Hey everyone !

So earlier today i had, well not really an argument,but a discussion with some friends about youtube..
You see i believe greece is a bit @$% on this matter.. You see only one every 4 people that use the website actually has an account and even less actually log in with it and use it!
You know and pretty often while talking i throw a <<you know i heard from Sxephil>>
-Who is that guy?
-A guy who has a show on youtube.. you have to check him out..
-HAHA WTF BBQ LOSER FAG who makes SHOWS on youtube ?
-...
I get that kind of reaction.. It gets even worse once they know that i myself grab a camera record myself and upload something...
I see youtube as a GIANT opportunity. A place where everyone can share his mind and passions.
There is after all an audience for almost everything out there.. And based on that thought i also judge and critisize people on the website the same way. It almost seems like people find it reallyyyyyy difficult to say a <<Nice job>> to someone else.
IS really everyone thinking that youtube is a place just for songs and funny videos ?!
Tell me which way you guys use youtube !
Do you have any favourite people you like to follow ? any shows?
Mine are ofc Day9 , sxephil , Kassemg , FreddieW , Shaytards , MysteryGuitarMan and many more..





In case anyone cares my youtube channel is www.youtube.com/kaiz0kusama

Can anybody else not stand when people have a different shot for everything they say even though they are still in the same position? That guy in OPs in the first video has like 50 different parts patched together even though it would just be easier just to say everything in one take. Maybe I am not wording what I mean right because I have no experience in film but its just a pet peeve of mine.

Watching mainly the channels I've subscribed to: RayWilliamJohnson, sxephil, meekakitty, HuskyStarcraft, HDStarcraft, PsyStarcraft, NextGenTactics, freddiew, EpicMealTime, TheGameStation, KassemG, MysteryGuitarMan,... might have left out some. Problem with this lineup is almost zero content on weekends, so I have to actually do something for university.

Sometimes I watch some of Youtube's "Trends" videos because I want to know what is supposed to be a trend for this day.

I use it as a place to quickly look up something I want to show another person.

I also use it as a site that streams me video of things I find on forums.

Other than those two things I never visit the site.

There are actually a lot of interesting channels out there. I subscribe to a ton of music ones as well as a few interesting ones (go tutorial, ping pong highlights, soccer highlights, etc). Personally I think the top channels like kassem and sxephil are stupid but apparently a lot of ppl like them.

Most of the stuff on youtube is awful, especially the rants and people who share their opinions. I don't know why people do that... I mean, it's bad enough being stupid, but thinking people want to hear you stutter and having a 5 frame per second video of your ugly mug at the same time? Thank god for AwfulVision, in which I get hear commentary of actually funny people over those videos.

On the other hand, there's a lot of great stuff too. You can find pretty much any song in an instant if you need to show a friend (heavily abused by jerks making blogs linking to 50 of their favourite songs), you can watch professionally produced television shows that were uploaded illegally, and you can watch StarCraft (technically I guess that falls into the former category). I would say there's good Let's Plays too, but most of the good Let's Players don't use YouTube.

Other than that YouTube is terrible because people can upload anything, and most people don't have the decency to ask themselves 'will anyone want to watch this?' before they upload it... Thus, chaos.

This is why I dont ever use it to search for videos.

I literally only go to youtube to watch shows that im subscribed too(Athene, yogscast, sxephil, totalbiscuit etc. etc.). I never give the other trash a chance.

I only use youtube for watching specific SCBW games and music. I do not subscribe to anyone. I do not care to listen to your rants or thoughts.

As far as uploading my own videos goes, I don't do it. I do see some purpose in it for private videos, for a group of specific people, but I have no interest in expressing myself in the form of videos to the internet.

Now, there is no correct way to use it. Use it how you like. Let your friends use it how they like.

As a person whose main income is provided through youtube ad revenue I have to say that I LOVE talking to people who have no idea what the capabilities of youtube are. It always makes me giggle when I explain the idea behind it and see their reactions.

Sorry its just funny when you mention awful and rants and people who share opinion then u tell us that u are subscribed to athene.

I myself use youtube for discovering music. The related stuff is actually pretty decent and link me to more and more songs that I may not have discovered. I watch sxephil and kassemG sometimes when I get bored. All in all people have the right to express their opinions whether they are stupid or not, sometimes it leads to amusement.

I've never made an account. I mostly use youtube for watching funny videos, like the ones that go viral and stuff, or ones that you share with your friends because they are just really funny. I also occasionally look up a music video.

I hate the popular channels with "youtube celebrities". They always try so hard to be funny but there videos just aren't that funny to me. Youtube is like a way way way worse version of TV, because the quality of content and production value is incredibly low, but with the occasional awesome video. Overall, I think it's a good thing, though, and it's great for sharing videos with friends, too.

I do appreciate your uploads. I can safely say that I enjoy almost every song you upload onto the channel.

Personally, I use Youtube to watch BW VODs and for music. I enjoy listening to covers of songs and follow a few independent artists on Youtube.

I pretty much use it only when I get sent a link or follow a link from TL.

I have an account which I haven't used in perhaps two years. And unless I happen to create another video I don't expect to use it any time soon again.

A little bit harsh don't you think ? You can always choose what you watch..
But i agree that there is so much trash out there.. But after a while you can narrow down your options to those few that actually are worth your time.

Maybe it is also the way i think/judge and that is why i get so easily irritated when people make such fast assumptions. For example if i tell someone go watch OnePiece you will love it.. i expect him to go watch 600 episodes and then tell me his opinion :D Which isnt very practical though haha.
