discuss.
what i gather is that the the pro is people's sharing seperate cultures and people increasing their music interests.

con: google seems to be become some kind of monopoly...monopolies are illegall. also there's the copyright infringement.

My friend Vasily said it best : "the Youtube community is the biggest bunch of meanies I've ever seen"

I've never had any problems with YouTube. In fact, I just uploaded a video there about five minutes ago.

Read that and tell me your still concern with the industry being ripped off.

I like it. Sometimes I watch TV episodes on there.

I can't come across one video without seeing a very harsh comment, or even a positive comment with a swear word, or that spam 'copy and paste this message onto three other videos or you will die!'. I like the fact that you can search for anything and the exact thing you're looking for comes up, though. And some of the homemade stuff can be very funny, or very interesting.

Also, did Google really pay $1.65 Bn for YouTube?
And are some of the videos there even legal?

Being a vlogger is more pathetic than being a blogger. That's why the community there is bad. In fact, what kind of pompous prick thinks we want to watch him painfully slowly verbalize his ideas?

And I HATE those videos that are like slide shows with words. I don't need text broken down into one phrases and shown 1 by 1 at a horrendously slow pace. Just write it in a damn text-box and post it somewhere so I don't have to spend 10 minutes reading 3 sentences. This is why I hate vloggers and their lame videos. Vlogging is pointless.

I like the videos. I just don't like the community.
