Chris Anderson: YouTube Full of Crap!

[jambexuk]

There are many educational videos on youtube. Universities are uploading entire Lecture series and you can get an MIT / Stanford / Harvard education. There was never a time in history when finding the knowledge you want to learn was so easy. For sb as curious as me this is awesome. I'm in heaven. For example I learned a lot from Richard Bucklands programming series. It's one of the best when before I had a hard time wrapping my head around these things. Or just look at "The New Boston"..

[UnitedSheffield22]

Ha, Listan, You tube is peoples life, Inclueding mine, So your saying TV's, arent full of crap?

[gatomjp]

It's not ALL crap. That's important. We put up with the crap to get to the gems that we wouldn't be able to see otherwise.

[Sox20009]

Chris Anderson= Fuckin Old Bitch!!!!!

[TheFullEntertainment]

[nourenemies]

dickheeeeead

[roythefatcat21]

[putridpansy]

ang guess where were watching it XD

[TheXstinct]

the only thing full of crap is that guys mouth

[yattedink]

@TheXstinct lol

[imapiece]

what a d

[Confidentiaification]

Chris Anderson got a point. I am going to stop using you tube now. There is more to life than you tube. This is another way for the government to distract our mind. You tube is 21st century's TV. It's allows you to broadcast yourself.

[whysoserious1979]

mrmongo fuck off you monkey cunt

[CarlJUK]

This guy is full of crap, sorry but who is Chris Anderson? Youtube is the future, television is old.

[PaulCynic]

@CarlJUK Chris Anderson would agree. Did you watch the video? "You Tube is full of crap. And that's what makes it so wonderful."

[MrMongo19]

grow sum hair cracker

[keggerous]

youtube is far better then network tv. seriously im sick of tv

[MrMega555]

they mad because tha people r free from tha tv hipnoshit

[ffscantfindausername]

itsnt this ironic posting it on here....

[mutinyvizier]

when you confront a persistent and stubborn enemy like google and youtube who refuse to act maturely, viewers must respond with excessive force and systematically and ruthlessly insult, humiliate, and decimate both.

[weiholau]

utube? keeps removing audio, deleting videos and suspending accounts, youtube is shit. was watching a good movie with 11 parts and when it reached the last part ( most dramatic part!) NO SOUND!!! made me rage

[cartmanfan4life]

are you talking about finding forrester

[finlanzer8sa]

Crap is crap, but there is good crap and bad crap. Like to watch sometimes crap and there youtube fits. And honestly sometimes stuff which is classified as crap is far away from it. Also youtube is far more agile and creative than tv. Tv turned down only for tool to drive economical or political purposes is worst, but there is internet to help avoid that jail of non-communication.

[turkoow1]

Fuck YouTube, Just F.U.C.K YouTube. I used to like YouTube so much, but they deleted my account with a video over a 100.000 views. They didn't event send me a message why they deleted it, if I had a video with copyright or something why didn't they delete that video, and let my account stay? Just fuck them I hope google get a painful dead.

[boogiebuddy01]

and they are dressed the same

[boogiebuddy01]

they are crossing their legs funny

[DukeyLee714]

Youtube is crap now. Videos are being removed. Some vids got no sound, some got removed because of the copyright shit. And fucken google ads keep popping up.

[TEMPESTSPARK]

BULL.. Everyone wants to have freedom to watch what they like and decide if it's good or not, TV channels allways "over promote" their own media then Jam a tone of Ads during the show (which sucks). Now lets watch how the Freedom of the internet is slowly broken down and shared off so we can all go back to being Drones (resistance is futile you will be assimilated ).

[1000101er]

His point is good. The internet breaks down the oligopoly of network television.

In the same way that a free market produces better goods and more innovation because individuals can just make what they want without first getting the approval of government planning boards, the internet creates better and more innovative media because individuals don't need to get the approval of network execs and editors.

Free markets produce a lot of crap, but they also unleash vastly more creative energy.

