YouTubers are spreading viral videos urging people to boycott YT's advertisers, to sign petitions in order to stop YouTube from going more corporate. They want to keep YouTube solely in the hands of the average video uploader.

The thing is, they're wrong. YouTube is hemorrhaging money. Average video uploaders like me are not generating the money needed to keep them afloat. YouTube needs corporate sponsors and a new business plan if they wish to stay in operation.

"Last summer, a YouTube exec told an industry group the company was selling ads against fewer than 3% of its total views; The Wall Street Journal pegged the number at between 3% and 4%."

"YouTube users upload 15 hours of video every minute of the day; in a real sense, the company is providing bandwidth and hosting services to much of the world for free, at a cost Credit Suisse estimates at $1 million a day for bandwidth alone. Further, about 70% of YouTube's views come from outside the U.S., a much tougher sell to advertisers, and many of its premium-content deals cover U.S. audiences only. Globally, YouTube is monetizing at a much lower rate."

"According a recent report by analysts at the financial-services company Credit Suisse, Google will lose $470 million on the video-sharing site this year alone."

BSG is ending tonight! What are YOUR predictions for how it'll all turn out?

Here are mine!
I am a massive battlestar galactica fan and with the series finale tonight, I want to make some predictions for the show.

I think the last cylon, is Baltar. Now, granted, seeing his father in last week's episode threw me off... but I cant think of anyone else I like as daniel.

I think baltar will lead the ragtag fleet on, they'll find another planet, and humans will continue.

I think that the galactica will send a boarding party to the cylon colony to retrieve hera and sabotage the colony to make the galactica's attack easier. This would be in homage to the last episode of the original series where starbuck and apollo board a basestar to sabotage it so the galactica can attack.

I think the colony is destroyed and falls into the singularity. I think galactica does too, but the song gives them the coordinates they need to navigate through the black hole (and go back in time which would explain the nova, the prophecies of Pythia, etc).

where they meet the "gods". We know that earth created cylons... but i think that cylons were created on kobol too and maybe even earlier. I think these cylons predate the final five by a long, long time. they gained enlightenment and become like "gods".

Their "angels" are Kara thrace and Sam Anders... evidenced by their winged tattoos and the songs (remember both knew important music).

THANKS EVERYONE! I HAVE ENOUGH ANSWERS FOR NOW!

I've wanted to do a Q&A video for awhile... but everyone else has already done one. So, to be a little different I'm doing the opposite. You give me the answer, I'll give you the question!

It was late and I didn't edit this video at all, so I apologize about all the misstatements, stutterings, and false-starts I make. I've told people in the past, I'm not intelligent, I'm just edited that way... and here's my proof ;)

I'm not too fond of doing response videos. I'd rather make higher quality videos that deal with bigger themes. What do you guys think?


here's the video I'm responding to

This is a response video to ChristiPhilosophique.
Sorry about the quality... this was more of a direct upload.

Hey everyone! Indulge your poetic side and create a poem of 500 characters or less (including title) and add it to the comment section on this video.

Even if you don't add a poem, go to the bottom of the screen and click on "view all comments". Then, go through other people's poems and rate'em!

Thumbs up! = I loved it!
No rating = it was okay
Thumbs down!= worse than a Vogon's

I've been turning into an "angry atheist".
I used to pride myself on taking the higher ground, trying to educate others or encourage them to question their beliefs. Lately though, I think I've reached my fill. I'm sick of it.

I need to rant. I hope my christian subscribers can excuse my trollish behavior... but I need to try and get this off my chest. All it's been doing has been festering in my brain. I think Christianity is evil and horrific. It glorifies human sacrifice and it deeply bothers me that other people don't see that.

I wanted to upload this video for Darwin's B-Day, but I've been having major YT issues.

I've heard time and again that support of evolution equals a religion. It isn't, but that's not the point of this video.

This video is to point out that if Darwinism were a religion, it would be a damn sight better one than the other ones on the market.

If Creationism is ever brought into public school science programs... what would happen next?
