Well over a year ago, all my friends lists were deleted. It took me several hours, over a period of a few days to get those lists compiled so I could share pertinent videos with those who were interested in them. Google Tube is here, You Tube is dead! PERIOD! Google must have received orders to make connecting with one another more difficult, while making all of us blend together as one bland voice the PTB are sick and tired of hearing!
Good vid dude, you said it all...in my opinion we should just get up and leave! im up for suggestions, and would be willing to try afew sites until a suitable platform is found.
Maybe that way we can also rid ourselfs of the trolls and gather the truth movement in one place!
Dont forget guys WE MADE YOUTUBE and WE CAN BREAK IT!
Google is growing rapidly, expanding throughout communication platforms. They're becoming a monopoly. They're public now and have to increase their profits every year. Expect to see more changes on Youtube in the future. Most Youtube users are interested in pop culture which is catered to by corporations, and this can only be done by appealing to the lowest common denominator--Katy Perry or Lady GaGa, coke or pepsi. They changed the channel page layout to speed up surfing on Youtube--ad profit.
btw buying yt sounds nice but highly unlikely as times are difficult as is and there would no doubt be infighting among all those who contributed to buying it, as if.
What alternative sites do you recommend? I hate the new bland style and if YouTube becomes the fascists we all hate and rebel against. We should all leave.
You say you have glitches? Try using another web browser such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. Microsoft Internet Explorer can be broken sometimes, or, most of the time.
YouTube is adapting their layouts to suit the small screens of hand held devices. Thats why the change. They want the hits. More and more, now own small screen devices to access the internet. More hits mens better ratings, and more they can make selling advertiseing!
Thanks for sharing the video. Completely true, completely honest. We are just cattle driven down to death. Living consuming for die paying. Protest and survive!
@Neurolanis you dont like the CEOS billion dollar idea to change youtube? Its not your tube. It is their and they have the right to do what they want. If you want to post and make them rich, folly on you eh? God gave you a brain, so dont get butt hurt
Most of your friends agree with your comments or video but you don't really know them so they are not contacts. Destroying a persons friends list is a violation like rape. The less people who agree with you the better it is for Collectivism (Govt/Corporations) opposed to Individualism. Google is not your friend Google is a rapist.
the elites, the system is all based on greed. This is created from elitist perception and thus reflects their ignorant world. I recently had a strike on my account regardless of the fact the anti fascist video i put out had historical content on it (youtube states that on their rules as ok)
I appealed and the fascist on the other side took five seconds to review my appeal without looking at the video or my argument. Proof youtube is run by ignorant people that only care for sponsors.
They are the government they know what they're doing you can't buy it! Leave what is there and move to a new platform. How could anyone remove someones friends that is psychological control freak abuse that puts them in the corporate media bilderburg group of low life globalist agenda circles. Effectively we the people have been spat on and booted up the arse by big brother because having friends that send videos has ant power and they don't want groups of people opposed to them.
I like your channel and your interesting videos, i am with the mighty YOU TUBE since 2006 from the first members and i still can`t get enough, thanks for sharing , by the way i personally like the old design better for my albinos channels.
Relax... the world of YouTube is not such a bad place. I'm actually glad they got rid of the "friends" thing... had loads of requests from people wanting to be my "friend", simply to get me to watch their videos. Playlists still exist. We can still watch whatever videos we want, and share whatever we want. You also don't need to watch youtube videos within youtube... you can easily create your own site which shows the youtube videos you want to share.
@soberauer You did no me because friends is power no friends means you're out there on your own. Dump them find a new platform! They're not your friends. That's the problem!
Generally, there are a LOT of glitches on YouTube....I don't know how they are making it corporate friendly when their websites get hacked nearly every day.
I am having trouble leaving comments as well and my counter on my page and videos aren't working properly. Won't hold my breath to get any of these fixed though.
