I plan on leaving YouTube

And here's yet another reason to leave YouTube:

Quote

READ THIS IT REALLY WORKS!!
1st - put your hand on your chest
2nd- think of someone you like
3rd - tomorrow the person will ask you out or say "I LOVE YOU"
4th - th catch is to write this for 5 videos"

I really HATE these SPAM messages that I see far too often. I feel sorry for those that fall for this crap. -_-

Spam messages are everywhere. YT isn't the only place to have them. I've seen them before and I just ignore them.

True that they are everywhere, but they pop-up so often on YouTube that it's just insane. There are places that are better controlled with this issue. However, the mods of YouTube just let it happen. There's no control over it, and I don't like that one bit.

So on top of it happening so much, there's also the matter of there being no control over it. Which isn't all that hard to do really. -_-

Remember about a year in a half ago when I proclaimed that I hated Youtube? Well there was a reason for it. It's just not a good place. I never thought it was very good, but it just gets worse all the time.

I hate most free hosting places whether they provide file hosting, video hosting, or document hosting services. That's the #1 reason I put up my own server. Screw Youtube and all other big-shot places on the web that think they're so great that they can push their users around any way they please. <_<

The thing I don't understand is why Universal would have these guys deleting LBT FANMADE projects anyway. It's not like the films are being illegally distributed if only random film clips are used in a music vid. But, instead of considering the popularity such a series can gain by positive things about it being on Youtube, those rich capitalists are only worried about profits .

It is sad but technically these fanmade projects have been illegal since day one.

Let's say you made a movie. I saw your movie and thought some scenes would be cool for a music video. I then go posting my music video featuring scenes from your movie without your permission and I wouldn't expect you to be too happy. You may appreciate the gain in popularity but the fact still remains that I just randomly stole your work, even though my music video was free.

Whether I gave you credit or not, if I didn't ask for your consent to do this project, I wouldn't expect you to be entirely happy with what I did. Say for example you didn't like the song I put to it. You may not be happy with how your work is presented in my video. Again, whether this was good for your "profits"/popularity, if the work is not being presented how you wanted it to, you may or may not be happy with me just randomly taking your work and presenting it my way.

Then explain to me how ScrewAttack is allowed to sell the product in this video:

Because it's seriously breaking copyright rules.

ScrewAttack is a HUGE company; they probably have the rights from the video game producers to do this legally.

They probably can afford the rights too.

Ah yes, money talks! Just like Google did with YouTube's original creator. Know anyone who would turn down a $1.3 billion pay for their site? I'd definitely take that.

Jasper · **Reply #49 on:** May 28, 2009, 03:27:24 PM

Make it $13 billion then I'll take it.

Petrie. · **Reply #50 on:** May 28, 2009, 07:18:32 PM

Heck, I'd take $25,000 (cost of all the money I owe companies for getting me through school) and be happy to be debt free. Anything more is like a miracle anyway.

pokeplayer984 · **Reply #51 on:** June 02, 2009, 12:46:26 PM

Okay, I'm done thinking it over.

I shall do my best to put up some final videos and then me uploading on YouTube is officially over.

I shall keep my videos on there for as long as YouTube sees fit, and I'll keep my membership for as long as they see it as well. Not to mention still watch the videos there.

However, a special final video will be made. It will be made AFTER I'm done creating the LBT site I have in mind. Like my Blogger Video, it shall be made to advertise the site.

I've had a great career at YouTube, but all good things must come to an end.

So let the videos I've made be forever immortalized.

I'm going out on top. Wish me the best.

Good luck on your web site and your endeavors.

Noname · **Reply #53 on:** June 02, 2009, 03:29:49 PM

I wish you all the best. I'm sorry that you tube ended up like this... oh well. They can go too far sometimes. I think you had a very good run on that site.

pokeplayer984 · **Reply #54 on:** June 03, 2009, 12:22:05 AM

Wow, I was recently on YouTube checking my Videos and I think Universal might FINALLY be letting up.

The following four were marked for "Third Party Content" but were allowed to stay on and be viewed by everyone:

Could Universal have finally folded, or do they really not care anymore?

Either way, I'm going to test a little something. Let's see if a certain video that has always been rejected can be posted.

Noname · **Reply #55 on:** June 03, 2009, 12:27:02 AM

Just be careful; they seem to press charges against people at random, and I wouldn't want you to be the one who takes the fall for it.

Kor · **Reply #56 on:** June 03, 2009, 02:48:42 AM

Good uck on that. I hope it works out in your favor.

Pour gas on a fire if you want...I'll make sure I'm far away.

Ahhahahaha!

That made me laugh so hard! It's probably because the fever is getting to me though... :blink:

pokeplayer984 · **Reply #59 on:** June 03, 2009, 08:50:21 AM

Nope! Adventuring couldn't be posted. I should have known. -_-

See, this is another gripe I have with YouTube. Their copyright rules aren't completely clear on what can be posted. Why is it that nothing from LBT 10 can be posted, but everything else is okay? Why would they block that and nothing else?

It's been boggling my mind for the longest time. Why?
