Hey guys.
Youtube. A lot of people use it, and a lot of people love the site. However since Google bought it out, its been going slowly downhill in my (and most peoples) opinion
They got rid of the star ratings that were really nice. Then they started putting adverts all over the place. Then they started changing the UI to its detriment. Now I log on there today and they have changed the favourites window to some pile of horse crap!
I checked the Youtube forums and as I suspected.... lots of pages of people all annoyed.
Just wondered what the eve community thought of youtubes downward spiral?
I must mention there have been one or two positive changes but they have been few and far between. [Rage off]
Anyone know any other youtube like sites? lol.

This is the most annoying thing to me. Like every other video I watch has a 15-30s advertisement
I DON'T GIVE A ****!!

Edited by: Blane Xero on 24/07/2010 06:15:20 If you're using Firefox, there is a greasemonkey script to remove in-video ads. Give me five and i'll dig it up and edit it into this post.

also, when you get an advert, because it's random whether you get one or not, you can just hit reload to get rid of it.

Using a script to get rid of them completely is less annoying. ____________________

You gotta simply love Firefox with all its plugins... like noscript, adblock, DownloadHelper, googlesharing... everything that makes your day better, brighter and less annoying!

Oh no, this completely free site with millions of videos (albeit most of them are absolute **** and a waste of bandwidth, air and living space) has ads on it, I AM ANGRY!
Ads > Paying for it.

I would not be against Internet ads if they where not: 1. Designed to annoy 2. Proven and known to distribute malware
as such i take measures to protect my system from them. at least the ads on TV dont require me to run an AV program afterwards.

I can appreciate they use the revenue to better maintain the site. And yes I know its a piece of **** to get around the ads.
I dont think I made myself totally clear. Im more dissapointed with the UI changes youtube have been making. They way they move things around for no apparent reason. The ones espically today regarding the favourites window. I used to be able to have them in the boxes and scroll through a whole list. Now instead you get each video in a row of lines that barely fits 10 per page. This hinders navigation and I dont see what the point of it is :S Also thing likes removing the star rating system... what was wrong with that?
But yes go to the youtube forums you will see what I mean. Plenty of people raging lol. |

I remember a while ago there was an option, when commenting, to have youtube play your comment back to you.
total xkcd reference, and totally awesome. But now I see it's gone, not like it's worth it to read comments anyways. |

Originally by: angry mob Rabble rabble rabble advertising on a free service
do you pay for a Hulu account? No? Didn't think so.
Thank you google, for providing a service where i can have 7 gigs of free, fast, reliable spam free email, streaming video, a superior map service, eliminating my need for expensive office software, a free phone number (666-taco \0/), the ability to dodge a facebook/myspace account, a rock solid reliable fast browser, a 3d modeling program, and countless other things, all for free.
Its rather unfortunate how many people run adblock's these days.
Anyone remember netzero? Sure, i paid for my 33.6 connection back then, but they were kinda awesome for free, its too bad everyone adblocked that too, and forced them to start charging. |

I remember pointing this out \o/
Still have a screenshot of it on my hdd somewhere, i remember i noticed it when commenting on the Mirrors Edge trailer. Jesus that was a while ago. _____________________________________ Haruhiist since December 2008
