Aside from this fag talking about how youtube has changed because of drama, i want to talk about the actual changing of youtube

Before youtube became a business it was built on people filming shit in their basement and dicking off with WMM and it was probably the best time for it. The way the algorithms are now i find it almost impossible to find any channel that is worth watching. im not a complete hipster. I like a lot of the bigger channels but i miss watching videos like this one guy i used to watch. It was just some dude with long hair and a beard with multiple personality disorder and he would just talk about his day and tell stories about his life. I loved that shit. Ive since lost his channel and i actually doubt he does it anymore or has killed himself by now. I just miss being able to fuck off and find all kinds of weird videos that werent cancer ridden.

youtube feels weird to me now. Does anyone else have any feelings like this or do i just suck at finding content now?

I can relate, OP. Back then in around 2009, the general youtube community didn't seem terrible to me. Today, I won't even look at the comments, not even on a dare. Also, most of the youtubers I knew back then had took a turn to the cancerous.
Also, Google+ is useless.

I agree, the whole thing with "Youtube personalities" is retarded and a nice and easy way of making sure you get a good 50mil followerbase of 12 year olds who are into lel screaming slenderman xdddd , and all you have to do is pull on an act of a downie with borderline and adhd
This shit has clogged up the whole site and infected/become standard for ANY new or aapiring youtuber to also do, literally the only way to get views at all

But hey what do I know? "I dont like da change hurr durr times must move on"

Contd. This whole situation basically clogs up the entire website of videos and all you see is pandering from youtube themselves to change how their site works to only show these kinds of shit

Oh yeah, don't forget the people who color their hair for a bullshit reason and post a video about it to show off.

see the way it works now is it shows you videos from channels you go on more until eventually you start to only see a few pop up. That makes it hard for people who just do it as a hobby but still want their shit to be seen. i have 89 subscriptions on my account and i only see 4 or 5 of them because they are the ones that post a video 2-3 times a week.

Due to this its really fucking impossible to get anywhere without piggybacking on other popular YT fads or letsplayers personalities, etc nowadays unless you probably buy subs and pretend they matter, or force yourself to spam the living shit out of other channels comments and pray that some poor faggot decides to watch your videos even once

YouTube was always a business. Do you mean before it was acquired by Google and monotized to the public?

My account is 10 years old now, and like every other social media site (Facebook, Sup Forums, YouTube, boing boing - Reddit - digg) that started around that time they've all dropped in quality a bit

We've adapted too much since their releae and molded these into modern times, they're not niche anymore which is what made them special in the first place.

That just happens. It always happened, and it always will happen with any social construct and mass media platform.

The best you can do is find out what new big thing is before it becomes big and enjoy it before the,

>normie ruin it

afterthought idea. ive been smoking more weed and watching youtube videos of a few people that i fairly enjoy. and when i do i kinda gain a perspective and think of it and realize what these people are doing. Theyre sitting alone in their house or in a room thats isolated from others and talking into a camera for hours to get the right lines and not fuck up. they are molding themselves around their audience. and sure not every "youtube personality" shows their true self but or hardly any of them do but there is no way you cant tell me that these people dont have something a little fucked inside because they try and please an unfathomably huge range of people and it starts to become an actual life problem. its crazy to think that these people are making videos and at some point its all going to come crumbling down and its going to make that person miserable. after a while it stops being a hobby and can have true real life consequences. thats pretty mental to me man

its odd to me looking at it from another angle.

No I know what you mean. Now most famous channels are professionally done such as Markiplier recording in someones studio, even his later videos u can tell his reactions are so fake compared to his older stuff that felt more natural.

Also public pranks: I remember a channel in 2007 (forgot name) that used to act out game characters in public.

That was the best ever watching compared to pranks now that have got so fake, mainly only sexual stuff.

If you follow any "youtuber", you are the dictionary definition of cancer.

Pewdiepie is the original cancer of YouTube.

Hope we can all agree on that.

