  • wats a bulliten?

  • O_O u dont remember bulletins mm?

  • You're talking very fast, and listening to you gets me out of breath!

  • I miss the bulletins box! I was going to use it to send out Christmas greetings!

  • Man, I really enjoy your rants, John.

    I myself never liked the Bulletins box so I simply removed it from my own personal homepage here on Youtube...whats wrong with leaving well enough alone? For the people that didn't like the bulletins, we could just remove them...but to simply get rid of bulletins altogether is UNFAIR to those who DO like them and use them.

    This site is going to shit...not the community but just the site itself. Its being ran by morons!

  • Something definitely sucks in the decision making here. If they could get rid of the community they would. It seems they really want this to be all about companies promoting themselves. This ain't 2006 anymore and they are pushing us down further every day.

  • Yea that all sucks the people on YT are all drunk or they don't have brains when they removed bulletins yt become ordinary lowbudget page and now his reputation will fall drasticaly !

  • People need to rally together and get all their privileges back. They treat us like we have been bad little children and they took priviledges away. What the fuck is up with that. I wish there was a default button we could all push to put it back to the way it was when we first signed up for this godforaken site. GO JOHN!!

  • I would love to have a default button there ready and waiting. Thanks Cherylann!

  • I couldnt agree with you more John. I think its fuckin assinine that they took the bulletin box away, I like you relied on that to get updates from my friends and to watch budding musicians new videos. Now unless I seach forever I wont know who what when or where if that makes any sense. And as for the sharing of videos, they fucked that one up real good too, only letting you send out to 100 friends. YOUTUBE SUCKS NOW!!!!

  • great vid totally agree

  • Umm. Don't shoot me but I deleted the bulletin box a year ago. I've always used the Subscriptions feature. And I automatically delete all shared videos. AND I automatically reject friend requests. (My channel description explains, so I won't bore you with why.) But I didn't know about the pay to be featured crap. Now THAT is typical Google! and I just watched one of Victor's vids about profanity being banned?

  • Very well made arguament. I'm still in shock that its really gone... and I've noticed I feel much less eager to go on YouTube now.. and its sad because i really loved it and it was growing on me. I began to like YouTube better than Facebook every day and now they go and do this...

  • Couldn't agree more.

  • Absolutely spot on there John, at least the bulletins gave you the choice of watching or not. I certainly wasn't consulted over this retrogade step either.

  • oMFG!!! ur awesome... tell it like it is... i'm so subscribing to you!!!

  • I agree with you. I was pretty surprised and disappointed when they removed the bulletin box. Great video = )

  • Thanks Paul :) It was one in a series of moves that further tries to push the average vlogger into obscurity. Hope you're well.

  • By the way, I don't know if God ever loved my bulletins. I had to remove him from my friends list cos he kept spamming my bulletin box with calls to join Atheist v Christianity debates!

    He never even subscribed to me!

  • Aww John! LoL ..sorry I shouldn't laugh.

    I agree with everything u've said tho. YouTube changes are stupid lately.

    Hope u've been well otherwise.

  • Hey you!

    You think I was mad enough? lol ... It's so great to see your comments again Nayomee :)

  • Exactly! You have verbalized everything that was wrong with this decision.

    Don't you love it when companies try to word their decisions as if they were done in our best interest?

    Well, I'd post this video in a bulletin, but...

    grrrrrr!

  • There is the Recent Activity box which says to post bulletin? Maybe they have half finnished it and the bulletin will come back to the page.

  • Unfortunately, the way that works now is that it will post an "announcement" on your own page but it won't reach any of your friends. Pretty pointless as most people don't have much traffic on their main channel page.

  • Well said John!

  • the blog says: "now you can broadcast a bulletin directly to your channel visitors in your Recent Activity box"

    Well, you could already do that by changing you channel description. The whole point of bulletins is to broadcast to other peoples pages. I didn't use it much, but I hope they bring it back in some form or another.

  • I hope so too Zack. Thanks for being here :)

  • ha, a blurp nota bleep nor a Bulletin. I will make a better attempt to read the YT blog.

  • o man when i found that activity bull i was like wtf wtf o no o no why o why. really WHY!?!

  • I have dont used the bulletins I find it more of a pain in the butt. But I do use my subscriptions and find it much easier to keep up with...MIKMA WAS HERE

  • Yeah I understand buddy, pain in the butt for some, but thing is they didn't really have a need to get rid of them altogether.

  • BRAVA!!

    I agree, the friending and shared video features on this site each blow giant monkey farts.

    Removing the bulletins was a mistake because, like you said, some people actually did use those. As for me, I opted out of displaying it almost a year ago.

