What is wrong with YouTube?

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - What is wrong with YouTube?

Posted: 1/25/2014 11:51:57 AM EDT

The last two days or so they made changes.
I no longer get videos recommended to my taste, and the crap they offer me doesn't even have pictures in the selection boxes on the home page.

They are offering videos that your overlords have approved for your reconditioning.

I've got around eight folders with something close to 280 videos saved.
I want to use the site, but they want me to watch shit.

Last week I could log on and see a dozen or two videos I might be interested in based on my viewing history.

Now the music section doesn't even offer music. I get crap like MSNBC interupts congresswoman for report on Justin Beiber, with a white out for a screen image.

I've been trying to figure out how to do that.

I don't know how I would copy pasta, and they have my DNA sample to compare against any attempt to create a new account.

Point taken.
But they get their pound of flesh from me. They sell my information to everybody. It's no coincidence that when I log onto Photobucket it says "hello (my first name)". I sure didn't tell Photobucket who I am or where I live.

They keep dicking around with the format, and trying to force everyone onto Google plus. Eventually Vimeo or someone else will supplant them. YouTube will go the way of MySpace.

When Google+ came along, I quit leaving any comments in the comment section of the videos.
I don't want Google+, or to "share" my every thought with every media source on the planet.

You have a point as well.

They've disabled the ability to link or embed videos starting at any point other than 0 minutes, 0 seconds, which is a major pain in the ass as far as I'm concerned when all I want to link to is sixteen seconds in the middle of a video.

They control you.

I can't comment anymore, using Google Chrome. If I try a blank window pops up for a few seconds and then goes away. Ironically, if I'm about anything else, include IE, I can leave comments.

I made a half ass attempt to figure out what was causing this, and then just gave up. I don't really care about commenting....

They screwed that up royally too. The associated referenced comments are no longer visible, meaning if someone posts a response to a comment you have no idea WTF they're talking about.

I despise their new format.
