YouTube CEO Chad Hurley & Rep Ed Markey Discuss Web Video

[Roachmins]

which one of you guys are responsible for the new youtube layout? It needs to be changed back were it was I have a headache becuase of you keep moving my videos around

[DarthSchwartz]

so many idiots below me. youtube wouldn't exist now if they hadn't sold it.

[cassiasdad87]

KICK THAT BULLSHIT VEVO WANNA BE FCC SHIT OFF FUCKING YOUTUBE, THEY WILL RUIN YOUTUBE....FUCK VEVO

[rebello4610]

Fair? Or Unfair? Wrong? Or Right? Real? Or Fake?

[gildo1243]

Your not inspiring children in Africa, your just reminding them of all the luxuries they dont have ha ha

[thebleedingjeans]

WHY CAN'T WE VIEW THE OLDEST COMMENTS FIRST ANYMORE YOUTUBE?

Example:

I remember videos that I commented on when they only had a few hundred views.  Now they have 10,000,000 views. I'd like to go back and see my comment that was one of the first few hundred.

Part of the fun of youtube is leaving and going back and viewing those comments much later.

Please fix this YOUTUBE and keep it fun and interesting.

If you keep making us watch ads, we'll just go back to TV.

[jerryrobles1991]

this shit belongs to google now why do you think there is ads now pos

[bartz835]

yuck

[redmar79]

the cofounders were very intelligent and great, but the google deal was a take and run. Maybe not, but thats a lot of money. Good for them. I'm just befuddled.

[jodan977]

[yochen1996]

[TheCozmikTruth]

its such a shame this man sold out to google....because if you were to expose some truth here on youtube aside from all the relentless entertainment, your video will be censore and removed....youtube is dead....just pointless videos with no matter

[herbg3]

ON THE FLIP TIDE SUE

[AaronRodriguezTV]

this guy is awesome!!

[frena19900]

how come CHAD never mentioned Steve Chen in this whole video?

He sounded like he was the SOLE creator of YT.

Not Cool, Chad! You should give credit to others who made YT a reality.

[Bootrosgali]

County Cork misses ya lads , ill have a beamish on ye both (even tho its guinness in the fridge tonight) . To Ed, I love your genuine enthusiasm. the best attitude in a mad world.

[CRZYREGGIE]

youtube was great until the copyright claims started taking off vids that people put work in to make that are lost 4ever and cant get back up a girl i subscribed 2 had great song great voice could of been signed but sinced she did a song by another artist her vid was deleted so whats the point if she cant sing a song she loves man wtf now she dsnt make anymore vids i blame youtube 4 letting this happn :(

[herbg3]

Note how Chad can't come up with a vision -- BECAUSE ITS NOT HIS IDEA.

[FailureChadHurley]

I will have a video proving what a failure Chad Hurley is he created a flawed system that allows any user to be mass flagged down.

[popeontop]

social security is slavery

[TrueChurchLDS]

Youtube supports religious discrimination and bigotry.

[bashthebandello]

wack shit black crack the rap is in the nap sack next to my nuts which i bust like guns aim at nuns lord jesus couldn't heal or see the wonder like stevie that made chad ritchie like lionel crack smack guns bitches!

[overpaidrockstar1]

Youtube should be a place of freedom of speech and expresion.

But showing killings is uncalled for

[NazriB]

I believe that YouTube has the potential to go further. It is just that they are experiencing some challenges along the way.

[Alloyaha]

You gotta love the Islamic-Phobia so many Americans feel. Have any of you stopped to consider it just may not be his fault. Americans are more than willing to shoot off protests of all sorts, but unwilling to get off their lazy asses to do a damned thing about it. If your so pissed, make a movie and post it. Use your rights, or are you simply too hypocritical to do even that?

[VivaFitna]

Hurley and consorts should be investigated by IRS and Homeland Secrity for supporting terrorist organisations. YouTube favors videos made by terrorists that show atrocities committed against civilians and American soldiers. Material critical of their pro-terrorist bias is thrown out. Unbelieveable that this enemy of free speech is based in the USA. Why are the authorities so complacent?

