YouTube will see drastic reductions in its userbase and hit numbers.

Another video site will arise, of similar format to YouTube, that will not censor its material.

The true underbelly of the internet will flock to this new site, and soon it will surpass the once-juggernaut YouTube. It will gain more popularity, and will crush the Tube.

I have forseen it.

>>2464964

Thats great but we need to put an end to this sort of thing once and for all. Show them that the internet won't be censored. This has my support.

Go die in a fucking hole. I don't give a shit what people do with a site that they own and operate. Cry some more, faggot.

inb4 trolled, etc...

>>2464983

Enjoy your censored internet faggot

Yes, it's a nice cause, but the /b/rothers rofl anon is leejun tubes lulz lulz omg lulzkiller xD stuff isn't necessary.

who cares, a new site will a ppear and new lulz and memes will born, just like myspace and facebook

youtube is a website owned by a private company. they are not obligated to let you have your free speech. if ISPs took a similar action, the line gets a little fuzzy, but in my mind, youtube is certainly within their rights in censoring what they do not want posted.

also, lol youtube.

HAY GUISE I'M BOYCOTTING YOUTUBE FOR A WHOLE DAY. AM I A REBEL NOW? AM I OVERTHROWING THE TOTALITARIAN REGEME?

Youtube is hosting your shit for free. You'll fucking live.

thats what we have things liek daily motion and liveleak

I miss Kazaa.
and now i will miss Youtube.

I like that you fags are only boycotting youtube for a day. If you want youtube to take your shit seriously, you better last longer than one fucking day. Quit using the fucking site until they switch back their policy.

All this is going to show them is "we're upset enough to not use your site for one day." Not "we're upset enough to all quit using your shitty website."

>>2464996
I don't think you understand. They own the fucking web site.

Let me say this again since you are apparently one of those "special needs" children.

They own the fucking site.

They can do what they want. They can plaster it with "GOOGLE IS GREAT. ALL HAIL GOOGLE.". They can cover it in horse cocks and naked midgets. They own it, they decide what to do.

Imagine if you owned a website and a bunch of faggots started telling you what to do with it.

Sage for retardation. You don't have any right to do tell someone what to do with their property.

Youtube is not THE site for videos, but it certainly is THE most popular site. Just as Google is the most popular site, period, much less the most popular search engine.
I'm sure some of you out there would like to claim you're so hXc and leet, but fact is, google is everywhere. They already censor shit to appear in their top searches. Encyclopediadramatica has taken a lot of hits in this matter over the years, and I've seen their ranking for sites go from 1, for being the most popular, to 8, 9, or 10, for being too "inappropriate" for the general populace. This isn't where Google's gonna stop either; they're huge. People like
>>2465016
>>2465018
>>2465059
can piss all they want about "BAWWW IT'S NOT DIRECTLY INFRINGING SHUT UP" but the fact is, youtube and other sites on the internet are supposed to be for the PEOPLE, not for the CORPORATIONS. Enjoy your netrape; some of us give a shit about big corps throwing their weight around on the internet.

Yeah this is so fucking stupid. Google can do whatever the hell they want with any content posted. If they don't like you using the word "ostrich", then that's up to them. People are so fucking dumb about the internet and "free speech". HELLO, THE INTERNET IS NOT AMERICA.

I don't want to watch your shitty videos, full of text walls and fail.

What is youtube doing that is so objectionable? and how will the undesired elements leaving affect them?

I sense them saying "Sweet, good fucking riddance" to you and your cause.

>>2465163
Please fucking kill yourself, you cancerous piece of shit.

ah shit, think of all the rickroll videos that will be lost!

The reason we get this censorship is because we still have society which believes it can actually "build" people. As long as society decides people are born with no mind and we can tell them what to think this shit will happen

Actually read the damn thing before screaming /b/ shit, its really not bad.

Stricter adult content flagging, sexual videos get less on their most viewed scale, and clearer tagging.

I see nothing for the removal of your so called "lulz"

>>2465171
>>2465137

You guys are a tad retarded actually, it's like saying "Oh well George bush owns his country he can do whatever he wants with it" yeah, and he crashed the fucking economy. Just because you own something doesn't mean you can go around doing whatever the fuck you want. It's all controlled by something, and the net is controlled by it's user base.

>>2465243

but 'fucking' is a bad word

do you even know what this thread is about?

>>2465307
George Bush does not own the country (oh God, please be a troll. The very idea that someone can believe this...) and this is why he can't do whatever he wants with it.

Google does own Youtube and this is why they can do whatever they want with it.

You can do whatever you want with your property as long as it does not harm or endanger others.

