  • you know your stuff

  • if an add starts to load, instead of your video, just refresh the page, then you video starts without having an add to deal with, east as pie.

  • youtube is shit lol

  • Blah blah blah, blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah.

  • im tired of shane dawson. The ads do take up too much space and can sometimes created lag. Annywho awesome video your very cute and keep up the good work!

  • I hate how they turned the front page features into "mostly the cool kids". It used to be a real community and not a corporate commercial.

  • I hate the fact that theyr'e actaully removing videos. Cause some of the things I've uploaded, honestly... don't have a 2nd copy... which is kind of a waste... =/

  • I have to say that I probably don't have second copies of 3/4 of my videos as many were lost when my computer crashed. I have copies made now, but everything from over a year ago is long gone.

  • youtube takes at least 2 days to approve my videos for revenue share. This use to be instant for me. I'm commenting on your video from another channel I started thats not partnered. Great video!!

  • lil advice, submit your revenue share AFTER the vid is made public, the ad attaches right away, 4 me anyway.

    u

  • I always submitted afterward. Going through the comments here, about half of the ppl were experiencing the same thing. I just got accepted to the Content Manager program so luckily its not a problem anymore.

  • You're so correct in your assessment of the debate, as it is is sad the top get even more help like they need it being featured, but what can be done will always be a mystery!?!

    Loved the outtakes with your scrunched up mean face!:)

    peaceouTy

  • i have been away so long. I was featured in 08 and got 600,000 views. Now I can't even figure out how to change my profile pic. o well :) Nice video *******

  • I am freakin' SICK of seeing Shane Dawson's face, and so are most people. Just do a search for "ShaneTube"

  • woah thanks for reading my comment! oneawesomeutuebr wa smy old accoint! SOOOO glad to see your talking tune back on! id like to see a featured vlogger list, where youtube put vloggers with less than 1000 subbers on. changes weekly. id love that. xx

  • Youtube needs to introduce a program where they pick channels that have from 100 subs to even 1000. And feature them, I find alot of people like myself are struggling for views and subscriptions. All of us work SO hard on our video and the views and subs aren't making up for it. Its very frustrating!

  • 3:43 ..."cherrible" things? I've heard of people pronouncing it without vowels, but "cheribble"? lol... don't get me wrong, it's cute. So don't hate.

  • I just said it really fast but I sure as hell didn't say "cherrible".

  • Eeehh... it sounds pretty damn close to cherrible, lol.

  • Did you know that MrChiCity was taking the suggestions from the minutes of the Google quarterly share holders meeting a year ago? You don't have to own stock to listen to or access a quarterly shareholder meeting. I have been a partner for two years and YouTube has never suggested that I get rid of videos below a certain number of views. In fact, I have never gotten suggestions from YouTube. His video was loaded with misguided information and a lot of hot air.

  • It was certainly full of misinformation. I'm glad that there were people who made videos pointing out his videos faults!

  • One more thing I thought about after I wrote this is that even partners had a 10 minute time limit up until about 1-1/2 years ago. A lot of the help information has not been updated to fit the evolution of change on YouTube.

  • @tjw1963 Funny how people talk shit after the fact. he never said youtube contacted him and told him to remove videos stupid. watch the videos again before you open your fat mouth

  • @BigMexicanBig You are late to the party dude and need to take your own advice! MrChiCity is gone from YouTube anyway! Old News!!

  • Mrchicity went a little overload if you ask me, however he made many strong points... the one i found the strongest is the whole "the community is dying" thing which pogobat actually refuted saying it was very alive . . . then where is it?

    The fact that youtube features the same people all the time kinda sets high standards for the regular vlogger and I've talked to some people that have felt intimidated by this. I believe the community has died down a bit...

    -edwin

  • OhCurt posted a video response and he used a short clip from a video that he'd posted back in 2007. The clip said "the community is dying" or something to that effect. Then he made the comment that, and using his own clip as an example, the community has ALWAYS had a doom & gloom feeling about it. People have always said that it "just isn't what it used to be". Which is funny, I kinda feel it isn't what it used to be too and yet, people seem to ALWAYS say that? Just a thought.

