Don't Log Into Youtube: 12/19

[GiantDouche]

Don't log into YouTube on 12/19/2008 to protest the new facist rules that they are imposing to censor videos. Here is what is basically happening, if a video is in a high ranking, it will be "algorithmically demoted" if it has profanity or any sexual references. This is bullshit. Censorship is bullshit. Fuck YouTube for making these ridiculous policies. Show that you care about this ridiculous shit that is going on by doing one of the simplest things ever, just don't go to YouTube on the 19th at all. YouTube earns money on a pay-per-click system, if nobody goes on YouTube or views the videos they will realize how this will effect them later on. YOUtube is quickly becoming FUCKTube. Show you care even if you don't.

The bullshit policies in detail, it's near the bottom, CTRL+F "a youtube for all of us"

[Straight-Edge]

Would you rather have the FCC do all the censoring for them?

[blah569]

Ah, that's interesting. I wonder if YouTube will change their polices if people do Boycott them.

[bodom-child]

theres always live leak, and hundreds of other sites like it.

[Harmonik]

They'll still do it, Youtube is full of fail waiting to happen. But I guess I'll still do it just for the hell of it.

[lawlmaster]

And who would believe such a giant douche?

[Randominator]

Only nerds care about this shit

YouTube is undoubtedly the most popular. And at least 80% of the content on it contains some form of profanity or sexual content. Doesn't seem like you go on it much, thank you for your participation.

Quoted directly from your sig where something funny is supposed to be, "There is the theory of the moebius. A twist in the fabric of space where time becomes a loop, where time becomes a loop, where time becomes a loop, where time becomes a loop" Go jack off to a dictionary or something. This is serious.

...FUCK YOU.

[agnryscotsman]

Yeah, aren't they now banning anything that has guns or knives or violence on it? that just deletes the whole fucking purpose. "Post anything! as long as it doesn't have violence, dangerous objects, profanity, sexuality, offensive humor, memes, or anything mildly interesting. HAVE FUN!!11!!1!" yeah right. Youtube can go fuck itself.

No, as I said; only nerds care about this shit . Get a life

[CutTheCheese]

Yeah Youtube got ruined.
I have family visiting on the 19th so Ill be a little busy anyways.

[chiefindomer]

I probably wouldn't have gone on YouTube that day anyway. I don't get on it that much really. It's still dumb to censor like that, YouTube doesn't have anything that bad on it anyway.

[AlphaCentauri]

But... if I can't get on youtube on the 19th, how will I ever be able to show all my friends and family such interesting videos as Fancy Walking.

Only nerds use youtube...? Newgrounds, perhaps...but youtube? Fail.

[Ocean]

This is pretty sad.
I love youtube, and it is going to shit.
And i'm really not willing to switch to any other site.

[McPaper]

Anyone who ignores the ever growing monopolization and cencorship of the internet is only going to face regret in the future. I frankly like to choose what I want to see on the internet, not some man in a suit decide for me.

[cHunter]

You know organizing things like this don't work, right? Just like those "don't get gas on <date>" things. They never work.

[kirbykiller4]

youtube's been turned to utter shit anyway.

[Zerok]

I'm going to tell everyone I know to watch some random youTube video on the 19th just to negate your work here.

Haha.

[ZekeySpaceyLizard]

Oh no a shitty website bought out by a shitty conglomerate is getting a bunch of shitty conservative rules forced onto it!

We all knew this would happen eventually.

Soon the only things on youtube will be video blogs. Then it will merge with myspace and we'll all move onto a new video site. Then it will get popular. Then it will get bought out.

And the circle of life goes on.

Not at all. I just mean there's no point worrying about youtube regulations and that people who get worked up about this need to find something better to do...

[Chumbawamba]

What's not going to YouTube for ONE day going to do to YouTube? They won't have earned as much money for that one day.

How about not going to YouTube at all if you want change to happen? The bus boycotts didn't happen all in one day. Keep it ongoing, and if enough people buy into it, YouTube will have to change.

[Jackdabomb]

It's kind of saddening that these people ACTUALLY CARE

[Pokemonpoeguygcn]

Yeah! Down with censorship!!

[TheBananaboy]

Cool. I needed an excuse to not go on Youtube. I'll try to remember.

Haha.

i am SO in on your plan Zerok!

[AngryCat]

honestly, this seems like a "who cares" thing for me. who cares if youtube doesnt want videos with swear words to come up on the first page? i dont care if my favorite videos dont show up on the front page because there is cussing in them. i know where these videos are and will watch them as i please.

now what is bugging me about youtube is the load times. the videos have been taking very long to load lately. whether it be on youtube itself or an embedded video.
