Remember when you could watch a video without a commercial?

Remember when music videos were uploaded by users and not VEVO?

Remember when all the info was to the right of the video?

Remember you could rate a video 1-5 stars?

Remember the famous yellow subscribe button?

Remember when the users controlled the site and not corporations?

WE MISS THE OLD YOUTUBE!

Post this in every video and lets start a youtube riot.

Thumbs up to keep at top

Eric Schmuck is dodging the real issue. It's not with Google "complying" with federal regulations, it's with their aggressive collection of personal information, which ISN'T required by law.

I have an ideal, is there a way that those of us that enjoy our privacy can create a web site like Youtube but ran by the USERS of that new website that will actually give a fuck about our privacy that will allow us to do what MsFarmboy67 and the vast majority of us miss? Or does a site like that already exists if so please let me and everyone here know so that we can join what i'm going to call, OPERATION EXODUS. This includes any website that would sell our private info. Just a thought.

CEO is a fucking Jew! Why am I not surprise? The whole fucking u.s gov is run by Jews! So they are collecting our data info to spy on us just like the nazi did to the Jews. New world order Jews= nazis nowadays.

[Youbian]

This is like some twisted technological version of the way the Nazis used to trick their lures into furnaces by promiseing them showers and travel.

"if you have nothing to hide why worry about privacy?" <-- do you have blinds or curtains on your windows? Do you close the stall door when you use a public bathroom? Maybe you just don't want any ol' schmo in your 'business.'

If you truly believe that there is no need for privacy, on the basis that those who wish for the freedom to CHOOSE what is known about them are suspect and cagey, then your have been BOUGHT, heart and soul, by the powers who want to strip you of that right.