  • Don't like the Beta channels and i've been on the Tube for several years and it's not as good. I wish Youtube would figure out the copyright stuff with music...that's really what I spend my time here for as the "featured videos" and most others are just stupid really. But not yours! :)

  • I'll go checkout the other videos but YouTube is no longer a place to Broadcast Yourself. I wrote them once about all the copyrighted material that is still being uploaded and wasn't satisfied with answerers. Other members said that it's a way for them to watch their Anime?

    That's not true, everyplace in the US has a way to buy it?!

    I've learned to play the Uke, learned allot on YouTube but the advertising is totally ruining it, I understand that's were monies come from but why is TV here?

  • Part 2.

    I had playlists on my former accounts and while those accounts have either been suspended or closed, I can still access those old playlists by typing my former account name in the search box. Removing ALL former closed or suspended accounts completely (a LOT of accounts have been suspended over the 4 years I have been here). I myself have had 13 accounts. So, clean out all of the old accounts and accounts not used for 6 months or more and YT would gain a TON of server space.

    Indy

  • Part 1

    I don't know if you will respond to this but I hope so.

    I have been on YT since November 11th, 2005. I have seen so many changes since I came on here.

    I have no problems with the new layout and I think overall YT is doing what they can to make it better.

    What I do NOT agree with is removing anyone's videos regardless of how old they are and the view count.

  • thank you carrie for accepting my vid response.

    i truly enjoy your talkin tube episodes, very informative and eye opener

    i support you

    archie

  • Thanks Archie! Checked out your stuff! Love it! :D

  • Hi Carrie, I enjoy your vids and I hope Utube doesnt pull the plug on any videos! Keep up the great work- you're a natural :D

  • Thanks so much! :D I hope not too!

  • Annoying accent!

  • Is it too "pahk the cah in havid yahd" for you?

  • Too American

  • Has anybody ever told you that you look like Annette O'Toole?!

    I love your makeup in this video, too!

  • Thank you! :D

  • Wow, I'm the only one who did a video response? I was looking forward to seeing more opinions on this.

  • Youtube needs more monkey videos.

  • I´m addicted to you. You should be an actor - Claire - in Six Feet Under... ;)

  • I love your videos. They really speak to me. I love how you ask people about their opinion.

  • Thanks! Glad you enjoy them!

  • Monetization is really weird for me now. Sometimes it is IMMEDIATELY. Last week it took 1 day for one of my vids. Very erratic. YT has told me they are trying to make monetization time shorter and more consistent.

  • Well, that would be nice. Its seems to be eons before anything happens for me any more.

  • wär cool wen mich jemand vor meinen allein da sein rettet und der dauer langweile

  • €€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€?

  • Youtube is going down the tubes, (Pun intented) The sharinng out with only 25 folks at a time is a problem, I know the reason but think they should bring back share with all your contacts also bullitens was a great feature that went by the wayside! Also video view counts seem to be glitching at about 300 and when they come back on somehow it seems to be less than it should! These are a few majot peevs! Anyhoot, what can we really do about it? Later CL, Pops

  • I loved bulletins. It always helped with views. I do agree that when the view count gets back rolling it doesn't seem like its where it normally would have been had it not frozen.

  • I think the government should take over youtube, they seem to be doing such a great job of running our Country  ):

  • As it is users and viewers alike are being swamped with stuff which for the most part they will not be interested in. I am not sure how complicated that would be, but as Google and such seem to be making great big heaps of money out of it some thought should go into how they serve their 'customers'.

    Then again, 'customer service' seems to a rather outdated concept in today's corporate world...

  • I'm just using Youtube to share my music with the world. I am not looking from revenue from Youtube.

    An easy way to solve lots of problems imho would be to divide the whole thing up in sections, like newspapers used to do, so you'd have a Youtube Music, a Youtube Home Video, a Youtube Commercial Stuff, etc. Maybe even try and make some regional divisions.

  • I think perhaps the reason they wouldn't do that is because if something was labeled as commercial no one would watch? Just a thought.

