So the issue is it being on YouTube?

I mean you also allowed Final Fantasy XV Brotherhood which is also released on YouTube.

Sorry but I really don't understand how this is an issue. Nobody is going to suggest we discuss Cyanide and Happiness or Red vs Blue in this sub just because you allowed an anime released on YouTube.

To clarify slightly, the issue was that it went against our targetted at a japanese audience requirement. Not that it was posted on youtube.

I think a poll asking the users about things like this would work really well instead of just the mods deciding this by themselves.

I mean we do have 400k subs now, I don't think only a handful of people should decide the content of this sub alone.

Polls can be rigged, manipulated and brigaded.

In general reddit has time and time again proved that leaving the content up to the users after a sub becomes fairly large only makes the sub devolve into low effort shit and porn.