    Ps. are you gonna share that pot of coffee or hog it all to yourself?

    8-)

  • If PrincessDiana saw that comment from you she'd freak! That was Chambord and she surprised me by actually noticing it lol

  • 100% Agree with you, I called YouTube about the problem three times (since I believe they dont even read their blog) & they said the mailbox is full. Hopefully that could mean complaints about the feature

  • I left this comment on the YT blog,

    "There was NO NEED at all to get rid of bulletins, the bulletins box was a good feature for communication on the website, it was a help to community. And if anyone abused the bulletins facility we could always remove them from our friends list-or if any of us found the bulletins annoying full stop we could just remove the bulletins box from our page. "

  • "Taking that away and giving us this facebook cloned latest activity bullshit is ANTI-community and very restricting. TRY ADDING AN ARTS AND POETRY CATEGORY! These changes are not at all community minded, nor are they a result of actually listening to the users of the site. Stop being so bloody condescending and patronising trying to tell us that is what's behind this change. Bullshit."

  • This is fucking awesome!

  • totally agree

    with this last update it turned everything into a jumbled mess

    i never had bulletins enabled, but i never saw any harm in them

  • holy crap I don't even want to click that link! I haven't cleared $5 yet in my earnings in the partner program so I wonder if they'll work with my financial situation? LOL

  • Love It !!

  • I need your bulletins. I'm going to slice my pumpkin live on BlogTV if they don't bring them back.

  • It's a shame YT couldn't think to give us the choice. I wonder just what community they listen to for these "great" ideas.

  • For that matter, what ever happened to the "community" council?

  • oh, yes, I forgot there was one.... I wonder why....

  • I totally agree with you..Removing the Bulletin box is bullshit!

    Rocket

  • $5 dollars to pimp my videos you say... hmm well I have seen a recent downturn in comments/views... nah! why not just pay for a full page ad in a magazine!?! I think I'll just stick to posting for fun and if people watch then great, but I get the satisfaction from the creating

  • You know, A LOT of us have seen a downturn in comments/views. Makes me wonder if that isn't all part of some plan by YT to make us pay to be seen? Call me cynical, but how can my views be almost 1/2 less than they were a year ago with 3/4 less subs? It's a conspiracy!

  • Gary, I've always held the view that they see vloggers as a nuisance and would be more than glad to get rid of us while making sure that this site becomes the next "Television" with big name artists such as Oprah, Bono, etc.

    Pay to get promoted is just the first step in banishing us to obscurity.

    I 'love' how they have a 'wink' on the YouTube blog at the end of their heading "Broadcasting Ourselves". Yup, that's just what they are doing.

  • ;-)

  • yep it does seem odd to be getting less views/comments than 18 months ago but then again, I'm also watching/commenting less than I used to so perhaps that is now applying to others as well.

  • I have the same situation where I am commenting less. Even with more variety by virtue of more people and (in my case) better talent, it still seems the new arithmetic doesn't add up.

  • Part of Broadcast Yourself is....SENDING FUCKING BULLETINS! What the hell is wrong with youtube!? Eh, dammit!

  • Great fucking video!

  • Great video! What were they thinking?

  • Great rant John.

    I removed the bulletin box on my channel because of all the crap i kept getting in there. But, i do think it served a purpose for some people, so why remove it.

    I'm sure there are far more important issues that needed sorting than the bulletin box.

    As you say, one step forward, two steps back. It's always the same with YT i'm afraid & they never seem to learn from their mistakes either :)

  • I just realized that the bulletins were gone. What were they thinking? Like you said, if a user didn't want them, they could just turn them off or unfriend a spammer. Also, the share feature doesn't work. I have 3 pages of shared videos as old as 11/30. I delete them several times a day, but the same ones keep showing up...

  • It's a brilliant ploy by Hurley to destroy YouTube. He's got this Magic 8 Ball in a special room in YouTube corporate that he uses to determine the site's fate.

    I know it stinks man. YouTube has made some first class errors this week. But that's why I check my subscriptions religiously.

    I just started a program on my channel featuring lesser knows YouTubers, specifically because YouTube ignores them. So I totally understand.

    Later!

  • I'd like a category called- weather.

  • This last batch of changes seem to have nothing to do with community. I NEVER send people videos unless it's through an email outside of the YT PM system. When are they going to fix things like the PM system or for that matter, subscriptions that still don't always work?

    I'm amazed at how bad the comments are in the blog!! I feel like they keep pushing the user deeper and deeper away from our videos being seen.

  • All part of the plan to make us have to pay to be seen at all most likely! But why would we pay when we are not promoting any kind of business :(

    YT have really got me annoyed this time!

