Wasting Googles bandwidth and server.

MAKE GOOGLE PAY FOR INFLICTING BETA CHANNELS ON US!

BLANK VIDEOS COST GOOGLE MONEY! IT WASTES THEIR BANDWIDTH AND SERVER SPACE AND BRINGS THEM NO AD REVENUE!

Nothing is as deafening as total silence!

Every time someone uploads this blank video, it costs Google money because the video, and the html page itself, uses bandwidth and server space. If the video has no content, it cannot generate extra ad revenue for Google to pay for that bandwidth and server space. Which means Google loses money!

Everyone clearly hates the new YouTube beta channels that Google will be forcing on us from July 15th. However, it doesn't matter how many protest videos you post, it doesn't matter how many comments you post on YouTube's blog, and it doesn't matter how many complaints you send to Google. They simply won't listen to us, and it'll be a cold day on planet Mercury before Google sends you a reply to any correspondence you send them.

When Google bought YouTube for $1.6 billion in 2006, they stabbed every YouTube user in the back. They removed the bulletins from our channels. They algorithmically demote all videos that they personally deem to be inappropriate - regardless of the content of the video. They manipulate the viewing statistics on all videos. And they ensure that only partner videos are promoted. And that's just for starters.

Over and over again Google has shown the YouTube community that it doesn't give a flying bollock about anything we say. So what can we do?

The only way we can hope to stop this diabolical censorship is for us to fight back hard. We need to hit Google in the pocket where it hurts them the most. Clearly Google will not listen to us, but they will start listening to us if our actions start costing them big money!

For example, this video contains 11 minutes of nothing. This video does not violate YouTube's terms because it contains no copyrighted material, no profanities, no violence, and no misleading title or tags. So the video cannot be taken down for any possible reason as outlined in YouTube's terms. However, this video is still taking up some of Google's precious server space and bandwidth. Even if I set this video to private, it will still be taking up space on Google's server. Space costs money! What would happen if hundreds or even thousands of us posted this same video? Well it won't make Google go broke overnight, but it will certainly increase Google's expenses, that's for sure! And that will piss them off. If you re-post this video on your channel, you will NOT be doing anything illegal and you will NOT violate YouTube's terms.

There is nothing in YouTube's terms to prevent you from opening as many channels as you want. So why not create 10 new channels and post this video to all of them? Imagine the effect it would have if thousands of us did that!

Here's another way to hit Google in the pocket: Advertising is Google's biggest money-maker. That's how they amassed their fortune in the first place - by selling pay-per-click adverts on their search engine results pages and on the websites of those who participate in Google's AdSense program. Do you know the websites that contain Gooooogle Ads? Well, first of all, never buy anything from a site that participates in Google's AdSense advertising program. Secondly, each time you visit a site that displays Google Ads, click on those ads repetitively for several minutes. This will end up costing those advertisers money, and those advertisers will eventually stop advertising with Google.

Finally, one major thing we can all do is to organize a massive protest outside all of Google's offices worldwide. The negative publicity generated by such a protest would certainly hurt Google.

I understand where you are coming from, but posting blank video is not a great solution. You are wasting resources unnecessary and seem to have given up. What else have you done besides try and send emails to google?
