You are responsible for your own actions.
If I owned a store and someone walked in and shot one of my customers, how am I responsible if that person shot my guard on duty?

Youtube can only be responsible for what it is aware of. The person ultimately responsible is the one who caused the act. Many more people saw the video but didn't kill anyone. If it were truly the act of the video, you'd have mass genocide in Finland but you don't.

Stop blaming the easy target and blame the person who did it. If it weren't this video, I'm sure a book or other picture would be to blame in the public's eye. The true fault lies in the person who committed the act and that's all.

This person would've done it regardless of whether they saw it on the internet, TV, or movie. If they copied a style from what they saw, you can't blame the artist for that. If this person can't determine the difference between truth and fiction, then we should show him numerous videos of suicide so that he gets the picture and kills himself. If he's still alive after watching 24 hours of it, then he's just using the videos as an excuse.
