alright youtube. that's e-fucking-nough already
i mean - i get that you grew too big for your britches. i get that you were created by a little fish that suddenly found themselves in a pond with piranhas and sold out to let them deal with the headache. i'd have done the same
you stayed pretty much the same but as peoples egos caught on and the lure of instant fame grew the growing pains started -
first - a few ads here and there...on the sidebar...at the bottom the screen
then came the ever present and HUGE movie trailer on the main page
then i noticed vevo getting more and more music videos - good for a bit
now vevo feels like big brother somehow
MORE IMPORTANTLY - NOW, youtube, you've got freaking ads between every single freaking video on every single playlist. and not a variety of ads. oh no. that would be too thoughtful - instead lets drive it into their minds like brainwashing for idiots
the same fucking commercial. over and over and over and over and over
the viking was ready to break the computer.
calm down, i said - i'd read about some youtube commercial blocker somewhere in the past week and decided to go find it. how very nice of firefox to come up with an add on for that. i can't remember the name and neither can the viking but it was something snappy. anyway it works, but forget streaming videos. can't just start a playlist and get to work unfettered. we are now being punished for our tenacity and determination not to have that add - or any ad - force fed to us ever again
so they'll make it a pain in the ass to use youtube and eventually get rid of us to pay us back for chucking the commercial brainwashing
i can't believe of the marketing world has taken the net by storm in the last 2 years. yeah yeah it's always been there. but i was on the net when it was an apple in your tech dude's virtual eye and stuff like IM or youtube or twatter or any of it existed. (and we had to walk barefoot 6 miles to get to a computer that took way too long to change sites)(and we liked it)
the point is..it's out of control people. and we just let em
go ahead...take over every site, every show, every social networking place
tell me to buy your female products and shoes and cars
just like on tv. pretty soon you couldn't watch a show without 4 8 minute interruptions and a football game of 2 hours took 4. what a joke. now you can't watch a show on hulu without the same
but hey, i can take it -
took it all my life didn't i
up until the constant commercials and hateful shock value news drove me to quit tv for 5 or 6 years. got it back this year due to teenage bribery. and feeling like i was messing with their minds somehow for them to not know what family guy and ...other ...random ..nonsense, was all about. let them fit in a little better by knowing. anyway. that is another story. i still don't watch the tv....and...
the net is mine dammit. (not in the al gore way...more in a creepy lurker kind of way) it's my freedom and solace and my choice of what i see for news. my choice. that's the point - isn't it. the net is about having so much control at your fingertips. now it's dissolving on the net.
and the marketing genius' at youtube decide that the world will not be right until we are all gagging to death on insurance commercials right before the holidays
thanks youtube guys. you've stolen another piece of what was the peoples and gave it to the exploiters
cheers
now i have to listen to pandora
