You mentioned features on our channel pages... I haven't really looked at mine since it went Beta. I didn't look at it before then either... I'm too busy concentrating on the videos...

[andymooseman]

As i said, i don't often go to mine, or anybody elses channel page either. And i have a feeling i'll be doing so even less now :)

I agree with most everything you said - but bottom line is - even though we are the life's blood of the social networking sites - until they make money off of us, they will not listen to us.

Their mind set is - they are doing us a favor - not the other way around. And is someone leaves bec they become too frustrated - the community feels it - but to them, it's not even a blip on their radar.

I think you may well have hit the nail squarely on the head with what you've said there Danny :)

Thanks for the info. I think i may give it another go at some time. I did used to enjoy it there :)

That's the main problem with FB & one i've mentioned before. It's a kind of crossover point between our online life & our real life. Sometimes the two don't get along too well :)

I have nothing against change. Change is inevitable & can do a lot of good. But, change for change sake is not & that's what we seem to get a lot of the time from these sites :)

[andymooseman]

Thanks very much Roc. I appreciate you getting to the end ;)

As you say, "what can we do?" Not a lot really & that's the problem. There isn't really anywhere else to go is there?. Well, not at the moment anyway. Not that i want to go anywhere. I'm happy here with all my YT friends :)

[andymooseman]

It is indeed. But, at least the comments seem to be working ok at the moment :)

I do think that part of the problem is that Google & YT have cornered the market when it comes to video sharing & even searching. Because they have a kind of monopoly they feel they don't have to bother anymore.

That has been the death knell of a few companies in the past. They would do well to remember that :)
