he_who_is_nobody said:You must have missed where it says Blogger below my handle. click on my signature and have a read of my blog found on this website. Again, I do not care and I do not see why anyone would care where their content is being hosted at. The world is flat when it comes to matters such as this.
I think I didn't notice the blogger title or didn't know what it meant, and I certainly didn't notice the link in your signature.
he_who_is_nobody said:Okay. However, if those are problems, one could always post videos to YouTube, close their comment section, and embed the videos in a forum like this. There are ways around both of those problems, if indeed they are problems, that cost nothing.
That doesn't address the other problems with YouTube, which is basically the online equivalent of a nanny state.
he_who_is_nobody said:My guess would be because they [clause containing obscenity not quoted] wanted everyone to be able to enjoy their site. Charging a fee, no matter how low you think it might be, can and does exclude people from your sites experience. It could also be they were competing against other video sharing sites and their model of free access won out in the end.
What other video sharing sites, other than google video, already existed before YouTube? Where was YouTube founded, and how liberal are most of the people's of that area, compared to the global English community, and most mainland Europeans? Charging a fee would mostly exclude those who aren't serious about complying with applicable law, that must be a good thing. If one is serious about observing applicable law, along with terms of use and community guidelines, one is more likely to join without perceiving a waste of money.
And again, I already noted that free access, in addition to enable people to enjoy the site without fearing the consequences of an illegal act, comes at the expense of running at a possibly huge loss.
he_who_is_nobody said:Myrtonos said:What I meant is that that vlogger has posted in these forums, and that (as she has said elsewhere) has had issues with the content to noise ratio on YT, and yet she doesn't like blocking people or removing comments.
You obviously did not read the section from me you quoted above this. I already acknowledged this point, pointed out that a few of the people I follow on YouTube did the same, yet none of them have quit. You would think that if you actually believed in this plan, you would contact these contributors and try your idea out. In order for your idea to succeed, you will need several of the big names from YouTube to follow you.
I'm not sure what "did the same" means in this case, same as that well known Danish blogger?
Is there anyone here registered on Something Awful?