>>2465307

Actually, it is not even remotely like that in the slightest.

>>2465352

That guy is a troll, but no, you can not do whatever you want with it. Call it whatever you want, manipulation of data is purely false information- it isn't right.

Google has been full of censorship, and holy hell this is not the first goat fuck where youtube has censored shit.

this is the first time they announced that they're doing it.. but not the first time ever.

>>2465352
lol you don't care about fox and television and newspaper censorship cause you just don't have to buy those newspapers or watch that tv, right?
hurrrr fail

>>2465312
no, I want you to summarize your argument like normal people instead of screaming walls of text at me with shitty rock music in the background

Go Youtube, and Google. They're making the internet a cleaner place for everyone. I can't wait for the day that each internet user has to send in proof of age and identification to their service provider and then pay a monthly charge to view any page with adult content. I mean, internet service is owned by a company, and they can choose to do whatever they want. They should charge sites more if they want to have adult content.

Fucking this.

Lazy fucks. content to sit in your basements and let someone else control your life.

Get up and do something for once.

And hey, you dont even have to leave the basement for this one.

Good. YouTube and its community is awful. Eventually it will fade into obscurity and everyone will just find a new video site to visit.

So basically youtube is making changes that will drive all the 14 year old /b/tards away? Thank fucking god.

>>2465468
like how google is awful and it faded into obscurity and everyonemoved onto different search engines...

Oh wait.

This isn't about just one site. This was never just about youtube. This is about unfettered censorship on the internet. If we don't start doing something about this now, it'll become standard practice.

Kiss your 4chan goodbye.

use a different website

man, that was hard

>>2465527
Yep, because Youtube = The Internet.

>>2465538

Until this is standard practice for every site.

Srsly, how can you be so short sited.

>>2465527
>>2464940
>>2464973

Oh, you silly trolls.

Call me optimistic, but I don't think people can be this profoundly stupid.

>>2465569
>short sited

is that some sort of pun, or are you just an idiot?

Fucking hell, you guys, they're not even censoring shit, they're just trying to keep the shit on the front page clean.

Why the hell are you guys bitching about this, and not the censorship that's already in place?

>>2465566

its the most popular video site on the internet, used by fucking everyone.

if theres a corporation more indicative of the general state of the internet as a whole, its google.

>>2465569
Make your own website you faggot, it's not that hard. Chris Poole did it when he was what, 16?

looks like I'm taking the 19th off so I can watch Youtube videos all day

>>2465588
We're talking about fucking websites, not laws. If you want your 14 year old /b/tard bullshit on the internet and youtube doesn't want to host your 14 year old /b/tard bullshit, then make your own goddamn site or find one that will host your crap.

>>2465569
This doesn't even make sense. For example, why would say 4chan.org, which exists solely because of 14 year olds posting LOL NIGGERS GOATSE, start censoring anything? Why would pornotube start censoring...porn? Your argument makes absolutely no sense.

>>2465667

this isn't just about /b/ vids. this is about punishing submitters that, by some chance, may have a good point to make but just so happened to drop a fuck or damn somewhere. it also is stricter on sexual suggestion.... and we're all for chicks in their panties, right? srsly, fags. making someone claim to be 18 or older to see a vid is different than punishing the vid for being made.

>>2465858
See, the point is, your slippery slope argument is completely retarded. Just because censorship is in the best interest of youtube's ability to sell advertising, doesn't magically mean anything for any other websites. What, do you think censorship on the internet is a new thing? Is this your first day online?

>>2465858
Also, if you have some great point to make, perhaps you could find a better forum than Youtube? Just a thought. As it is, Youtube is about the last place I look for any sort of insight.

>>2465924

not a slippery slope at all. its part of what the jewtube blog discusses. also read what they consider "sexual suggestion." its what they're doing, word for word.

http://www.youtube.com/blog

You sound like a protestfag.

Also, we aren't your /b/rothers. We are gentlemen.

Censorship won't go away until we change how society deals with problems. Most of the time when something goes wrong the debate is about how media/parenting did it in lue of biological/natural explanations. This gets nothing done and it waste our time and money. Get rid of that thinking and this would disappear

I'd like to help you, but you sound like an idiot when you use the word "lulz".

Go back to ED.

>>2466020

you sound like a liar. there are no gentlemen on the chans.

>>2466101
fuck off back to /b/ jesus fucking christ

>>2466101
Please return to /b/ you faggot. We have enough problem here already.

>>2465986
So stop posting on youtube, dumbass! There are millions of other websites you could be visiting, many of which are both popular and have web 2.0 bullshit where you can spout your dumb opinions about everything.
