    YouTube

    bad quality? often.
    awesome stuff? often.

    face it, youtube is a pretty damn good way of getting everything from news clips to shows to stupid shit to show your friends. And as such it's going to be around for a while.

    figured this could be a general place to post other Youtube videos, aside from "Funny Videos"... but maybe this topic should just be merged with that one?

    Well, anyway, i just read an article from the BBC and it has some major implications for anime availability on youTube.

    YouTube cuts 30,000 illegal clips

    apparently Japanese media companies asked Google (who recently bought Youtube) to try to destroy illegal clips there, as alot of things leeched on youtube have come from japan...

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    Meh, I only use YouTube for quick reference or if I am to lazy to download the episode. They have been cracking down though. I couldn't watch a couple episodes of yugioh gx because they had been removed by YouTube.

    anime on youtube is ... well ... stupid. It's already available for free on the internet, why do you need to chop it up and stream it via flv?

    ... I never really got that. Maybe it's an instant-gratification thing or something.

    The only time I use YouTube is to watch Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series and some funny videos. I never use it much but its really popular right now with a lot of people.

    I'd guess that's exactly what it is. Oftentimes I've come across raws for a lot of series, so it's probably the case that a lot of people recording them just slap them on youtube the night they air.

    And I guess if people don't want to take up harddrive space with subbed episodes, they just fullscreen the videos and watch each part consecutively.

    Or they don't want to take/have the time to download it.

    i never thought of youtube as one of the biggest threat for things like media. i'd always think it's places like mininova or certain things like that, but youtube? eh, whatever.

    i guess they have their reasons and so fourth. i've always thought youtube was a branch off of a bigger tree, but eh.

    Well, to whoever gave me this neg rep that hit for 19 HP, Do I just suck in general? Or do I suck because I like YouTube?

    "Meh, YouTube ownz. Theres alot of pointless crappy stuff there, but other than that. It is the fing shiznite.

    Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series Ftw!?"

    "Thought I let you know that you suck, but you probably know it already."

    Well, just so you know, You suck and shallow.

    Back on topic, I like youtube well because it really doesn't look all that crappy on my new flatscreen, and theres no wait so...

    Edit: Also, heres another reason I love YouTube. Watch the video. Need I say more? xD

    Ftw?! Whoever did this has got wayy too much time on their hands

    (Now, if I had a nickel for every.....)

    On a sidenote, here's a neat program i found a while ago enables you to download streaming media from youtube, video google etc

    It's a mozilla plugin so firefox is required http://javimoya.com/blog/youtube_en.php

    Forgot some files are needed to be saved in flash ".flv" format, here's a free converter i recommend. It can handle most formats including .flv

    To me YouTube represents the changing face of digital broadcasting and distribution of media. It's a small glipse of what the future holds. Alot of crap but lots of interesting stuff.

    Hell, I don't know if any of you have ever bothered to check the anime art thread but the project I'm working on (the one that's in my sig) is almost done. Well at least the first episode is. I'm working on sending it to my friend who will post it on youtube. I'll post a link here once it's finished. Look foward to it!!!

    I watch YouTube in uni. Because I have limited bandwidth on my home internet.

    Usually I catch up on my television serieses, like Survivor Cook Island, and some other anime's which I couldn't be bothered to download like Naruto (bloody fillers).