[colster4life]

While these two yap on, Gov. Jay Rockefeller of W Virginia is already making moves to introduce Internet censorship! Of course, the mainstream media has yet to inform the people of this!

[beeohhski]

since i got the internet i dont watch tv anymore

[Loveseekingmissile]

what the hell are they talking about? There's no place on earth with more shit than on Television.

[PetesBloodyHand]

The only TV programs I watch are the forensic/crime shows on ID or Discovery. The rest are a bunch of abysmal talk shows and reality shows. In general, TV is the bottom of the barrel for entertainment. The man on the right seems a bit pompous to me, he probably watches Oprah.

[Watcheruvdatube]

@Loveseekingmissile well then gluetube is a close second

[ICheruBI]

Yes but there is some good crap too!

[justforwatchingcraps]

one thing about youtube thats crap in a way tho: there should be a bullshit rating to separate stupid opinions that will only brainwash u and real, referenced information/insightful thoughts...when every1 thinks they're a scholar, u just spread stupidity

[methenium]

There should also be a Racist/Nazi rating, YouTube is infested with racists.

[archaedemos]

roll enough dice And you are bound to get all the combo's

[jskim1]

this video is full of crap!!

[666norton420]

lol

horrifying!

;d

[dream6cold6code6]

youtube is full of crap? Well not in its entire entity, there are also intellectual videos discussing history, human anatomy, personal research videos, along with political and scientific insights.

if all of genre/subjective matter and or personal or political statements are conceived as being crap, then he is clearly having a whine at everything without giving a clear definition to what is Good and what is crap, he segregates everything as crap, what a dick.

[suzhouhe]

Christ, does anybody ever watch these videos before they comment on them? This guy's whole point is that "crap" is a relative term. Your crap is not my crap and vice versa. WTF is wrong with that statement? Your "intellectual videos" would be crap to somebody looking for video of chimpanzees farting on each other.

YouTube comment threads are full of crap.

[dream6cold6code6]

Labeling every subject,genre, or statements made as different types of crap as a terminology is a hollow point in itself. If your going to make a point of something being crap then atleast state what is better in a constructive criticism, thats what I'm trying to get across.

why does the new terminology have to be called crap? what did planet of the fucking apes suddenly take over and now everyone a complete fucking retard?

its better to just call it, subject/genre, not crap, its degrading

[methenium]

Amen.

[dreamdewil]

"Have you ever noticed how their stuff is shit and your shit is stuff?" - George Carlin

[edewit08]

Good video

[Terrentia]

This is very true, the people of the world prefer their unique kind of crap.

That's what YouTube gives us, a unique way of displaying our crap to the world, and some people out there would probably like it, and view time and time again.

In the future there might even be a scientific discipline concerning itself with the study of crap.

[darktoadthesticky]

Television was crap long before You Tube came around.

[brunodemoura]

What's crap? The interview seems to not understand how diversity and freedom are health... I don't watch TV anymore... Crap by crap, i prefer my kind of crap.

[xXMusicxLuvaxMisaXx]

Yes, crap by crap i prefer my crap. lol But seriously i don't watch tv either except for vh1 and a few other shows :P

[Anjimom]

I guess the interviewer does not have kids.

[oldhacks]

youtube is garbage now. the partner program and the advertising and the false suspensions and flagging, and censorship, and Disney.

lonely girl 15 is NOT REAL. its garbage. chris anderson doesn't see how corporatism is killing youtube

[mmanouvelles]

Television is dead because it is *****

Make quality TV and people will watch it. so maybe youtube is simply higher quality then the propagandists of TV

[billybobby800]

youtube.....tv.... they're both filled with crap ......only you get to express yourself (comments) on youtube

[Saktoth]

The comments are the best part about youtube? o_O

Jesus thats worrying.

[freesk8]

Creativity requires freedom.  The internet provides power (cheap technology) and freedom. Censorship destroys freedom and thus creativity.

People work best when free.

But Bush and Obama and the D's and R's are all working to reduce our freedom. They want power, so they destroy liberty.

We must fight for freedom on the internet.

[blackiron60]

You're heavily into porn aren't you...

