What the f*&^ have they done to YouTube Comments?!

[Varrok]

Angry Joe sure is angry about it

[Ridg3]

86% of the forum would be mightily embarrassed.

[Varrok]

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

[Slog Bait]

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

Uh, I'm sorry, WHAT? Apparently my own video trailer of VVVVVV has a copyright claim against it? pic.twitter.com/sQfGyBBpxg

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]

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

[DarkHoodness]

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!!
*Leaves country*

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

[Nepsotic]

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

[Varrok]

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

[Wings of Fire]

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]

And how right I would have been.

[xXxrenhoekxXx]

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

[Crashpunk]

The Wayback Machine is probably the best website ever.

My channel looked so much better only a year ago

[MeechMunchie]

And how right I would have been.

YouTube: So awful I used it five times today.

[Nepsotic]

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]

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]

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

[Slog Bait]

Don't jinx it.

[Vyrien]

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]

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

Half Life 3 will be

Fuck yeah!
