My guess is they're going to replace it with crowd-sourced annotations via heroes or some similarly flaming-pants-on-head handicapped method to raise ad viewership. --- Quote from: Master Matthew² on March 16, 2017, 08:53:51 PM ---Youtube is Drama Whoring...

They'll do this, then the internet will move on and forget, in the mean time this will boost publicity. We saw this with YouTube Heroes, and we've seen this with every YouTube Political Biased event, such as the featured "Celebrities tell you not to vote for Annoying Orange." situation, and the one where the "I'm Gay" meme spawned from. They do controversial, and sometimes, downright obviously stupid things because it brings the spotlight on them. They've clearly adopted the "There is no such thing as bad publicity" mentality. --- Quote from: Hansome duded on March 16, 2017, 09:03:19 PM ---youtube is pretty much the #1 when it comes to a video sharing service, i dont think they need any more attention? --- End quote --- Well, I think YouTube is preparing to have a Information war with Television. Just like how TV battled with the Movie Industry Or how Video Killed the Radio Star I foresee Youtube taking down the likes of even Comcast and Time Warner Cable, if google play's their card's right. Many don't know it or realize it, but Google is clearly readying up for a Cable Network Takeover. Google Fios, the massive spreading of vastly superior Internet Connections. Google is staying dormant, lying in the grass, and one day, when the time is right, they will strike. ON THE OTHER HAND. YouTube is currently trying to bait the younger crowd into taking Interest in YouTube and complaining about errors they've made, and I'm sure youtube will Undo these stupid mistakes if they make it far enough to battle Cable Companies, but they're doing this to create an artificial environment to improve as a means of battling Cable Companies. Most of the features that Youtube is Removing, are ones that Cable companies don't even provide in the first place. Cable companies are limited to what content they can show you, Youtube is not. Unfortunatly this is a bittersweet situation for me. If YouTube Falls, Comcast wins, and I loving hate Comcast. If Comcast Falls, and Youtube wins, Youtube will become as scummy as Comcast. |