[freesk8]

No, but I defend your right to indulge as long as you harm no one else...

[InFromTheVoid]

There is more itellectual dicourse going on youtube than just sitting and watching t.v. Atleast here we have options! ANd we can talk about it after. It's not all crap.

[encoli]

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA, yeah right

[chris6770]

Had to laugh, they just don't get it. The interviewer is so square... thank god for the internet if it means such conservative views of culture no longer have control. Each generation redefines its forms of creative expression and content. I hope their kids are free thinkers despite their parents ;)

[terps4eva9]

Television now caters to the crap that is on youtube, but youtube also has the choice to watch informative unbiased videos and audios.

[HeyRadialMoon]

It may be mostly crap, but it is OUR crap. That is what makes it compelling. High production values and big budgets will always have a place in the entertainment landscape, but what YT has taught us more vividly than anything else is that these are less important than personality, imagination and a percieved personal connection. And the actual posted video content is only part of the whole enchilada. Comments, and the rest of the textual communication here is a key difference.

[Lihinel]

Close, but should have phrased it like Carlin:

Their stuff is crap,

your crap is stuff.

[MegF142857]

Thanks for this short whining video at least I know about Star Wars stop action animation. Wow... a whole additional genre to explore. As a little girl I would have been making stop action videos of my Breyer horses. :-)

[Mastikator]

And TV's aren't full of crap?

[mistaspot1]

YouTube comment sections are usually full of half-retards, though.

[Obituaryreader]

I second hat. we have seen the birth of an idiot nation glued to other peoples boring interests and misery...all crap.

[ClGARPAlN]

ForaTv is fulla crap.

TedTalks pwns.

[ClGARPAlN]

& UCTV

[ClGARPAlN]

oh yeah, these guys are scum for having so many kids.

[KhmerD0g]

and you don't?

youtube is full of everything, including crap.

[ClGARPAlN]

hey, i'm not saying i don't pwn.

& if i was we'd both know i was lying...

[KhmerD0g]

i'm just asking a question. that is all.

[proteanview]

YouTube has unleashed raw creativity, sans high-tech editing, airbrushed beauties, expensive productions & fancy cameras.

The guy on the left, who proclaims YouTube is crap, probably feeds on television. I hope I never get to the point where raw human expression is crap and 'quality' is airbrushed beauties, scripts & a constant stream of mindless commercials.

The guy on the left seems to prefer the wave-making machine over the actual imperfect waves created by the ocean.

[PFTECHMETAL]

Hey, he better not be talking shit about the household hacker.

[xkeltoix]

Theres a ton of educational content on youtube that i love.

[FUCKYOURGODINTHEASS]

Or soldering videos. LOL

[anthonzi]

He should be ashamed of having 5 children in such an economically advanced country.

[TempestWriter]

umm what?

The man has the right to have as many children as he likes.

[ClGARPAlN]

not if i can help it.

and i plan to.

[anthonzi]

No you really don't have a right to have as many children as you like in a modern society. It's something about sustainability. Shame.

[TempestWriter]

If somebody can support five children, then they can have five children if that's what they choose to do. No one has the right to say how many children somebody can have. Reproduction is a basic freedom. Furthermore, in almost all first world countries the native populations are on the decline anyways. Europe is a prime example where famlies are more often than not only having one child.

[anthonzi]

Reproduction is a basic freedom according to whom? China has taken a rational step in enforcing family planning. Why should other nations not be expected to take up the same kind of responsibility (even if not adhering to every detail)? What is wrong with saying that reproducing more than doubly (2/5) is not a sustainable action in the modern age?

It is EVERYONE else's right not to be crowded out by mindless drones.

[TempestWriter]

The only reason China enforced family planning was because their own government (like that of Romania) encouraged the populace to over produce. Both governments created their own problems. By and large, the modern first world populace is already on the decline without having to enforce any sort reproductive measures. For every family with five kids, there are probubly twenty families with one. Regulated reproduction is not needed, and China has a bad record with basic freedoms.
