Thread Name: YouTube have gone down the tube
Subject: RE: YouTube have gone down the tube
So life is good. It must be if we can devote energy to complaining about the flaws and unwelcome changes to things that we have for free :-) Don't get me wrong, I am not moralising, I know that I can be prone to this myself. But it's good to stand back once in a while and admire where we got to with the internet since it came to the wider world's attention in the mid- to late nineties.
As for YouTube itself, yes, I too dislike some of the changes. But I am also gratful for the amazing times it has given me already, from finding music from my distant past, seeing bands and artists I never saw live, seeing weird and wonderful things from all over the world... Not to mention the opportunity to promote my own music and to be put in touch with some lovely people as a result, from Ireland to Israel and from Greece to Japan. And I owe it all to YouTube being there and the millions of people who put up these videos for us to see.
Nah. Life IS good.