It's because it's more and more of a business, yes. In the old days they promoted channels regardless of number of subscribers or whatnot. But now YouTube wants to make money, so they're really only going to promote and suggest channels that advertise. Well, you can't monetize your videos until you have a certain number of subs. How do you get noticed and get subs? Luck. Come from another social media platform first. Get a shout out from an already established channel.

Are there still people out there making videos for fun? Sure. But the market of talent is over saturated, so they get buried. And it will only get worse from here.

I hate =3 so much. I also hate Onision

And here you are in the cancer capital faggo

ALSO I youtube's copyright policy is FUCKING annoying!

I used to have a channel where I created live moving comic like scenes using a doctor who audiobook.

I got like 10,000 views on it.

NOW youtube fucking removed it and gave me a copyright strike morning.

It is so hard to make fan related stuff now on that site.

Aw... markiplier donned the SJW uniform, now he has strong feelings... hahaha what a faggot.

Good point of view weedbro, these people make videos for a living and most quit their actual jobs to do it. But most of them inhibit fucking disgustingly rancid personalities that i cant wait for and will smile at one day when as you say it comes crumbling down.

>he listens to doctor who audiobooks

Kek, are you gay or something? Shouldn't you be on tumblr?

>pewdiepie starting out wasnt even that bad.
he just got lucky as all fuck, started to understand how to make it work better and better for him and saw and opportunity and took it.

>he doesnt give a fuck about being called a faggot while hes making literally millions of dollars from youtube

Not as cancerous as being a red haired SJW

Block all the shitty channels that youtube crams down your throat and forces into your suggestions. It takes time and literally 100 or so blocks but eventually youtube will just be shit that actually interests you and not pewdiepie and horrible "Top10 most" lists.

To block a channel go into the channel you want to block's main page
click "about"
then click on the little flag icon

I try to block a few shitty channels every day. After a few weeks of this youtube is pretty awesome again. Sometimes it takes a few hours for your blocks to take effect. Block channels will still appear right after you block them.

Same shit, different toilet

you shouls watch the last vid crazy colossal made

Here's the thing.

In order to maintain a copyright, you have to prove that you are actively protecting and using it. That's why these companies go to YouTube. They can send one cease and desist or downright take down a video, and as long as they have the paperwork, they can keep the copyright. It sucks, but it is what it is man.

I stopped listening to them.

Do feel bad my friend who is the biggest doctor who buff spent $50 on one for my bday

I've watched virtually non of his videos but those who hate on him to an extent are just so jealous.

>45m subs
>clears seven figures a year
>sits in front of a webcam for some hours a week

He obviously has a fucking amazing life even if his content is for retarded 10 year olds who will all create a sense of social security at the age of 30 for our generation to pay

I think you mean Mega64. Never laughed so much before:D

Are there any video tubes on deepweb?

If someone made one on there to upload all fan stuff then that would be the best.

All fanedits people could watch together.

Holy shit did not actually know blocking a channel meant their videos = gone from you

Youre my savior for the hope of a better youtube even if its something i have to do myself so it doesnt have any outside effect

>guise we have to go on the deepweb so we can watch our homoerotic fanfic videos cause the yootoob keeps taking them down!

youtu.be/acDcK9w5oeI

does anyone remember that down syndroms cops channel? he was funny AS FUCKKKK

Who did that?

I hate how fake "YouTubers" have become. It shouldn't be a surprise, but it just disappoints me for some reason.

Yup thats them

has anyone seen the idubbbz roast video of this kid...opinions?

You can literally fuck off
>but muh million subs
No he is still fucking shit. Only 14 year olds watch him

>filming things in their basement
>mfw

Fucking kek'd

Yup, when you block them they literally won't even show up on your screen any more or on any sidebars. They are gone.

You can still go to their videos or main page if you click a link to it, but it won't pop up as a suggestion or in the sidebar anymore.

Unfortunate fact. This is why he contributes to a canceroua community only out to make $$$ since Google bought YT

Homoerotic fanfic?