There are pros and cons for everything, but in YouTube's or Google's case they need to learn about the word CUSTOMER FEEDBACK. They never take part in any of that.
A web site specifically made for activists would be much easier for the security agencies to keep track of the activists. If you were in a country headed by a brutal dictator you might appreciate hiding your needle in the YouTube hay stack.I am concerned with merging the friends list with subs. Will I lose my address book. When I subscribe to a new channel there doesn't appear to be a method of adding the new person to the address book.Re: 'Anti' activists, some are anti everything.
youtube made my "kettle fire" video age restricted.
I had connected 240 volts directly to the kettle's element (bypassing the auto turn off), the kettle had no water in it, so it heated up and caught fire.
you should not try doing this if you don't know what you are doing, but it is not so dangerous that it should be age restricted. (there are many videos of far more dangerous stuff).
@americanbandwidth I wish I never opened a Facebook page. I don't use it much, just use it to keep in contact with old friends, family, etc. I really should close it though..
@Neurolanis Yup. I started a channel on there nearly two years ago.Tried uploading a few times and ran into some problems. But I get regular emails from the admin about "this is fixed" and "that is upgraded". Maybe it's time to see what improvements, if any, have been made.
...HOW TO: RESTORE: FuckYouTubes original look & function
Click on channel , right below that click on edit & change it back. There is a option in edit to change it back . Click on it & changes it back !
=those whom fail to bitch & demand precedent performance accept the new terms of contract by default & shall have far less recourse & remedy in the Class Action Lawsuit that we are being corraled into in a attempt to protect our data investments uploads, playlist, comment, etc.
Wow! That would be awesome to actually own YT. I would love that. Not sure if it is a bad idea though. As far as finding another place. I found a few. I will be heading for one of them if we don't get back the old layout. All the fun is taken out of it now. And it is all such a mess. Not deleting the unwanted or video's alread viewed, is really annoying. But, anyhow, you are right. They not care or appreciate us. And we should all go where we are wanted. Where we can be happy.
@LanaV6 I'd leave YT if others were switching over to another site. I think it would be a gradual process. I just don't want to lose this community or see if fragment.
~a self perpetuating YouTube would create incentive for share holders or co-op members to keep focused on incentives to produce diverse quality accurate data product & protect the "data repository" for future generations.
=dividends would come from individuals channel own advertisement revenues with the Common Communication Co-op funding the staff, hardware and software with it's own inclusive advertisement & Charitable Tax Donation Status for directed taxation
@LanaV6 ...oddly enough I had made a video on this very subject Common Communications Co-op
~I was going to send it to you
=but oddly enough, there is no trace of its existence since it was uploaded a few months back, even the mention of it on other uploads and other's comments has disappeared ; go figure while I start again.
It's funny, today I was reminiscing about the days of bulletin boards on the 'Net. One of my favorite places to hang out was The Mining Company. I think the NY Times bought it, but, whatever, it became AboutDOTcom. Totally ruined it. It went from people arguing everything from politics, to religion, to child-rearing, to a structured, "read the articles" and (approved) comment site. It went from user-driven to owner-driven. I used to go to TMC every day. I visit About maybe every 2 or 3 months.
@YY4Me133 Huh. Maybe this is just how sites evolve when they become successful. I have seen numerous similar examples over the years. Once a site is a 'success' (even a modest one) those running it think that they know what's best, ignore their supporters and start telling them what they should like.
@Neurolanis I'm of the opinion that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Offer options, but don't force unwanted changes.
Anyway, YouTube seems to have brought back the old style home page, fixed the graphics on video pages, and put Playlists back to where they can be arranged as desired. If they'd reduce/collapse the Playlist bar at the bottom of video pages, stop the volume control from collapsing, and show "Add to" Playlists alphabetically I'd be a happy camper.
@missartist123 that sucks. We probably have different glitches depending on what software we use. For me it's comments disappearing, esp in the middle of writing a reply.
I agree about the changes. It is obvious and very annoying. I don't mind the grey on the video player pages but I didn't want it for my channel. Where are my color and transparency prefs? And why the fark did they hide my channel comments????
