  • The people use to have a voice, now we don't.... Corporations try hard to keep us entertained in order for us to lie down and roll over.

    A good idea would be the first ever conceived;

    (web graffiti)

    This is like Banksy but on webpages instead of streets, and hackers instead of ladders. Obviously I'm not a hacker. But to all those who are..... Now is your chance to shine. =D

  • watch my valentines video! ^_^

  • 3 Qs.

    what's a votebot?

    is there a petition to lift the friend invitation limitation.

    and is there any petition on lifting or against the limitation of video sharing (about a year ago, youtube decided to limit your video sharing to only the first 100 on either your 'friends' or 'contacts' list, infact... i think it's actually been bumped down again now, to the first 25, though it's been a while since i checked, this is sandalous.)

    rip YOUtube, fuck you googletube.

  • @Constavlos

    erm... "scandalous" sorry.

  • Have you seen youtube's response to the first one? It basically outlines the situation as it is as if that's good enough.

  • I gave it 4 *'s 'cause that what I think it's worth.

    What votebot gives 4 stars?

  • that's a bad thing?

    decidely, some people deserve the privilege of being arrogant twats... these people are typically referred to as "correct".

  • It's debatable that's it correct.

  • @sparrow111260 SUCK IT.

  • Suck yourself you idiot.

  • "Content owners who file copyright infringement notifications under the DMCA do so under penalty of perjury. When we receive a DMCA notification, we remove the posted video, send email to your registered address, and provide notice in your account. Sometimes individuals abuse the process, or are simply mistaken, because determining copyright ownership can be tricky. If you believe your content was misidentified as infringing or is a fair use, you may file a DMCA counter-notification."

  • ^ that was youtube's response to any and all DMCA related suggestions. Youtube totally wussed out, copy pasted the same message as a reply to all suggestions related to DMCA abuse. BRAAACK BRAAACK! Too chicken to do the right thing.

  • Done

  • done and done

  • voted

  • Now they can argue that the poll results are not representative because you encouraged people to vote up your ideas... so in the end they are ideas of AndromedasWake's subscribers rather than those of YouTube's user population at large... so ignore them, and work on the next few highest rated ones on which AW had no influence.

  • AW subscribers are still 20K large

    plus you'll get additional hits from non-subscribers voting

    just because they're his subscribers doesn't mean they are his puppets, and i doubt anyone's going to create a google account if they don't feel strongly about the topic anyways

  • What I mean is that, paradoxically, having TOO many people vote up this issue may be self-defeating. Whether the voters in fact "puppets" or genuinely interested people is moot, so long as YouTube can reasonly claim that the former is true.

  • true... they don't need a GOOD reason, just A reason...

  • voted

  • voted

  • Voted!

  • All four are on the first page of the 'hot ideas' and three are on the first page of 'top ideas'. Good luck with this.

  • 4/10 ideas on the front page sorting by "Most Popular" include DMCA. Nice!

  • Thank you for notifying us about it.

    I like that at present there are 1700 for the system to curb votebots and 3 against... makes me wonder who they are...

  • A Waking Moment

  • Getting a Google account seemed a little more involved than setting up a YT channel, so I suspect it will be harder to votebot the ideas about votebotting. In a way, it's a shame, as it would be amusingly ironic if thousands of votes were suddenly cast in a lump against the anti-votebotting ideas.

  • Voted on ALL of these. and thank you so much for letting us know.

  • Voted!

    Good work, hope it helps!

  • Done and done. Good luck.

  • Voted. Fingers crossed.

  • Voted <:-[]

  • Important video - voted and featured this vid on my page.

  • voted.

    good work, and thanks.

  • voted!

    good luck

  • Voted. Go go go !

  • votebotting seems an incredibly sad and pathetic endevour, but its worse here where it hasnt made any difference anyway. give up already botters XD

  • You guys are awesome, why would anyone put themselves through the trouble to low rate you guys so much?

  • I voted! for yours and like 10 others that have to do with DMCA :)

  • Voted for each.

  • Voted :-)

  • Some bastards are actually voting no to them....