  • I couldn't believe that "Pay to Get Promoted" link. I haven't heard of that yet. That's completely disgusting. I think there's this false pretense that people are subscribing to (pun intended) that we can actually get rich or famous from posting videos on this silly website. Even somebody as "famous" as LisaNova on this website is a nobody off of the site! I'm surprised they still have a "You" in YouTube.

  • I hate that they just ignored all the calls for arts and poetry category.

    that video had plenty of views and tons of responses and they just ignored it.

  • dam straight. well said with great points. peace. gregg

  • Clearly computed, fast and so RIGHT! They listen to the community? PFFFT! I think you said it for all of us, i saw the YouTube Ad Pay video and just laughed the whole way thru it! Ridiculous and the latest add ons are as non=community as they come!

  • BRAVO!!  I was taking breaths for you, John...ha! Well said! 5 stars and fav'd! I wonder if YT will keep this vid off the front pages due to the language? It will be interesting to see...

    YT is completely corporate these days! We all know that knowledge is power and they are going to control all the information/knowledge they can while collecting as much data on us that they can get their hands on. So much for the "Do no harm" motto! Welcome to the machine...

  • Ooh all that profanity they're going to down grade your video in the ratings you know, that's if their algorithm can recognise the words at that speed. I need a rest now. I like the subs page to see who has a vid out but then I only have 119 subs so it's manageable. I removed the bulletin box from my channel 'cos it was filled with drivel. That was my choice, but I didn't vote it off for other people, YouTube move in mysterious ways? Cheers, Lesley

  • There's even problems with the shared video box - even if you delete items you have seen or have been sent to you numerous times - it comes back like a nightmare where info-glut becomes a problem - now with no bulletins - it will be harder than ever to catch other's videos - you are right, unfriending an abuser always solved the spam/bulletin issues.

  • Wow you really can talk fast!

    I just don't understand why YT is taking away most of our options.

    Hmmm, may I have some of that Chambord? Just a little, don't want to get tipsy so early in the day :)

  • You go man!

  • your exactly like me when i have too much coffee lol jodie xxx

  • Blimey - more words per kilobyte than even Andymooseman can manage and fewer breaths in between! Nice one John!

  • Also, I have just removed the box on my channel that used to show videos I had rated, now it was showing 'activity' right down to what I was looking at! (ie, samsarajade is watching a video' even though I have active sharing off) The new layout is a stalkers fucking paradise! It's ridiculous!

    NO THANKS YOUTUBE!

  • I saw that too - i think it's an invasion of privacy - you can go to the design module, though and uncheck it - that will make it go away.

  • I saw I could uncheck the activities 'rating, favoriting, subscribing, uploaded video, commented on video and became friends with somebody', but nowhere could I see an option to have or not have the 'is watching a video/is reading the YT blog' etc, and yet that was showing up on my channel!

  • Fuckin A!

    It's like every time YT adds a feature they, for some unfathomable reason, feel it necessary to take another feature away.

    And we just all have to make the best of a bad deal!

  • I couldn't agree with you more! They are trying to make it impossible for us to Keep any kind of community! And I hadn't heard about this pimping your videos thing, but that sounds like elitist shit to me!

    wow, this rant is probably the best most passionate and concise rant I've heard you do, and I've heard a lot of your rants ;)

    The spirit of Lennon is strong in this vlog!

  • Funny, I almost never look at my own channel page so I didn't notice the bulletins were gone... I'm just glad they fixed the 'new videos' bug on the subscription page.

  • When I first joined YouTube I read bulletins and approved lots of friend requests. I have happily been ignoring them for two years now! You watch me or you don't. Your choice. Should I do some ebegging to finance my next vacation? They want me to pay for featuring or promoting my videos? Fuck that...

  • now thats what i call a rant john.

  • Now that's one strong opinion about......Bulletins. I guess I didn't even notice them because like you said, I had removed them from my page on the page appearance editor. How hard was that?

  • LOL, you crack me up! Muah! IAPP

  • Yeah, I use the subscription feature, but bulletins let me know about some things from people I don't sub to. Weird. They have also cut back the number of comments I can make before that damned code thing comes up. I HATE IT! Aaarrggghhh..... Listening to the community seems to be in direct opposition to their business plan.

  • Yeah, I noticed that.... but I think you can still share videos. But yeah, I enjoyed seeing the bulletin boxes... especially OTHER people's bulletin boxes....

    Yeah, I never heard of anyone who did not want the bulletin box. Weird.

    BTW, GREAT rant!!

  • I removed the bulletin feature a year and a half ago. Because of Spam. also I dont use friends that much.because I was notified 3 times for every video someone made Maybe I am different. I only use subscription feature. I am probably missing a lot of great vidoes
