality of service for smaller content creators as those talks continue.

No idea of the veracity of those claims.
