The Best Lemon Meringue

[crappyvideospotter2]

I totally agree with you on the thumbnail thing.

Yeah the so called partners use only misleading thumbnails. There was one on a Angelina Jo Lee makeup tutorial and it was straight up a picture of only her! Yet in the video there is no Angelina! Not even a picture! And other people just put boobs and then talk about some random totally unrelating thing to boobs. How shameless can you get?

The point of the thumbnail is to give you a preview.

If the partners showed an actual still of their video, believe me they would get much less views. Its like giftwrapping a piece of sh!t.

Also they don't even do a good job of picking an image to represent the video.

If you really want to pick your thumbnmail, you have to make more than half of your video consist of that image. Like this video, make it 10 minutes. 0 - 1:36 is the actual video then 1:37 - 10:00 is a picture of the pie. Just alert people that from 1:37 and on is just an image

Right on - see there are ways and means to get the thumbnail I'm after (and as I have an old director account, video length isn't an issue).  I just don't think I should have to, when people are getting revenue to violate the Terms of Service. I mean am I the only one who thinks that's fucked!?

I could collect revenue on some of my vids (I have the option) but I haven't done it because my other ones use copyrighted stuff and I don't want to fuck my viewers for a few cents.

[crappyvideospotter2]

Thanks for getting back to me.

No you're not the only one. I have not even read the terms, but wrong is wrong. I guess the usual terms only apply to non-partners. *shrugs* not sure

Oh my, don't get me started on the copyright violations. My old account was suspended for it. Outrageous! For music. What? That's called free advertizing. I cannot even comprehend what the problem is.

But good for you! Not giving into YouTube. This site has become a buisness, ever since google bought it.

[Zebonka]

I could see myself selling out of course, but I'd have to do something worthwhile first and frankly there's only a couple of videos out of my 200-odd that I'm even remotely proud of. I just get sick of revenue being raised from spotty assholes blogging about random nonsense, because any shmuck (ie. ME) could do that. I just find the whole business distasteful.

[crappyvideospotter2]

I would say all of your videos are more worthwile than any and all of those partners! I frequently watch your Star Trek (2009) reviews, funny and well made.

Distasteful is very accurate. Everytime I log into YouTube I am disgusted with the videos that are featured. All a buch of idiots blubbering about pop-culture nonsense. What happened to good videos being featured? Oh yeah, they were pushed aside for profit.

It's nice to see a user that is against YouTube's greedy underhanded ways.

PENIS

[Zebonka]

This PENIS thing is getting old. I'm sure it's a great joke but I don't get it. Maybe it's in protest to me and David making lousy videos lately .... it's your prerogative I guess!

[leewolfgang]

I yell penis because it rolls off the tongue better than vagina.

Nah I do that because I can.

[originalnilson]

What. the. FUCK?! I don't come over and you eat my most favourite dessert LEMON MERINGE PIE?! I like it even more than pavlova. :(

[pixiepqueen]

[Pablo668]

[JRGrange25]
