I'm partnered with YouTube through my channel, and even I think this is a stupid idea.
Most of us work through networks, our money doesn't even really come from ads. Companies like Machinima, BBTV, shit like that, and basically you can earn a regular salary (if you want to call it that). If YouTube continues this people like myself and MANY others are just going to bail. I barely make anything worth mentioning, but some people actually make their living this way...and forcing people to pay for a person who is already getting paid to do hardly any real work in 80% of the cases on there is just going to piss users off more than they have been lately.
The layout change was fucking retarded, the fact they continue to change how videos are uploaded and even simple functions like commenting almost every 10 seconds is retarded, and the fact the site drifted so far from what it was originally intended to be was just...fucking sad. I started going on there in like 2006, I feel like a YT oldfag. Now the site is full of nothing but pretentious assholes who were paid to look like they know how to make videos, as opposed to the somewhat pretentious assholes that actually learned how to do videos and such on their own and developed their own style and such. Honestly, I shouldn't really being saying this, because of contractual shit or whatever but a huge percentage of anyone that gets popular on there was more or less just paid to be a pretty face pretending that its their original content, and its "not" being produced for them by an outside company.
It's things that like that which have been accumulating since around 2008 that have killed the site, and whatever its original mission was. I knew the google buyout was going to change things, but it ended up ruining so much.