  • Well, they wouldn't have to actually name it 'commercial', of course. The main idea was to divide the site into different sections for different interests.

  • YouTube isn't what it was 3 years ago, and overall, much of it is for the worse. The "You" is fading badly under the heavy hand of Google.

    Have you noticed that the Community tab no longer appears on the front page? That Groups have been swept under the carpet? I do remember when real Tubers and REAL videos were featured. Not anymore. It's all about money...

    And I totally despise the ugly, sluggish, bug laden channel design. My comment to Brian Glick on my channel page expresses it all.

  • Hey, moosie, always lovely to see your comments. As I said, I just embraced the new design as best I could - even though I don't love it.

  • I miss the "You" in YouTube

    They flagged me for public domain music!

    I think they flag people who have opinions they don't approve of.

  • YouTube does not want people with opinion and do not want to promote education. They are more interested in Make Up and people that only talk sh**. I have some ideas why is that.

  • Wow! I've been wondering why the revenue sharing takes so long !! I thought it's only in Japan.

  • I have to revise my position from yesterday. I hadn't posted a monetized video in a couple of weeks. Today I posted one and ads have not shown up yet. It is taking much longer than before. You are right, Carrie Lee!

  • Thanks, glad you liked it. Now, I have a question, and I mean NO disrespect. How did you become a partner? From what I saw, most of your videos contain copyrighted material both in the video and the audio. Were you partnered a while back and make those kinds of videos now?

  • Meh, no need to key in some geeky background for a simple vlog. I have some parodies I've used it in though! :)

  • "Its going to happen" Have you some insider info, Mr. Larry? ;)

  • Hmm I guess all older videos will be deleted. Well I guess I'll get over it. Maybe I should just go back to my older hobby of being a writer. At least when I write on paper I don't get suspended for copyright :) If all this comes true I'll probably just give up on youtube :)

    ~Ryan

  • I Think Youtube is just going to end up like Tv on the internet....

    It is all about the money really...

    The only reason i make vids now is to keep in touch with the friend i have on here...

  • FREE UP SERVER SPACE?????? I would KILL people oO No seriously, youtube must be crazy?!

  • The new layout is a mess.

  • This is spotlighted, and no ads for you still :(

  • I've got them now and YAY for spotlighted!

  • free up space hmmmm.....get ride of the lame adds no one cares for them....Get rid of the stupid layout all it dose is confuse people.....and if you want to see income dont deleate some of the good vids just because they have copyright if ppl watch them deal with it!

  • Haha- busted! Thanks you're so sweet :)

    I like Talkin' Tube- keep 'em coming!!

    (ps. my link is backwards... lol)

  • What a tard I am, going to change it now! :D

  • Very interesting. What's the chance we could get you to model swim wear? (: just kidding, you're a doll, thanks (:

  • Wow the drama going on, I find it interesting.

  • also.... you make me sleepy... ur freaking lame..... really?!?! a whole video bitching about youtube on youtube?

    i just wasted 2 1/2 minutes of my life watching some of this while i comment... sadface :(

  • Such a waste of time that you just HAD to comment twice

  • This guy is so watching the wrong video if he thinks that 1. the people watching this don't care about what I'm saying and 2. that I give a shit what his opinion is.

  • ur teeth are the same color as ur wall paper... sadface :(

  • Hardy har har! *&* (johnyt03 is retarded face)

  • Hey!

    Cool to see this segment is back! I love it, entertaining AND educational!

    Thnx!

    Grtz! Dennis

  • carrie lee the ads lag also happens to me.

    i was like why doesnt this have ads? (referring to your video) i think its been 6 hours or so.

  • It took 24 hrs this time.

  • It is happening to us too usually it takes 3 days or longer to see the ads. D=

  • wow, I watched mr. chi video and I am glad you pointed out to some good people that rebuttled him... thank you

  • Good people? I noticed that OhCurt disabled his comments. This is interesting to me, since he posted at 5:45:

    "I WILL be reading comments"

    Well, I'm sure it doesn't take a lot of effort to read ZERO comments, does it, Mr. Curt? What's a matter, never learned to read?

