In brutal honestly: I don't give a Rat's ass about it. Personally if it doesn't affect videos or the search engine on youtube, then I'm fine. Personally I think everyone is over-reacting about the whole update thing. Especially with some of the things I've seen.
autorunnable code.Oh man, when was this? Sounds like something I would've been interested in.

Hey, at least the new commenting system is better than those flipping bob comments
Y'know, the worst thing about it all is that they have no incentive to change it back to how it originally was, or to combine all the best elements of the previous years and mash 'em all together, because let's be honest, we'll never leave.
Many of you have probably heard of Youtube cracking down again on copyrights, mostly affecting gaming channels, network based and non networked based. Most disturbingly, this change allows any copyright enforcement company to automatically search videos for content, then flag the video for a copyright claim if it "violates" a copyright by using content without permission. Even if it's a few seconds of a clip of something, it can and will result in a claim. This, of course, is leading to trouble. Many gaming channels suddenly found themselves with copyright claims that were automatically claimed by Google and other 3rd parties. Angry Joe found himself with over 60 claims on some of his most viewed videos immediately after the copyright changes went into effect, and on his claims, it shows what copyright it violates, and it got quite ridiculous. His live interview with Tomb Raider got a copyright claim for using content from Tomb Raider, even though the people from tomb raider were fine with it. The penalty for these copyright claims are to pay a fine to the copyright holders, then carry on as if nothing happened.Also, to Ivory, who locked the topic that this was in, I thought that this topic was about the Google+ update. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
This topic has been all over Kotaku, Youtube, and other sites, and I must say, I really think Youtube is starting to take a turn for the worst.
Although one interesting thing that is becoming INCREDIBLY common with the 'judgement claim day' is false claims of music, especially tracks from people like Kevin MacLeod (whose music has been used by everyone from the Yogscast to me and is free to use provided it is given attribution). I know several YouTubers who have had companies claiming that they represent interests that own the rights to music like this and they managed to use YouTube's woefully bad ID system to nick all the ad money until the YouTuber can dispute the claim successfully.Well then.
Well then.
Looks like it's time to jump ship. Any suggestions?
Welp this just torpedoed my plans @_@ and theyre flagging user made games too!? I havent seen the new update but Im jumping ship too I guess @_@none of my stuff got flagged yet so i think as long as your channel is not monetized aka getting money from vids i think we're fine posting Mm8bdm for now

EDIT: After doing research, capcom is okay with there content being posted, not sure about zandronum but I think I might still be able post mm8bdm vids
A friend had pointed out to me that Google seemed to slowly degrade YouTube... First they gave you the option to make your channel boring, removing your individuality and ability to modify your channel, then they started to slowly change the layout.
Next thing you know, YouTube isn't just a video-sharing site, it's a full blown social network... probably did that 'cause it sells.
I'd assume that the options being removed was to make it more appealing for those who aren't computer savvy or don't understand settings/options very well.I really don't see how removing options could be a good idea in any way. Why wouldn't they organize them better, instead? Or just hide more advanced options unless one presses a button reading "advanced options" or something.

Well that's a terrible idea. I've found a retreat in the obscure. The fact that it used to be so complicated to work with gives me the joy of figuring things out for an entire afternoon. If you modify something for the mainstream then you'll lose your sense of individuality.
I've noticed that in most of the populated websites, they all look the same. The same "see more" buttons, the same interfaces; the same blank, white and grey backgrounds with very little color. Social networks are boring that way.
I actually like the other changes they've made. (as I've said prior to this post)
For some reason, now to do ANYTHING with any video in the "Favourites" playlist, you need to move the video up to be the first on the list.
And you no longer can select multiple videos to do one thing at once for all of them.
Nor can you automatically send all selected videos onto a new playlist.
So.... yeah. Splitting up my Favourites list into multiple playlists in order to have more space went from taking under an hour to taking over a week.
EDIT: And, for some even stranger reason, I cannot even to ANYTHING with any videos at spots 101 and below. :mad:
So I go to change my YouTube channel icon.
It tells me I have to do it on Google Plus.
Okay then. I change it there.
It says that it may take a few minutes to change
SEVERAL HOURS LATER
It hasn't (-_-)
Although it changed just fine if I look at my dashboard.
And the (mostly inaccessible, unusable) photos list in YouTube lists the new icon and the old icon too.
And it's fine on Google Plus as well.
Oh well, I'll just have to look in 12 hours, maybe that's long enough for YouTube to process a simple image replacement. (>_<)
EDIT: Oh, and also, I already tried logging out and logging in again, switching between accounts (which Google believes I need 3...), and CHANGING THE ICON 3 TIMES NOW.
On all the websites I'm on, I have changed to this icon (which I can't not use, help). YouTube is (and was) the only one that is putting up a fight to do it, and the only one that HASN'T changed!
Although, for those with small monitor sizes and resolutions, they might need to scroll back to the left and to the right just to see the rest of the video on the new small size.
wot m8? Your resolution would have to be around the size of a screen of a phone to not be able to accommodate a youtube video. Even if you did have that shitty of a screen, ctrl + (=) or ctrl + (-) can make the site larger or smaller.
Also, what if some guy is watching a video on YouTube when he's not supposed to? He'd be caught red handed so easily.
yeah because the whole idea of youtube it to be discrete.
Seriously though... "Theater Mode" is a stupid name for a screen size that just has black bars at the side. It's impractical.
It's a "light's off" button. If you prefer a darker view, and dislike fullscreen mode, this is right up your alley. Or if you're like me, you use the option because it centers the video on your screen. It isn't impractical, it's a fucking option.
Hell, lots of popular websites and services seem to be getting less and less practical and down-to-earth with each update issued. But we get used to it eventually, and when we do, they think that what they've done is in the right direction, so they continue down that path of impracticality.
If the changes implemented were truly impractical, wouldn't people still be complaining about the changes made long ago? You say that the changes are bad with no reasoning to back them up besides "they're bad", then you stop complaining about them once you've "gotten used to them". This isn't a matter of impracticality, it's matter of you not liking change.
Geno, we have it here in the states too.(Plus, I always have my browsers zoomed at 100%)

It isn't impractical, it's a fucking option.That makes sense, and I see how that could be useful for someone, but it's just odd how it doesn't actually cover the whole screen with the blackness, making "lights off" just seem like "black bars".
but it's just odd how it doesn't actually cover the whole screen with the blackness, making "lights off" just seem like "black bars".How impractical of them.
Although why they didn't have the old size options enabled with the cinema mode, I'll never know.Well hopefully, they'll patch that up...
It's not like adding an extra button would be THAT hard, right?
