You-Tube is forcing advertisements on videos to generate money.
I think it was way better without Google.

Yeh true, I dont think they would charge to put movies on there. But actually to watch them. Infact they might pay people to upload qulity movies to make more people put movies on there and making more money for them.

Honestly, If Google started charging for YouTube then it would cut down 95% of the FanBoy slop.
Its still a shame the YouTube might disappear though, free or not.

yeh I agree, i dont think they will end up making people pay because:

1. then they would be a different class to other video sharing sites such as meta cafe and veoh.
2. they would be classed as the same class as Hulu.
3. hulu and sites like it are already have established users.

In my opinion, they will add more ads, add more features and make it easier for people to use. they will prob make it more appealing for the average joe.

i could go one forever how much they are screwing up. maybe if they quit wasting money so much and charged us plus listened to us. they wouldn't be in this mess. they will start charging us it's just when they will. listening to your people is one of the first step. something they fail at miserably. giving your costumers what they want is the second step. for the most part they just really piss us off. if they don't change their attitude after i start paying i'm gone. the only reason i'm still there is because of all the friends i meet there. and i mean in person at event's and parties or just going over to their house. if it wasn't for that youtube would have been gone a long time ago. i still think its a great place. only because of how close i got to my friends there and no other reason at this point. peace. gregg

So right!
Youtube is talking to Sony about adding movies, I dont know whats gunna have. But what I do know is Google have to change there ways. They are loosing a lot of money.

If only they added some features to YouTube like:

on the channel have a place for twitter updates
on channel have place for post updates

and small thing like that would for sure give them a bigger audience as more bloggers would wanna join.

yes youtube has been losing big time. youtube has reported to make some switches to run like huhu or whatever it's called. as far as the average every day user like me that posts there. they haven't really shown me any ways to help us out. the blogger. even if i have to pay for my account because of the hundreds of videos even after i deleted hundreds of videos it will be worth it too me. my concern is if and when the prices to charge us come out will they be separated into categories and will some of my friends be driven off there from that. its sucks for us little guys that aren't bringing them in any money. partner forget it. most my video views come from other sites. one vid another site 16,000 views. my youtube account same video less then 50 views. what the heck. i told them they could run ads on my videos and i wouldn't want any money from that. like duh. peace. gregg