  • @CommentorX - If you had looked closer, you would have seen that the 'view all comments' page is now linked in that video's description box. If you had seen that AND clicked on it, you would have then seen over 400 comments - AND my replies.

    That discussion moved to a follow up video - yet another thing you would have known had you looked deeper.

    Glad I could clear that up for you. You're welcome.

  • Wow, I missed that too. And I'm usually the first one to bitch about people not reading the description.

  • There's even an annotation that appears throughout that entire passage.

    I can't be blamed.

    Still, it was nicer when you could stop the flow of comments but they would still display. Meh, what can ya do.

  • I wonder if the lag on monetization is YT's way of saving on payouts or paying out on videos that give a better return on the storage space (since the same chunk of HDD space generates more income longer until the popularity subsides and the video becomes dead storage). HD videos require more resources so they might lag longer to recoup costs? I don't know, I'm just guessing. And I gotta say, you have really pretty eyes. I'm not a fan of the new channel layout, but ThOverdrive's got a point.

  • Um it is revenue sharing. Youtube isn't paying us. So that are only losing money by the delay in monetizing.

    And Yes Carrie Lee I'm having to wait for my latest video to get monetized. In a way I am glad to know it's not just me. Sucks just the same though.

  • Oh, I think I missed something there...I took for granted that ads were visible whether a video was monetized or not. And my interpretation of revenue sharing was just that they'd pay you something, not that they'd pay you a specific cut off everything they made from the ad.

  • I'm a creature of habit CL,I dont accept change well..oh well change or die I guess!I have bred on you page and become gleegirls..never thought I'd do that again,in this lifetime,lo!l :)

  • ChiCity's video got featured which is interesting

    it is a rather ingeresting video but yeah most of the points that Pogobat mention are pretty spot on,

    one thing I'm still interested to know is if what ChiCity said about Shane Dawson true.

  • 8:27pm and still no monotization showing.

    btw I remember back to the days when I was pissed that I wouldn't ever get featured. Now I just don't care about it because a feature isn't a feature anymore. I doubt I would even notice a difference if I got a feature at this point.

  • Well, its more than 24 hours later and it has finally gotten monetization...

  • I almost don't care that I am not a partner now - about 95% of my video views are in the first day of posting

  • As it is also for the majority of us. Imagine if you actually depended on that cash and couldn't get the ads up in time because no one was around to approve them.

  • It is clearly an imperfect system. The saddest part is that it is costing Youtube a lot of their revenue, I would imagine they only give a small portion of the ad revenue onto the content creators.

  • The whole Partners-only BS only makes me want to take my videos to another video hosting site. Like blip

  • WOW, My vids go live IMMEDIATELY upon upload and are the commercials appear IMMEDIATELY!

  • They do for you because you're YOU. You're part of the Content ID Program as well, I assume? I've been denied twice.

  • What's the content id program??

  • I can't remember the link, but that's the program that many partners have where they can start a new channel at any time and have it partnered and link it to a main account. It also allows them to have a video pulled for copyright infringement faster than the normal flagging would do. Wish I knew more, but again, I've been denied! Honestly Terry, you're probably already a part of the program? Do you have more than one channel?

  • "Monetizing" it for all of you killed Utube. Should have made you all honest and just not allowed you to make any money. :)

  • RussinDC, what's dishonest about making money?

    As for charities keeping the money, of course they do. It's called overhead. You don't think the Water Project gets their office in Lower Manhattan for free, do you? They can have an office anywhere, but they chose the financial district of NYC. That should make you go Hmmmmmm.

    That's why, for an honest charity, you should all donate my Foundation for Wounded Veterans, Puppies, Kitties, Hungry Babies and Stuff. Paypal accepted.

  • I'm probably gonna just stop making videos because as an AMV maker it's virtually impossible to upload videos when they get deleted for having certain songs in them. And I work really hard on those videos, and it's promoting the musician to get their music out there! Most actual musicians (not their record labels) would love their songs to be used in videos (at least the ones I've heard talk about it). And now I can't even use my old email anymore. I have to use my google one. Wtf YT?

