youtube is so gay

**MBH** · 01-07-2009, 01:35 PM

I got an email last night reading the following. IMO its just the icing on the cake. As if the large mass of morons and 12 year olds posting on youtube wasn't enough... now there is this.

If you wanna spare yourself the reading, they deleted a video of mine because I used the beginning of Smashing Pumpkins' Doomsday Clock

fwiw, I'll be setting my video on youtube to "greensleeves" as I noticed it was one of the awesome songs I could choose

I dont know which is more ridiculous, the fact that they sent you that message or the fact that the "man" who sent it has the screenname tubesteaks.

**MBH** · 01-07-2009, 01:42 PM

oh I just quoted it as tube steaks as in you tube ... I'd cry if that was their emailer name LOL

but currently my video is "no longer available due to a copyright claim by a third party" on the youtubes

**MBH** · 01-07-2009, 01:44 PM

I'm sure that there have been many more before me. I've clicked on a few links and that came up. Most of the time people just reup the vid just as it was lol

The thing that I don't understand is why they are doing it? I'm not turning any profit for myself, just for youtube. In the mean time, people hear a song that they might like and say o hey, maybe I'll buy that from iTunes or whatever.

Maybe I'll buy an HD camera & just post to vimeo.com or post to streetfire.net from now on (although I hate the ads that every video on streetfire gets placed at the bottom of the video).

**2001GTTT** · 01-07-2009, 03:22 PM

Bo, my man, when you "click here" it says "SCREW YOU"!! lol.

**blizzard** · 01-07-2009, 03:25 PM

HA! i tried clicking there too d'oh!

**MBH** · 01-07-2009, 03:46 PM

I only use Streetfire for my stuff that I want to share to a wider audience or direct link. Beyond that I just upload to my Webshots page and link to it (athough I guess you can now direct link from there too).