[revengeTheo]

A smug supporter of islamo-fascism if ever I saw one. His YouTube is a staunch supporter of everything anti-American. Video's glorifying the killing of American soldiers and decapitations seem to be his favorites, for they cannot be flagged or removed, while even modestly worded and soft-spoken critique of islamofascist terrorism is totally suppressed without any explanation given. (vague b.s. like "breach of trms of use") Those who help terrorists are terrorists themselves, as pres. Bush said.

[BettyPumpkin]

Mr. Hurley belongs in Gitmo. He is a traitor who aids islamo-fascism. YouTube systematically throws off anything muslim-terrorism supporters dislike, anything pro-American and anything ever so slightly critical of islamo-fascism, while at the same time lending support to video's celebrating the gruesome killings of American an other allied soldiers. YouTube is nothing but a horrible enemy within, aiding and abetting America's enemies, which makes their owners also TERRORISTS. Single fare Gitmo !

[ScissorHand26]

You sir, are either a troll, or absolutely insane. Yet I remain amused at your near unintelligible rant.

[dmccoig]

I agree that it is amazing, We share videos about the southeastern USA, the people, the culture, and so much more.

People have commented from more places, states and countries than I can name here.

I still have a hard time believing the vast capacity of YouTube.

[CatapultYourMom]

What a blazing hypocrite this guy is.

He talks about "openess", but try expressing your creativity on YouTube with nudity.

Plus, he censors stuff that totalitarian countries don't approve of.

Clown.

[TheTechzorro]

@CatapultYourMom without him you couldn't have posted that comment. and he LET you post that comment.

[fatherjon908]

@CatapultYourMom there are porn sites that people who want to express themselves with nudity can put their videos.

[MadM3rv]

Re: "You are the only person in history to help everyone.." Are you fucking kidding me? MIT's $100 laptop is just one of hundreds of thousands of other examples.

[MadM3rv]

Because of that, a huge fiscal and social resource named Peter Thiel, and a great idea by someone else.

[Inuyashagrl721]

IM ED MARKEY!

[RonPaul4Pres2k8]

Net Nutrality gives the Feds control over the internet.

This allows corparations to lobby and ruin the internet...say no to net nutrality.

[prestonglen]

To speak of voices around the world being heard and then for youtube to suspend the channel of Wael Abbas is a great blow to human rights. Whose channel will be suspened next? Maybe the youth who get drunk and video themselves and upload it to youtube?????

[joeman00]

im surprised a $1.65 billion company with advertising revenue in the 100's of millions only has 200 employees!

[YUPchannel]

Livewire- :p

[RoadRunnerLaser]

LOL... Chad Hurley inadvertantly makes a spoonerism..

"On the flip-tide soo..." (at about 3:50)

[stevenup7002]

He was first a geeky coder who talked to me on MSN 2 years ago. Now he is a billionaire. :D

[UtopiaPictures]

What led to my success? I had a smart friend Steve Chan :)

[EfeMaverick]

"It's the sycophancy of a level usually only achieved by a congresscritter before a donor." ValleyWag

Markey: "You're great, you're great, you're great"

Hurley: "Oh, yes. We're trying to bring peace on earth with YouTube"

Markey: "You're great, great, great! (Please give me some that money, as a political donation). You're great, you're great!"

[mikeabundo]

Give the man a Director account, Chad!

[lillyraines]

So cool. Thank you, Rep. Markey for your understanding of new media, and for helping to bring it to the attention of Congress. Good job!

[vw78]

nbc, abc and fox watch out.. get original or die

[KarstenM]

A nice talk, and I enjoyed the video. But I just have to comment one quote that was a bit toooo much:

"...it is from the livingrooms of Americans to the villages of Africa, and that is something that very few people who have ever lived in the history of the planet, can ever say about something that they have invented..."

Wait a minute? Wasn't slavery an invention sort of like that?

[eunner]

Ed Markey could give Charlie Rose a run for his money!

[bonolingus]

This is historic!!!

[CaMaverick]

I wonder if Ed Markey asked Chad of any good places he could upload his video to