  • great vid carrie!

  • Thanks babe!

  • Susan Boyle is the first related video. Interesting.

  • If you get 1/78th the hits that video got you will have a million hits.

  • Here's hoping!

  • hey my opinion was in this video...YAY me!

  • get rid of stupid 12 yearold power rangers and wrestling TV videos!!! Give us a way to flag them as tv shows that have been uploaded!!!

    More Carrie-Lee collabs!!!

  • omg, I SOOOO owe you a video! D:

  • I kind of feel offended by that, as a wrestler, but, I can agree, because of all the WWE videos. But, if you're an indy wrestler like me, you could benefit from youtube, as it is easier to get your matches to bookers.

    And Carrie Lee, keep up the good work...

  • Wait!

    Will these low count videos being removed, be the very same ones that they "Freeze" the viewcounts on, or adjust to make the counts show "Community Interest"??!. Not sure about you, but they are always "Freezing" my viewcounts, and still pointing me to the blog section where they say they will control the view counts, or make them based on "Community Interest" when I question them.. Yucky!

    Love You!

  • i'm glad you said that you want us to go watch both of them and make our own minds up.

    i'm sick of people trying to push their views down my throat.

    thanks for this.

  • Great Video. I really like your point of view....

    Keep up the good work.

  • CHIIII-CITAY-MANG!!!!

  • B*B*Billi to the margooooooot!

  • Thanks! I appreciate the feedback! :D

  • great video and I totally love your logo... but I said that before. We can't change what youtube is doing or not doing. Youtube has a lot of Usability issues and the new layout isn't helping. But the human being gets used to it... so we have to arrange or stay away ;)

    Keep rockin girl, love seeing you on tape!

    °Sara°

  • great video - thanks for keeping us updated / the only place i get normal information about youtube is from you and gimmeabreakman (and he's talking japanese half the time haha) 5 stars :-)

  • most of those video responses seem to doubt the veracity of mrchicity's facts, which is kinda pointless since he claims everything is verifiable and he offers sources. why not just take him up on the offer, instead of adding personal opinions?

  • wel carrie the video made front page at a few thousands then ended with 29k views... it was a simple video response to why whites are obsessed with botox lol... I was just damn happy to even been on front page at all

  • The main complaint that I have with the new layout is that it is incomparable with mobile devices. You would expect the opposite from a company like YouTube. As far as server space, we know from the lawsuit against YouTube that they store deleted videos. I doubt there are any issues with storage space. Any decision to delete videos over 2 years would not go over well, bad idea.

  • Absolute power corrupts absolutely. It's an old saying but it is so true.

  • Umm...1st time viewer thanks to WHATTHEBUCK....umm first comment on your show...umm...Why Are YOu So Beautiful??

  • Um, thanks for stopping by, um you said, "why are you so beautiful" um, so YOU'RE MY NEW BEST FRIEND! :D

  • @AskCarrieLee Aww...Thanks! You made my week!! and it hasnt even started yet! =)

  • my prob is, is if they have eye catching add, then why must you reboot the vid you want to see so much when the same add is at the beginning of the vid

  • Stop HARASSING ME YOU LITTLE FUCKER!

    *blocked*

  • Hello,Carrie.

    long term,I wonder how long before :

    A. The half page ad takes up the whole screen,and must be closed to continue.

    B. That if the ad becomes full size,will it have to run (uncloseable) and then we can get access to the real content?

  • Finding the real content is hard enough right now, like finding a needle in a haystack.

  • My style of video response is able to be removed after 2 years or so,so I feel no problem with that. I woud be concerned to lose non response videos I have made,without some advance warning as

    EACH ONE

    is going to be removed.

  • I'm sure they wouldn't do it you joe, you're too cool :D

  • I have two partner channels. This one has no real problems with the ads showing up. My ItalianLessons101 channel takes days before the ads show up. Funny thing is that the views on that channel accumulate over the year so it doesn't really matter.