Buy YouTube? That should work out well. Tell you what, everybody chip in and I'll hang on to it for ya. I'll keep it somewhere safe. Bermuda. Maybe Switzerland.
They would never let us buy it in my opinion. But moving to a different site won't be easy. I didn't save backups for a lot of my videos and youtube often won't let me download my own content! It's insane. Let's not even mention facebook. I'm glad your channel is still up man. We can only delay SOPA, solidarity is more important day by day.
@D3R3K1600 Basically, the Internet is either about 'sharing info' or owning info, you might say. It's been the Wild Wild West on here and I'm sure most of it prefer it that way. Artists deserve credit for their work but when it comes to online...tricky subject.
@Neurolanis Maybe it should just be up to the artists alone to find their audience and figure out how they will market themselves (sharing/owning). But that doesn't have to mean we can't work together. There is definitely enough capable people out there that independent artists could create their own domain for online content.
Ebay was, to me, the prime example of Frankenstinian macro-management gone horribly wrong...and it is YouTube's turn. Now...I appreciate YT letting me have my run for as long as I have...but that is the end of that. I am with you as well, Neuro, I keep my stuff as "trim" as possible, no huge "movie" files or junk like that (it is the trend of course now, more mainstream, etc.). Good video...and keep it up as long as you can...then bow out, and let this place become just another Wal-Mart.
I originally subscribed to your channel after seeing one particular video where you were insightful and held a credible, intelligent viewpoint. Unfortunately, I can see now I was wrong. I don't choose to subscribe to people to watch them whine, and that's what your last 2 videos have been. This one takes the cake. I'll save myself the frustration of watching a child throw a little tantrum over accepting change, and unsubscribe now.
@ciniful I wrote a brief reply but it didn’t feel right. Yes I can whine as I am something of an activist..but I want to get back to spiritual/philosophical stuff soon. I'll be taking my political vids to a new YT channel to focus on Canadian politics there. I've been going through spiritual and psychological changes lately and maybe I shouldn't be making vids right now. but I keep going. It's cool if you want to unsub, just wanted to explain a little.
Google owns You Tube, together they are among the top worth companies of the world. Billions ++ They are not therefore likely to be "Occupy" friendly and not affordable. I really dislike the new You Tube. I hate the censorship, the changes. I see a trend (Have a peek at Windows 8 new look) to make one interface for all. So, with a wide-screen display we are limited to 2 columns of pics/text. (Mobiles). The new YT separates videos from comments etc. All backward steps! Out of rant space! Love ♥
Google and YouTube have literally ruined the internet in preparations for internet 2. It seems that the PTB want to herd everyone onto Facebook and YouTube is trying to be like a TV broadcasting station. I came to YT because it was unique. Now that it is becoming more controlled, I do not like it and will not hesitate to stop using it. I stopped watching TV over 20 years ago because I really do not like commercials and do not appreciate people trying to sell me crap that I do not want or need.
@cgodinu Agreed. Never would have joined Facebook if I knew what that entailed. I also hate how our different accounts are linked to each other without our permission. :/
Tough subject, there is soo much to like with all the old content and the new content that people post. If there was an activistish site that would be great but the whole idea behind youtube was a place to post and let anyone that was interested check out your vid, sure there are cliques but such is life. Let me know of another site that doesnt have the problems and I'll try it out, if I like it word of mouth goes a long way, plus no one has leave their account here.
@2011rcm Well, I tried uploading some vids to Metacafe a while back as a curious experiment. My vids got a LOT more views, despite being new there and having no subs! I am not sure if the views were authentic however (you know how some sites can trick you in various ways.) But if they were real, wow, talk about an improvement in terms of getting attention for hard work put into vids that don't get much attenton on YT. However, no feedback, ratings or subs. No community. That was my experience.
Indeed the time to push back is now.....My channels are shut down more or less now. Am done with the censorship here on screwtube. I left my protest vid up on all my channels as a statement. Is a real shame screwtube is run into the ground now...a real mud pit! lol peace out my fellow canuck!

