**** INSTRUCTIONS - MODIFYING YOUR CHANNEL FOR BOYCOTT DAY

Sign in to Youtube and goto your Channel (old design).

Click "Videos and Playlists" at the top.
On the Right Uncheck all your Playlists
On the Left Uncheck "Playlists"
Under "Featured video" scroll to where it says "Other"
Paste in "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuSQBjcvx0U"

Save Changes

Now click "Modules."
Unclick Subscribers, Subscriptions, Other Channels and Comments.
Leave Recent Activity checked.

Save Changes

Now create a bulletin (this goes to all your subscribers and friends)

It should say something like:
"Hello all my youtube friends. I am supporting the boycott of youtube. Join me. Boycott youtube Every Sunday! If you upload videos, then make all your videos unlisted except the protest videos. Make your playlists/favourites private too. And feature a boycott video as much as you can."

Then Copy and paste into the area where it says "Enter Youtube video URL"
the following.

Then press Post Bulletin.

If you want to, you can then remove all "Recent Activity" Items EXCEPT the bulletin (click on the little X).

Now for the hard part - Dont watch ANY youtube videos on the protest day.
Very difficult.

We have to schedule another boycott day, and another after that one and so on, one day isn't enough, I don't know how Dec16th went, I hope we made a difference!!!

I'm hating the new YouTube ao much!!!!!!!!!!! >=(

[jtatlarge]

@Tatstube77 every participant helps make a difference. But, we must do more than boycott. Real boycotts take time to plan and execute. I fear we dont have enough time to fully implement and inform people before google finalizes its decisions. 5 billion views a day, 600 million accounts, 1 million new accounts each day. We need more boycott videos - about 1 million - to affect youtube. They need to point to one location. And each uploader needs to be a subscriber of that location.

[jtatlarge]

@Tatstube77 There is one scheduled for today, Dec 19,

I think there is another one set for Dec 24.

@jtatlarge Thank you, you are a hero

[Weegrolol]

So explain to me why youtube. partners with google aka google+ wants to eliminate social networking through youtube. If this is to protest sopa and bla bla bla bla internet, you have a better chance of writing your representatives. there will always be a youtube no matter what it is called.

[celestegrl]

i dont see the point of this. Its sux. whats the point to even have an account. Probably delete my account~

[grizzlyten]

We all get reduced to being just a list of videos with the new layout. I'll be boycotting with the rest, but I also opened an account at zippcast. And today i just closed my Facebook account. Screw Google. I'm fed up with this crap.

Nice video, by the way.
