Recently on February 10, 2008, YouTube is attempting to silence Chris Crocker's account by removing him from the most subscribed list even though he should be #10 for having over 92,000 subscibers. Crocker's video entitled "Gay HATE on YouTube" was posted on February 8 quickly rose to #1 most viewed daily having over 700,000 views. YouTube has removed him from the most viewed daily list, from #1 to nothing. Crocker claims that YouTube does not support him, and did not want him garnering more attention, first being his "Leave Britney Alone!" video.