    ---

    I say kill the old videos and unused channels... show no mercy Mr. YouTube.

  • always giving great info CL!! Thank you!

  • delete all accounts with last sign in over a year ago? :)

  • Oh! I love that one! That's a great idea - they're such a waste of space!

  • Carrie Lee, great info as usual and thanks for the update. I've noticed that it sometimes takes a few days to get my videos monetized now. It's a bit of a drag.

    I also agree that the new channel format makes it difficult to access videos. I want a featured video at the top followed by a grid view of 9 videos just like the old channels.

    Come on YT, give us back the option to display both!

  • Going through the comments, I'm amazed at how many people have ads show up immediately and many take days. It seems almost dead even. Wonder why the split?

  • LOL @ Bloopers <3uCarrie :)

  • Thanks!

  • i had to upload a video three times so it would work

  • I tried to upload a new video 3 times last night. It is HD and every time YT sends back a message saying it is wrong format. It is 1080p and a .mov file. This is really pissing me off.

  • try downscaling to 720p, youtube will do that anyway so there is no quality loss

  • But they are supposed to be rolling out the 1080p and are encouraging the uploads. That's what burns me.

  • As far as the Videos themselves go, Youtube has got to do something. They get an insane amount of videos uploaded every day, lots of it is useless anyways, so to delete old videos that have a small number of views could take out some gold, but I am sure that they will set the parameters high enough so this wont happen.

    They can't pick and choose what videos stay and go when this happens, they will set up a program to delete a set form of parameters. It would take too much to go through 1 by 1

  • I agree they have to do something. People don't realize what its costing youtube to keep those videos around and they would have to come up with some sort of formula. Another comment was made, how about deleting account that haven't logged in in a year? I think its a great idea.

  • good vid carrie

  • The new layout is far easier to navigate than the old one. There were some significant glitches when it first came out, but the betatesting that was done really help things progress.

    I don't like the new uploader, since it appears to slow down the process. I'm intrigued to see what the new 1080p player will look like, but considering that the 720p player still is a bit dodgy, I'm not holding my breath.

  • My revenue videos usually appear within a few minutes. I mean, that as soon as I apply for the ads, the ads appears within 30 minutes.

  • Lucky! Going through the comments here, it seems to be a fair split.

  • regarding the revenue sharing problem, I'm a partner but the videos that I had up before I became a partner don't have the apply for revenue sharing button, even though they follow all of the revenue sharing rules. only one of my older videos automatically has ads up.

  • Weird!

  • There are advantages to both ways, the newer layout still looks old fashioned to me, but it is way easier to keep track of the newest content by your fav subscriptons.

    As far as the channel changes, it took some getting used to, but I like it fine now.

  • I think I've gotten used to it too. I had my channel redesigned fairly soon after the change over. I just tried to embrace it knowing it was coming.

  • Great video Carrie Lee.

    The featured videos did mean something a long time ago but not nowadays.

    I kinda like the new layout of the channel page.

    Pogobat is an awesome guy on his response.

    I get the adverts on my videos straight away and I find it odd that it takes days for you to get the ads Carrie. It should be equal for everyone on the adverts.

  • I was impressed with the videos by both pogobat and mrchicity, I think they both did a good job representing their points.

    As far as ads, meh. Hopefully it will go back to normal soon!

  • i made front page 2 weeks ago! most popular education... first time i ever saw a black face on front page!

  • Really!? Front page?! How many views did it get, out of curiosity?

  • when your channel is as sexy as mine it doesn't matter... 5/5 hun

  • expert summation of viewpoints, CarrieLee. ;-)

    cheers, babe.

  • Danke!

  • that sucks! my channel will have a lot of my videos removed and all of them are copyright free, i dont think its fair my videos might get deleted

  • And that's why we're fearful. But they DO need to do something!

  • I was having trouble getting my videos monetized in a timely fashion, but it has gotten way, way better this past week. One thing which might help speed the monitization process up is to be very, very detailed in your answers to the monitization questionnaire.

  • Good thought, I'll be more detailed! Thanks!

  • You're welcome!
