I Surrender!!

Thank you to those who did supported those videos but I wont be making any more about Youtube, sorry. You can see from the comments on this page that most people just don't care about any of this (including my channels getting shut down by Youtube). Apathy won - game over.

Not to rain on your parade, but "stuff like that" is generally funny stuff, stuff with a wide audience, stuff that's politically appalling, stuff from people with thousand and yet thousand of subscribers, or stuff that's been video edited for hours. Also, "stuff like that" is often shorter than three minutes, because... Well, that is pretty much the attention span today. So one man driving around in an ill-lit car pointing out issues about YouTube layout doesn't appeal to the wide audience.

@MrPointless

Yes.

As you clearly illustrate - I have been totally wasting my time.

Have changed direction now.

Don't see this as a surrender, see it as a retreat.

You hit the nail on the head, to make a difference, you need to be one of the bigger fishes. So don't get disheartened, step back and do what you clearly enjoy, making video's for people who want to watch. Fatten up and become a bigger fish, then if you ever to anothrr rant video, you'll be in a better position.

Set up a "clone" account where you simply upload your content twice. If you tube do get you, it's an easy switch on to live.

Youtube Censorship WTF how draconian

[Relatharr]

@RachaeLeNoire Apparently it's being merged with the Subscription list into an all-encompassing "Contacts" heading. Had to find that out myself from poking around settings and such.

DID YOU THE LOWLIFES DID AWAY WITH THE FRIENDS LIST!!

[Relatharr]

Found this in the related videos and not my subscriptions..sorta telling.

I had several reactions after watching the vid and reading the comments. But in the end, throwing up your hands and saying you're stopping with the protests against Youtube essentially cheapens your own efforts. Instead, look at it as being successful at bringing an issue to the attention of people. Even on a small scale, ideas can never die. We hear you, we'll remember, and do our part. The rest I chalk up to frustration

You deserve that bonus!

@TheSillyOldDude what I've gathered from all of this is you were being しつこい. Sending them the e-mail letting them know its an issue 3,000 people have a problem with is an OK idea. However, the one thing not being taken into account is youtube is a business and it takes a while for issues to be discussed/changed. So part of their frustration may be that you are jumping the gun, but the bigger thing is if only 3000/50000 are backing you up... maybe that means 47000 like the idea?

it just needs a bit of time and step ahead thinking approach, like not just following what is happening, but doing your thing and thinking what'll make your thing untouchable by this nuisense (I don't want to play wise, just may be it makes sense...and can work)

[kateDAbomb]

the Japanese culture acceptance here is applicable, by that I mean that's a same sort of thing,our complains and why? and this sort of things just won't change it. the same is - don't like it don't use it effect (like if you don't like the country why are you still here?) and that's probably way to refocus on what is really important..it highly annoying though to see all these crazy money making thing happening..but to see it only-is already half of the way,ther's always other way to get out

[DirektorWulicke]

It's very true. And it effects many areas of every day life. There often are people who have power over you and don't want to face any kind of criticism, not even contructive one. If you are the first one standing up and you are alone you usually have to take disadvantages, sad but true. But keep in mind you have always the chance to get the ball rolling. And constructive criticism is absolutely necessary to develop. So be brave and don't stop criticizing (constructive!),

You fought the good fight. It is fair to pass on the flag. Sorry to see you go. I could have done more, we still can do more. You let me know the B.S. google pulled. Good luck, your other channels are still great.  I would hate to see them go because you spoke out. It hurts to surrender, but with luck, the issues you raised will go on beyond you. I know that there is no evidence for this. Good luck, Ganbare!
