So... IS YouTube Dying? (The answer!)

[phekwig]

YouTube keeps changing just like the cast of characters on here. It's not dead. It just keeps evolving...

[21stCenturyCat]

very true and just like 'real life' as people come and go.

[myrnaukelele]

As long as folks are still watching and posting and commenting YT isn't dead...

[21stCenturyCat]

agreed! it might get a bit harder to find the community amongst all the TV shows/films on this site but it is most definitely still there

[andymooseman]

I'll steal Gary's comment, "applause`' as i can't think of anything more original :)

[21stCenturyCat]

a 1st surely!!!  as in can't think of anything else to say I mean ;)

[Evilspartacus]

Well said.

[21stCenturyCat]

thanks Evil

[gilligan07734]

there are just more sites like youtube so that dilutes the number of users that post videos

[21stCenturyCat]

I'm sure there are but I must admit I struggle to find the time to put into this one let alone go elsewhere

[gilligan07734]

that is my point to why youtube seems to be dead. people on other sites put so much time on them that they dont have time to come here.

[qwertylolzdwjkz]

definately dont think youtube is dying :D

[21stCenturyCat]

agreed!

[LeSaMilano]

you're pulling the heart strings *sniff*

;)

[ajdpadbury]

I agree with your answers, but to add, some people choose to leave and that is like real life but we have to be prepared to let newcomers join in too, after all, we were new once!

[21stCenturyCat]

of course and that is there choice.

I would like to think I still 'let people in' (not that I feel I'm anything special and people would want to 'come in' in the 1st place) but it is true that once upon a time if someone subbed to me I would almost certainly try and watch at least a couple of vids on their channel to repay the favour... I must admit with less free time I do this less and less

*applause*

[21stCenturyCat]

you wait 6 months for a comment and then all you get is one word?!!?!? ;)

[anakin1814]

I need to ease back into YT! ;)

[21stCenturyCat]

ahh I see you are part of the reverse YouTube addiction program... you'll be back to posting nightly videos before you know it! ;)

[MrRandomWritings]

I couldn't agree more...

unless I tried really really hard

[21stCenturyCat]

in that case try

[HaleyMary]

Touching response!

[PappyStu]

Now I think Pappy is going to cry... *wink*

[21stCenturyCat]

nothing wrong with a bit of pathos from time to time ;)

[thizizliz]

Terrific reply Steve - I've only been here a couple of years but really enjoy the interaction with people from all over the globe and from so many walks of life. I know my sub box is always full, so by that very subjective measure, I judge YT to be quite lively.

[21stCenturyCat]

very true, that is indeed a good measure :)

[nancyleeould]

:-) I couldn't agree more.

Ditto to what bearchay889 said.

Thanks for the response, Steve. I've been a complete lazy-butt in my own text comment section (the subject burned me out, I'm afraid) but just as it did for Pippilly, this made me smile.

:-) <-- See?

[21stCenturyCat]

ha ha tell me about it! I posted this vid almost a week ago and now that I normally stay at Babs a few days a week this has been the 1st chance I've had to reply to comments!

I was surprised in fact that I even managed to make this video response... perhaps quick/minimally edited 1 or 2 minute videos is the way to go! although ironically my next vid will be one of my most edited?!?! ;)

[bearchay889]

Great video i think everytime someone stirs this idea up it just wakes everyone back up and gets them making videos again.

[21stCenturyCat]

Thanks, I know some people avoid making videos on the topic of YouTube but this was a subject (although tongue in cheek) that I felt obliged to respond to

[Pippilly]

lol That made me smile = )

[21stCenturyCat]

as did your comment!... ok, was that too much? ;)

[Pippilly]

Ya did it again! ; P
