You have a good head on your shoulders, somehow this didn't get in my subscription box, but I like how you were still in support of the actual tubers even if they were against the blackout.
Actually, I think you'll find that the longer this drags out, the more people will realize how little the minor changes in the rules are affecting them and the less they'll care about "the cause". According to some, "boycott 2" is on right now (Dec. 24 through Jan. 2) and I am hearing a lot less buzz about it. People that participated last time aren't participating this time, etc.
one act like this wouldn't suddenly make them change everything. something like this would progress slowly. they have to really feel like the community has a different agenda and they will eventually lose money if they don't work democratically.
but keep bashing it, seriously, it helps the cause.
For some reason, I decided to take a break AFTER the blackout. The Holidays were bugging me big time, and I took down my MySpace because people in my town are just plain creepy. D:
I watched quite a few videos about the blackout. Some were trying to get policies changed, some were hoping to get YouTube shut down. Neither of these goals were met. I didn't see anyone saying, "let's boycott YouTube so people will talk about it and put up more videos". The blackout failed.
I figured someone out there would try to turn the blackout into a success with some sort of spin on it. Did YouTube change their policies? Did YouTube shut down (as some were hoping would happen)? Nope. The goals were not met and the blackout failed. Personally, I had more views during the blackout than I've ever had.

I really wish I could say that a video website was a big issue and very important to me, problem is, I live in the real world.
