Angry Joe sure is angry about it

Ridg3 12-17-2013 05:32 AM



86% of the forum would be mightily embarrassed.

Youtube responds to Content ID complains. Yup, they're still assholes. Why do we use their services, again?

Slog Bait 12-18-2013 03:29 AM

I think I literally only use Youtube to embed videos of music I'm listening to at that exact moment, which usually gets taken down eventually anyways.

Yep that's it.

e: wrong thread

I'd heard about the above post.

Also, here's yet more evidence of YouTube being broken. Even if game devs have explicitly stated that people have permission to post footage of their stuff, it won't protect you from YouTube's bots or false claims - Or stop you from jumping to conclusions and giving said game companies bad press, even though it's not their fault your vid was flagged.

Nerdcubed mostly rants about his situation a lot but he has a point:

*double posts - Meh, it's nearly been 12 hours* Some of you dislike The Escapist, I know, but here's a third example of YouTube screwing someone over.

xXxrenhoekxXx 12-19-2013 06:17 AM

I'm sure google has their priorities straight and will do the right thing with youtube.

YouTube Content ID mistakes police siren sound effects in a GTA IV video for a Jazz song.

In this video our president wishes Merry Christmas to all Google+ users.

...THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!

Oh yeah, the good old YouTube. Where are you? The new comment system is horrible! :P

Nepsotic 12-26-2013 06:19 AM

The "good old YouTube". I don't think there was one.

Varrok 12-26-2013 06:48 AM

"Normal, not perfect, but, let's say, acceptable Youtube"?

Wings of Fire 12-26-2013 08:06 AM

On that fateful day in 2005 where youtube was born and Web 2.0 really begun...

If Nep was a few years older, he'd have probably watched one video and then replied on a forum to someone's opinion with 'No, that's not true. This is shit!'

Nepsotic 12-26-2013 08:15 AM

And how right I would have been.

xXxrenhoekxXx 12-26-2013 05:30 PM

Google would somehow fuck up again if they try to go back to the old design.

Crashpunk 12-27-2013 03:51 AM

The Wayback Machine is probably the best website ever.

My channel looked so much better only a year ago

YouTube: So awful I used it five times today.

Nepsotic 12-27-2013 03:30 PM

Only because there's no other alternative. British Gas sucks, Virgin media suck, and so do most of the alternatives, but you just gotta deal with it.

Crashpunk 12-29-2013 12:19 AM

If I site comes along which is similar to YouTube but not owned by a big company like Google and isn't buggy as fuck. I think I'll slowly turn to that.

However it'll only be a matter of time before that new site ends up just like YouTube.

Varrok 12-29-2013 02:06 AM

There are companies that don't turn shit after time. Valve.

Slog Bait 12-29-2013 04:55 AM

Don't jinx it.

Vyrien 12-29-2013 05:37 AM

Too late, now Half Life 3 will be a pay to win, micropayment riddled, tile matching puzzle game.

I hope you're proud Varrok.

MeechMunchie 12-29-2013 07:37 AM

Well, let's just see what happens after GabeN dies. Valve's future really depends on the criteria by which they pick their CEOs.
