Title: YouTube Celebrates 1 Billion Subscriptions
Post by: pokeplayer984 on October 29, 2010, 09:39:41 AM
Today is a happy day for YouTube!  Just hours ago, the "Subscribe" button was clicked for the billionth time.  Wow!  One billion subscriptions. :)

I knew YouTube would eventually hit this mark.  After all, it is THE most popular Video Sharing Site across the entire internet.  That good old Subscribe button has done a lot for it.

Anyways, to celebrate this momentous occasion, YouTube has a widget for all of those who have a website or blog.  The widget allows your website or blog to have this amazing little button.  So, for those that want to add it, here's the code.

Code:  on  
<iframe id="fr" src="http://www.youtube.com/subscribe_widget?p=[add YouTube Username here]" style="overflow: hidden; height: 105px; width: 300px; border: 0;" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0"></iframe>

Congrats to YouTube!  Keep it up!

See ya guys later! :)

YouTube forces you to have an Google Account.

No congratulations from me. My big rant:

Screw Youtube. Screw Youtube and their hypocritical bull! Screw Youtube for constantly screwing over the Speakonia community and Littlekuriboh! Screw Youtube for their horrible decisions and their double standards! So this guy, one of my favorite Youtubers http://www.youtube.com/user/CaptainJeffThe2nd (http://www.youtube.com/user/CaptainJeffThe2nd)  can't do a video of Drew Pickles going to Afghanistan but Shane Dawson can make fun of Martin Luther King's speech?

1 billion subscribers is 1 billion too many for Youtube.

I don't get what's wrong with someone going to Afghanistan.  THAT has got to be the most messed up rule ever!

Still, I have reasons for using YouTube, sadly.  Otherwise, I would give it up in a heartbeat. -_-

You don't need a google account for youtube.  My youtube and google accounts remain unconnected.

When I created my youtube account, it said I had to create a google account first :crazy , I never use it though. Only the youtube account.

Just use your email account to make one. It's not that hard.

And google accounts weren't necessary for YT accounts before. Now they are.
