Protect Choice

Surprisingly, the trailer lent itself to the purpose.

"If you dislike beta and want to retain choice, then please mirror / feature / share this video, make your own protest, or complain to YouTube.

If you wish to mirror, here is a link to an easy download:

Please post your mirror as a Video Response, to spread the word. (Not back here, which would defeat the purpose.)

Tens of thousands of users complained about ProfitTubes plans to impose the beta channel design on everyone ... then management turned off the comment option. Given managements history of disregarding requests from users, it has been suggested that only a boycott will get managements attention.

Users are merely requesting that ProfitTube continue to make beta design a choice. We create most of the videos that users watch, we watch the videos that generate a profit, some of us click on the advertisements that generate a profit.

The suggestion is to turn off uploaded videos any time between July 8th and July 14th (click off the video box in channel design). Further, the suggestion is to boycott YouTube by not logging onto the server.

Other suggested actions:
a. complain in the YT blog by clicking on the beta announcement on channel pages
b. boycott the YouTube site July 8-9
c. paste the protest into your channel profile
d. do not click on any advertisements.