  • just voted, I hope this works

  • OK I voted and i hope it goes through!

  • Comment removed

  • This is a really great idea IF you have / want a google account.

    For those of us that do not have google accounts and do not want one.

    "How can we get you tubes attention on this subject apart from rating video's like this one?"

    Any help would be appreciated thanks.

  • Done.

  • I wonder what happens if they use votebots to sway the votes?

  • There appear to be a lot of similar ideas posted on the Ideas page by others besides Andromeda. Don't forget to vote 'yes' to these, too, if you agree! We need to make our voice as loud as possible.

  • Voted...thx for the link AW.

  • After you vote for AWs ideas, click 'All Ideas' on the left. There are plenty of suggestions regarding DMCA and flagging, lets get them all to the top =)

  • Voted. Now, let's see if the "YouTube team" is actually going to do anything to fix these problems. I remain skeptical.

  • hmmm... why am I not surprised that this isn't playing for me? 0_o

    Ah well. I voted anyway.

  • Voted, also there are similar submitted ideas on that page, so I went ahead and voted for them too.

    Amazing how there are people who voted "don't like this idea". Maybe aa vote-bot attack is on the horizon...

  • Support *****

  • done.

  • There is apparently no way to reach youtube`s management or staff through the channels set up for the purpose. The only other way is to get a headline in one of the big news outlets.

    The only way to get a headline in the news is to create a scandal like. Devoted Christian Youtuber driven off the site and silenced by an atheist mob in spite of filing hundreds of false DMCA´s and running a 7/11 votebot.

  • Surprise, surprise, this video is "not working". Thankfully there are some mirrors posted as video responses ;) Will check one of them out instead.

  • Add &fmt=18 to the URL, must be a problem with youtube converting...

  • If you are going to vote, please also click on the "Next 10" button and continue voting Yes on all False DMCA subject matter.

  • Ok, voted!

  • Well I just voted.

  • You know what, I am fucking calling CNN, FOX, NBC, HLN and CBS, and telling this about the situation on youtube. I don't know if it will work, but its work a shot. Maybe if enough of us do that, it might do something.

  • My gosh, they desperately need to fix that "product user" voting system too!!!! Typical GooTube incompetence!

  • video won't load...

  • done!

  • These vote botters are some of the saddest losers on the planet. Their ISPs should be contacted and they should be banned from using the Internet.

  • Has anyone noticed the "flag as inappropriate" option for the polls? Google has fucking exploits everywhere!

  • xD your 4 ideas are the top 4 hottest so far

    the most popular idea is "Tighten up control over the whole DMCA system. As it is now, numerous false DMCA claims are constantly being filed, and this needs to be stopped."

  • I voted.

  • good plan i voted yes

  • its not only these creationists but corporations taking down videos just b/c someone might put a clip of something or cover a song on a youtube video.

  • voted

  • Voted.

  • voted, but losing hope that Google care enough about any of this to actually do something, see: Nexus One 3G tech support, which should also be a high priority for them but isn't.

  • done

  • Hey I just want to say that don't just only vote for DMCA stuff. I know it is the most important issue, but you should vote for other things to, like giving non-partnered users the ability to upload a video longer than 10 minutes!

  • You know, faced with clear evidence that their site has been hacked by people using votebots, you'd think that YouTube might be concerned.

  • Pfft, they have their super handicapable stars like Fred that they're concerned with helping bring them in a little profit.

  • "Security on the hole"

    lol

  • Voted all of them.

  • Voted

  • Did my bit. Thanks for the mention.

  • voted! :P as always TK, you have my support

  • done!

    Greats from germany

    Oli

  • What are DMCA's?

  • Its a modern version of that village people song YMCA

  • @edblaster2000 "Digital Milennium Copyright Act" It's a set of rules that shall protect the intellectual, work of others.

    Videos, games, photos,music etc.

    But it's legal to use clips from the works, if you want to make a revue, or a critique of it.

    Some airheads thinks the DMCA applies to ANYthing in a video they have posted on u-tube.

    It doesn't. U can use part of the video, to critisize it, and to show others what u are talking about. It's illegal however to use it to fabricate a lie.

