TBH I want youtube to stay the way it is. Many people are happy now and don't need a change, but if it must, I would try dropvids out to see how good it is.

Eh, the only reason they brought in all these big record labels, tv channels and things is because people kept uploading the music/films/shows to youtube and they was in trouble for it. XD

Not only that but youtube was sold off to google because the original owners couldn't afford to run it, the thing is one of the largest websites in the world..it needs a lot of money to fund it.

Personally i think it's been going to **** for awhile and not because of Disney, mostly because of the myspace crowd flocking to it and uploading idiotic videos of them singing in the mirror.

Theres more **** on that site than theres good so if it makes some of them bugger off then good riddence. Those that made good videos are generally intelligent enough to find a way to carry that on so it's no problem in my book.

Also was kinda funny he went on ***** about how all the ratings on videos are useless and everyones pushed aside yet at the end asks people to do just that.

My one problem with youtube is them censoring me cause I'm from the UK and as long as they do that there will always be people around to upload the stuff they lock out from me so it's not really a big issue either.

I just made an account on DropVids to reserve the name; I don't think YouTube is going anywhere any time soon.

Same. drop vids is incredibly small right now and I doubt they are going to get any bigger. I think that youtube will always be the big video website whether people like it or not :(

this is a bad video he never talked about youtube problems just his problems cause did you know that youtube bandwidth is about a million dollars a day which is about 365 million dollars a year and youtube is only making 200 million a year so they are losing 165 dollars so what are they supposed to do?

Credit Suisse estimates YouTube will manage to rake in about $240 million in ad revenue in 2009, against operating costs of roughly $711 million, leading to a shortfall of just over $470 million. This half-billion dollar loss comes after more than a year of feverish experimentation in various forms of advertising, cross-product embedding, licensing and partnership deals. YouTube is adamant that ultimately they’ll find an advertising solution that will enable the ungainly behemoth to reach profitability. Looking at the math, it doesn’t seem likely.


I don't see YouTube shutting down, but when you see the near half billion loss you have to understand why YouTube is moving to a more profiting venue.

That guy complained too much IMO. He doesn't have much of a right at all to ***** and moan about his videos being taken down. If he wants unfiltered content and not have to worry about others getting more revenue than he does, he should create his own website and host his videos there.

I haven't seen any of these changes yet, and frankly I could care less. If I want to look for something good, I'll find it by a friend referring it to me.

Youtube is a good site. It has everything you can find on it. from gaming tips to how to fly a plane. I like it just the way it is.