They would never let us buy it in my opinion. But moving to a different site won't be easy. I didn't save backups for a lot of my videos and youtube often won't let me download my own content! It's insane. Let's not even mention facebook. I'm glad your channel is still up man. We can only delay SOPA, solidarity is more important day by day.

@D3R3K1600 Basically, the Internet is either about 'sharing info' or owning info, you might say. It's been the Wild Wild West on here and I'm sure most of it prefer it that way. Artists deserve credit for their work but when it comes to online...tricky subject.

@Neurolanis Maybe it should just be up to the artists alone to find their audience and figure out how they will market themselves (sharing/owning). But that doesn't have to mean we can't work together. There is definitely enough capable people out there that independent artists could create their own domain for online content.

@D3R3K1600 Well yes. They can indeed market themselves online without being promoted by YT over other channels.

Ebay was, to me, the prime example of Frankenstinian macro-management gone horribly wrong...and it is YouTube's turn. Now...I appreciate YT letting me have my run for as long as I have...but that is the end of that. I am with you as well, Neuro, I keep my stuff as "trim" as possible, no huge "movie" files or junk like that (it is the trend of course now, more mainstream, etc.). Good video...and keep it up as long as you can...then bow out, and let this place become just another Wal-Mart.

@TheCaptainSlappy Yeah, sad to see though, given what YT was once like.

I originally subscribed to your channel after seeing one particular video where you were insightful and held a credible, intelligent viewpoint. Unfortunately, I can see now I was wrong. I don't choose to subscribe to people to watch them whine, and that's what your last 2 videos have been. This one takes the cake. I'll save myself the frustration of watching a child throw a little tantrum over accepting change, and unsubscribe now.

@ciniful I wrote a brief reply but it didn’t feel right. Yes I can whine as I am something of an activist..but I want to get back to spiritual/philosophical stuff soon. I'll be taking my political vids to a new YT channel to focus on Canadian politics there. I've been going through spiritual and psychological changes lately and maybe I shouldn't be making vids right now. but I keep going. It's cool if you want to unsub, just wanted to explain a little.

Google owns You Tube, together they are among the top worth companies of the world. Billions ++ They are not therefore likely to be "Occupy" friendly and not affordable. I really dislike the new You Tube. I hate the censorship, the changes. I see a trend (Have a peek at Windows 8 new look) to make one interface for all. So, with a wide-screen display we are limited to 2 columns of pics/text. (Mobiles). The new YT separates videos from comments etc. All backward steps! Out of rant space! Love ♥

Google and YouTube have literally ruined the internet in preparations for internet 2. It seems that the PTB want to herd everyone onto Facebook and YouTube is trying to be like a TV broadcasting station. I came to YT because it was unique. Now that it is becoming more controlled, I do not like it and will not hesitate to stop using it. I stopped watching TV over 20 years ago because I really do not like commercials and do not appreciate people trying to sell me crap that I do not want or need.

@cgodinu Agreed. Never would have joined Facebook if I knew what that entailed. I also hate how our different accounts are linked to each other without our permission. :/

Tough subject, there is soo much to like with all the old content and the new content that people post. If there was an activistish site that would be great but the whole idea behind youtube was a place to post and let anyone that was interested check out your vid, sure there are cliques but such is life. Let me know of another site that doesnt have the problems and I'll try it out, if I like it word of mouth goes a long way, plus no one has leave their account here.
Let me know.

@2011rcm Well, I tried uploading some vids to Metacafe a while back as a curious experiment. My vids got a LOT more views, despite being new there and having no subs! I am not sure if the views were authentic however (you know how some sites can trick you in various ways.) But if they were real, wow, talk about an improvement in terms of getting attention for hard work put into vids that don't get much attenton on YT. However, no feedback, ratings or subs. No community. That was my experience.

Indeed the time to push back is now.....My channels are shut down more or less now. Am done with the censorship here on screwtube. I left my protest vid up on all my channels as a statement. Is a real shame screwtube is run into the ground now...a real mud pit! lol peace out my fellow canuck!