  • Vote for all of them.  Hopefully youtube will become the forum we all wish it was.

  • done.

  • Clear Skies to you to. Done...!

  • Done

  • Sigh. I'm sorry to say, I don't really feel that anything we say or do will affect the DMCA system of YouTube. If anything, it will get worse in several weeks. Google has been sued my huge companies because they believe Google's fair use policy is too lax, Google will settle the deal for several millions of dollars. On top of that... YouTube has produces absolutely no revenue for Google, in fact it consistently incurs losses. If push comes to shove, they may just close YouTube.

  • Nah they will charge a fee to use it, surprised they haven't already.

  • Done

  • You got my votes...as said earlier...hope it helps, peace be with.. :)

  • Done.

  • Done.

  • Done.

  • Even if your ideas don't make the top of the list Nathan (jimmyRRpage) and TheSilentNumber have already submitted this and have received 4557 and 2828 positive votes respectively (so far).

    Among the top 10 most popular ideas DMCA abuse is mentioned 3 times within top 10 and hold submission spots 1 and 2.

  • Voted for all four of them, and now start hoping these reforms will finally take place!

  • voted for all of them

    hope it will help

  • Aww, I blushed when I saw this. Many thanks for the shout-out.

  • voted, hope this makes and impact. Youtube has the potential to be a tremendous source of information, but only if free speech and free inquiry are protected.

  • Done.

  • I'm sure that a lot of these problems with YouTube could be fixed quite easily, but I think the DMCA issue is more a problem with the law than YouTube's systems. They have to be careful to keep their 'safe harbour' status. A change in the law would be difficult to come by.

  • Done.

  • voted for the 4 of them!

    hope this helps

  • Got my votes. Glad to see people finding more places to voice complaints and leave suggestions. Hopefully *someone* will get the message over there.

  • Yup. CiphersSon thought of this one a few days back. It's a great idea, especially now all the HTML5 issues have been taken off and we're allowed to push our issues to the top. Happy days. Another baby step in the right direction.

  • Voted! Hope it helps! Great Vid 5 Stars

  • done :)

  • I don't know how far this will get. Google has shown that they're willing to throw free speech and privacy out the window, as evidenced in their dealings with China.

  • What?! Google is pulling out of China because China won't allow free speech or privacy.

  • They are? My apologies then. (Just googled this, and you are correct. I'm surprised I don't remember this - it would've been something I paid attention to.)

  • With such blatant votebotting, why not counter-bot your own videos? It's hardly unethical to do so when you know just about the exact number of automated downvotes you received.

  • well the problem is that if he had 500 votes before the bot attack where the staning is 5 stars or 4-5 and he then resive 300 1 star ratings, and he just counter vote 300 5 stars, then it won't bring him back to the 5 star rating he had before... so he have to give him self a higher number of 5 star votes than he resived in 1 star votes to come back to the old standing he ones had, it dossent ad up.

  • Right. But then I maintan my point - even creating more fake votes to counteract the negatives is still not unethical in this case, no more than hunting down five crooks with 100 police is.

  • AW, your leading idea is on Page 9. I'll be watching it closely to watch it soar as this video hits more of your subscribers.

  • Consider it done.

  • Done!

  • Done. hope they take notice.

  • Done! Here's hoping...

  • Done. Hope it works.

  • Great job!

  • Full support. Job done.

  • hmm when I try to post something, it just says my idea is similar to others. I've voted up all of your ideas and I suggest everyone do the same.

  • i'll forward this to others too.

    Thanks for the effort.

  • Sweet! done done done and done on a hole bunch other ones :-)

  • did did and did

  • All ticked. May we have fair winds, too.

  • Done. Fingers crossed

  • RIGHT ON.

  • Done, and Done. :)

  • Consider it done.

  • Voted. I hope Google listens and does reform their system.

  • Hopefully, these efforts will help Google realise that the current situation is unacceptable

  • Don't worry we will vote you back up :<

  • It's terrible AW, but I suppose there's not much we can do unless Google goes along with it lol.

    Everyone go to the polls!

  • Comment removed
