One question, if I registered around the time VioleTAK did, and set myself to Director, do I have the old Director function? Or not?

o_O; Sorry, don't quite understand what you mean. Do you mean I can't upload > 10 minute videos even though I am a director?

the best known, the one with the most market penetration i have found almost never have the best quality. even though this is the internet and not chicken farming, they still fail. it is because it is the one with the best marketing, and hookups to the biggest networks that end up the biggest, even though they aren't the best.

examples of poor quality products with the largest market shares:
1) windows. -why hold back features? linux has way more cool aspects
2) youtube - piece of shit. stage 6 is better. google videos is better. crunchyroll is better. almost everything is better. youtube is one of the worst actually in terms of programming. it's most useful only due to the fact that most people are familiar with it, and has diverse content.
3) internet exploder- if you want viruses and computer crashes, use this. firefox is better. but i recommend opera. but firefox is nice that it has scripting. but im sure opera does too.
4) mcdonalds - can you make a better sandwich? yes. and one without msg either.
5) produce - these vegtables wouldn't need pesticides if you would rotates crops. they suck period.
6) movie/college seats: uncomfortable! horrible for your back!

im sure you can think of many more.

but i think the reason why this is so is because those behind the products are mainly about profit. hence they concentrate more on marketing, sales etc. usually those with the most passion for the subject/field are more focused on genuinely tryign to make it better, and very devotedly, and naturally marketing is not their best skill. Unnecessart R&D cuts into profits, unless of course the new tech decreases production costs for more profits. They advance society and technlogy. Also, once you become the king of the hill in your industry, as long as you keep everyone else below you, there is no necessity to improve the quality. money - thus relative superiority - is what is most important to them, not breaking boundaries or advancing the frontiers.

in conclusion, thats why competition is good, and free markets are good. it gives incentive to improve the product, advance technology, and maximize efficiency. And to do this, we need minimal regulation from the government so that it becomes easy to go into business, and not allow monopolies to stamp competition down via lobbying and buying politians. as well as low taxes. that's what made america so great in the first place.
