  • 100 percent agree man. As cliche as it sounds, money eventually drives everything.

  • YoU hAvE a point. Now we have a reaction button but the selections are limited to funny, incredible, classic, cute, ouch. Are those the only reactions we have to something. How about shocking, stupid, thought provoking, or wicked.

  • Nice points, Kyle. I think the views, and the new and old ratings were already pwnd by those who choose to stoop to that level, so stars or thumbs, what's the difference? Showing skewed information is worse than none imo. And you know who the biggest skewers are!

  • @OldSchoolSkill I really don't see a problem with sock accounts myself.I wish you were allowed to make more than one account per email address to be honest.I might want to keep my political and atheistic views away from my gaming channel for instance.Not because I have something to hide but just so that you can have a overall theme to your channel.

    'nough said.

  • Dude, I was wondering if I was the only one who'd noticed the things you'd just mentioned. I was like, "Creativity is demoted! Unfunny/vapid shit gets millions of views! Douchebags are making livings talking about Justin Bieber! Am I the only one who's noticed this? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!"

    Yes, Zoolander reference. (Brint...no!)

  • Hey, I really liked your video.

    As a 'new' youtuber, my videos don't get that many views (relatively speaking). My videos, as you'll find on my channel, are not 'general' videos like RWJ or Smosh. They are not like enjoyed or understood by a large portion of the Youtube population, but I appreciate the people who watch my videos and give me feedback.

    I hate the fact that many 'new' youtubers are reduced to leaving comments reading 'plz check out my channel' and then are labeled 'desperate'.

  • Fucking A man!

  • youtube hasn't died, its evolved.

  • @ehhhhhhhhhh

    Hey, sorry to interject. I think you both have valid points here. But my point about the ratings system was; say I am watching videos about consciousness. I know the subject pretty well and want to hear well expressed opinions on the subject. Now obviously there are alot of videos on this, but when I click on a link I want it to be of a reasonably good quality and don't have time to check them all. In this case I approximate which videos will be worth my time by the ratings.