Um no user I mean fanedits.

Have u heard of fanedit.org? No of course u havent.
I want a site where u can watch all fanedits

I really nned to know
I need the nostalgia
my life sucks I just need his channel please anyone

It all went downhill when Google took over. FUCK GOOGLE+, FUCK COPYRIGHT "Rules", FUCK GOOGLE! They are almost as bad as Microsoft/Apple

it's fucking ridiculous, you happen to watch one video, then you're inundated with 3489353938 channels.

Youtube is only good for finding music, well it used to be seeing as they remove videos/channels the next day after liking a vid. I'll like a video, or add a video to my playlist, then the next day if I go look for it, it and the channel are removed. So, any time I try to save a song and it's removed soon after, I go torrent it.

Hilarious. Always funny to see people who are better at putting things into words than I am put things into words.
Spot on with all of his criticisms, and telling him to kill himself was just the cherry on top. Amazing.

there is lot of quality content man, just have to know where to look. Check out GradeAunderA or Jacksfilms, they are awesome

Fucking hilarious

there is nothing i like watching on youtube anymore, youtube was the best in 2008 for me, stupid, weird, random, clever channels. now its just a retarded tv channel for kids, and people that call themselves " youtubers " should kill themselves, also when i see some youtuber put "actor,director" on their facebook page i get aids and wanna vomit

i edited and uploaded something as a joke a year after youtube started and it got over a million views. now it doesn't matter what i upload - the site always gives certain people an unfair advantage so your videos are virtually invisible.

Yeah my GF played a single One Direction video and I was drowning in boy band suggestions for a fucking week. It's annoying as fuck.

>mfw just the other month, a link which had about 200 fanedits of movies was taken down and they are all lost forever.

I even lost my downloaded copy of Batman Forever: Red Book edition which improved the movie so much.

>fuck my fucking worthless life

I thought =3 was good before Ray quit. Now it's like a shittier CollegeHumor

So why can't you watch them on fanedit.org

Yep. Youtube "commercialised". Makes me wonder what else could be............................

Get a download plugin for your browser. You can directly download videos you like so you have them on your hard drive when they get deleted. I save all my favorite stuff.

thank you sir.

>he unironically liked =3
>he even liked rwj

What's it like having absolute shit middle school-tier humor?

Read
There used to be a back door link cos fanedit.org was banned from showing them to the public.

But recently i guess the governments found the backdoor link and closed them all.

Every single fanedit is off the net basically and especially that batman forever edit is gone forever.

GradeA is the shit.

this has made me very happy. thank you

If you don't think Dunkey is funny you're a retard.

just got done watching it. I really like it. and his channel seems pretty neat. gonna be watching his other stuff shortly

Seconding this. Copyright protection is legally a use-it-or-lose-it kinda thing.

Youtube God tier:
>Cringe compilations
>Someordinarygamers
>GradeAunderA

Good tier
>ASMR videos
>Music, music covers
>horror gaming

Shit tier
>Pewdiepie
>Minecraft Gaming
>Public pranks

Nah, the ones i've seen download/convert to shit quality, and if you want anything above 128kbps audio, you gotta pay for the plugin. Fuck that.

If i want the album, i'll torrent it, if I want just one track, I'll go to this site and get it at 320kbps

>horror gaming
>asmr videos
>"good tier"
>gradeaundera "god tier"

It's too easy to tell when someone is underage

It's 2016 and people just realized YouTube has changed?

I've noticed this "change" since 2010.

As a matter of fact, here's a video straight from 2011 about the then current state of YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=apr0wEAKk3s

Listentoyoutube has the best mp3 quality.

>mfw I bought an album and only the uncensored version is on youtube
WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK

Retarded Policeman

Funny because that series got pretty popular, had guests like Smosh and what not, yet the idea would never fly in today's PC society

Asmr videos is the ultimate shit

>ASMR videos
Fucking retarded shit. It's just people smacking their lips and making the air bubbles in their mouths pop while whispering which sounds like people have a mouth full of wet cat food and people are sexually aroused by this.

