Ouch. Sorry OJ for silence and lack of interest. You should've gone for a front page pin on this, LOL. These laughable YT vids are usually not worthy of comment, however I sometimes find them a challenge to do some extra research and learn something new, which is why I'm here. We've seen so many of these vids claiming the moon's too bright, in the wrong place, flipped upside-down, etc.

First of all, you've got to realize that everyone but the blind can see the moon, including 100's of thousands (if not millions) of well-equipped amateur astronomers. If anything dramatic or anomalous was happening it would be obvious to all observers and impossible for NASA to 'cover-it-up' even if they wanted to.

Secondly, if you get a good astronomical calendar (I Heartily recommend Guy Ottwell's) you can get a good grasp of the moon's apparent movement and phase illumination from different latitudes on Earth. Yes, just like the sun and the stars, the moon looks different to observers in different parts of our globe.
Recently (last week) we had a close conjunction of the Moon, Venus and Spica. If you look closely at these pics, you will notice that the tilt of the crescent moon looks radically different in Brazil compared to Canada. In fact, South America got to see an rare occultation of Venus while Northern Hemisphere viewers did not. These events are known and forecast years in advance (almost to the exact second!); if the moon or the Earth moved or tilted unexpectedly everyone would know it and you wouldn't have to watch youTube find out.
