It’s sad really. I mean seriously, their video site fails and rather than doing what any smaller company would have done, basically opening discussions on why it failed and how to improve, they just go and buy out the highest traffic video viewing site.

So instead of working on how to correct the problem, they rid themselves of a competing site that was actually working. Anyone with enough sense would have become a partner with such a site, effectively locking you into the ongoing success of such a place AND giving you full rights to notice what you needed work on. Youtube needed resources at that time and would have jumped at the chance.

Now people have had it with google’s management and are jumping ship. Each year the site suffers more and more, but it’s as if they think they got enough companies involved in youtube in some way that they are safe.

Well news flash! Didn’t their failed video site have companies too? And wait.. isn’t it the viewers AND the site staff together that make a site what it is? Hard to build a service for people who aren’t around anymore isn’t it?

If other companies and the bottom line mattered as much as they seem to think, why did they have to buy out the old youtube, who despite not having those companies, (heck they pissed em off sometimes!) was having more success? People used to feel that youtube stood up for them.

And that’s another news flash! A company isn’t alive. It’s the people in it that are. A company is a group; that’s all. When they go home at night, they become the very users google is pissing off.

This is bad bisness sense all around. In a down economy where are people turning for relief? Online viewing and communities. And with how big youtube is, google is displaying their failures and lack of caring to the whole world. Morons.

After seeing how they handled youtube, I actually find myself second guessing many of their other products too. The only reason I still use youtube is the availability of it, and the mass volume of content, but I can not take much more.. they have skipped out on way to many basic features other sites had, and that youtube used to have.

I am now in the process of removing the content I like from there and leaving YT to rot. What a shame.. it had so much more potential left. I thought it was going to revolutionize online viewing till google came into the picture.

it also sucks because there’s so much bollywood crap on it

half the crap of YT consists a freaky guy talking in front of his high-quality camera trying to be funny

thumbs up xd

I want to know why Youtube spends all it’s damn time removing copyrighted information, and getting ad deals, when there are blatantly bigoted people on the site, spewing every racial slur imaginable, who never get banned.

Yeah the wierdest thing is that you can’t find ANY porn on youtube “because it might be offensive” but yet you can find videos of execution and stuff like that down with youshi*
also that graph describes youtube 100%.

i just hate the “google/youtube” account
when i was trying to make a new account (deleted last one due to an ex-bf) it said i had to get a google account!!!
what!?!!
now whenever i try to sign in, my username AND google e-mail account DONT WORK on BOTH SITES
its only luck and multiple tries that sign me in finally

I deleted my posted videos and account on Youtube, because I was sick of putting up with those stupid copyright disclaimers. I have videos that were allowed on Youtube for a long time, but then when I make new ones that have the same audio or visual content of the allowed ones, they block in every country on the planet. Why do they do this? I used to make great videos as a hobby. Now all I have is my original videos to remind me how great I was at a hobby I no longer can do, since Youtube won't let me share my videos.
