It really seems like it is time to scuttle youtube. I'm serious, they keep trying the whole "it's not us, it's your isp" bs to explain why their service is all janky and glitchy even though other services work perfectly fine, and they keep pulling all kinds of bullshit moves, while also not really being all that great of a service and UI if we are honest with ourselves. Google has been mucking around with YouTube and its UI for basically a decade now without any real significant improvements. Things are even more fractured and disparate than before, the suggestions are just plain shit, and the content is akin to finding a needle in a pile of expended hypodermic needles.

I am really kind of bored with youtube for many reasons. I think it's time for the artist community, and others, for that matter, to find new outlets.



We're working on building a creator-friendly video community at vid.me... would love any suggestions / ideas / feedback.


You aren't serving ads, and provide free accounts. What's your model?


nice question. grow first, monetize later I fear


I hope more people realise this and you give YouTube a run for its money.

I would support you.

... But I do like watching videos on my Apple TV.