No, ive just never really posted about it

No i like watching back tracing videos.

The most relaxing shit ever

m.youtube.com/watch?v=jyYPJoxEwEo

OK, i didnt get anything from this video. I dont think anyone did. Im guessing his point was this though?
>Don't watch drama channels because if you make them popular, then any youtuber has the potential to have their reputation and livelihood ruined!

or more like this

>Don't watch drama channels because there isn't any creativity in them?
i can think of quite a few popular video types that people do that have 0 creativity also, but because all big youtubers "respect each other" he didnt want to call them out

Does anyone like boogie or nah?

Watch GradeA's review on it instead

m.youtube.com/watch?v=6AKPp0tZhjY

What the fuck there's nothing relaxing about this it's just weird as hell

Anyone else watch the GradeA Under A video on it? (Pick unrelated)

markipliers video was absolute trash. there was no content to it at all and it didnt make sense.

i do, but not nearly as much as i used to

fuck off boogie

I honestly can't tell, he popped up on my feed randomly a few weeks ago, it was his reaction to santoro's abuse video, after watching that and a couple of his weight videos I thought he was a super cool guy and totally inspirational, so I subscribed, but now I'm starting to realize he has a very unique sense of humour lol

>weird
Says the guy who prob likes dick rate threads

Here watch another. I imagine i am the grill
m.youtube.com/watch?v=hRsdMg1P5No

He's a faggot, he pretends like he's super objective and unbiased but he chooses sides in basically every video he does/

The whole point of doing an independent news show is to not be biased, so he sucks.

YouTube Gods of Olympus tier:
>Trollbait/Satire cringe
>Anti-SJW channels
>iDubbbzTV
>Non-Leafy video commentators

>you don't like asmr? you must like dicks!

How insecure are you in your interests that you attack someone who doesn't like what you like?

...

Oh, well my bad.

I just find it weird that people are noticing that YouTube has "changed" when YouTube really hasn't been the same for years.

I did watch his vidoe. and while I dont think he is wrong, he didnt really have a cohesive point that I can remember other than why we shouldnt take them seriously. Of course, to be fair, none of them really made a point to begin with that could be rebuttled. so I guess GradeAunerA didnt need to say much else

opinions on sleepcycles and northernlion

youtube.com/user/sleepcyclesgaming/videos

youtube.com/user/Northernlion/videos

I agree. I hated how he criticised Leafy and praised H3H3 when H3H3 is just as guilty of making videos offending people.

>anti-sjw channels
Rageaholic is pretty damn good.

Fuck boogie and his anti-fat shaming crybaby videos.

Waaaaah I eat 20,000 calories a day, I can't help it!

youtube.com/watch?v=54uSD67M-Zo

That moment when u go back and look at ur liked playlist and so many videos have been deleted

Leafy is just a bully. H3H3 at least goes after people who deserve it.

I think the problem is bigger than youtube changing into a business.

The problem is normies, and the world quickly building up around th
em. Every service and community is turning for the worse as companies cater more and more to normies in hopes for getting a some of the money normies are so eager to stack up.

YouTube "personalities" are useless creatures with NPD.

Good YouTube content almost never mentions its creator.

You cucks are spineless, any video and any person that exposes themselves through YouTube is open to criticism.

the fucking struggle man. ive lost so much music due to this. before i wised up and started downloading at least shitty versions so i can remember what they were later and find better quality ones

yeah m8. i dont really post on here much. its been a little over a year since ive even posted a reply. been lurking intermittently for some time though

OP here, although its unavoidable. this is the kind of shit i was talking about where its just a bunch of fanboys following people that couldnt give a fuck less about them now it seems like a weird place where nobody is having fun anymore but they have to do it because all dat glorious YT cash and it would be a personality destroying life changing event to quit youtube.

He has been through a lot of shit, i personally admire him.
