Too many try hards uploading generic content to appease the masses. Just for the all mighty dollar. I miss the old YouTube where people just posted poo poo they were passionate about without regard to production value and all that poo poo. It was more real and more interesting.

What do you guys think?

Yeah, I agree. I also hate how we have to go through 30 seconds of some overly done cinematic intro just to get the the content and then they talk about all the merchendise they have for sale before actually getting to the content. I just wanted to know more about this SSD I don't want to listen to your marketing bullshit.

well i mean we only watched the cartoons on Saturday morning but i mean lets face it, kids today are either gonna be watching TV, calling each other faggots over CoD or watching youtube and i think the last option is the best one.

Yeah man how dare people use their time and resources to create wonderfully entertaining videos for other people and then get rewarded for their art they should just poo poo out any old poo poo with no actual incentive to make it any good.

I like how I used to use it to play nature sounds or episodes of How It's Made to help me fall asleep only to be woken up 20 minutes later to the blaring sounds of Nikki Minage because everything automatically continues since a few months ago.

Yeah man totally, also all Hollywood movies should only be allowed to use a budget of $10 and all the special effects should have to be out of cardboard because then they would all be so good. You're so smart.

this would, unironically, improve the substance of hollywood movies, but only a little because hollywood is a vestigial appendage of north american culture and hesitant to actually say anything worth listening to

salaries might take a hit, however

That's exactly what I want though. YouTube has become a bunch of tryhards who only care about releasing content that will maximize their profits. I don't give a poo poo about production value, I just want to watch someones honest take on a particular product. You can't do that when your sponsors are breathing down your neck.

Youtube was better when I could set a default resolution.

I'd like to say good things about new youtube, but if I do, they'll remove them.

I enjoy the endless stream of "hay guys check out this video" comments crosslinked from Google+ because that is clearly relevant content that I'm interested in after I have finished watching said video.
