Comments on: YouTube Ends 2006 With Technical, Customer Support Fiasco http://willvideoforfood.com/2006/12/31/youtube-ends-2006-with-technical-customer-support-fiasco/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=youtube-ends-2006-with-technical-customer-support-fiasco Online-Video & YouTube Tips for Video Creators, Marketers and Entrepeneurs Sun, 12 Feb 2012 15:16:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Alyson http://willvideoforfood.com/2006/12/31/youtube-ends-2006-with-technical-customer-support-fiasco/#comment-2748 Alyson Fri, 20 Apr 2007 17:47:23 +0000 http://willvideoforfood.com/?p=1236#comment-2748 There are so many problems with youtube now, I don't understand it. None of these problems existed even 3 months ago, so WHAT is the deal? The site is digressing instead of improving. OK, so my most recent issues: 1) Yes, I understand it takes a while after uploading a video for it to show in searches, but over 10 hours!?! 2) It says I have a comment on a video (from 5 hours ago) and I still cannot see it. 3) My channel has not been updated with a) the newly uploaded video (now like 16 hours ago), b) a video that I changed to "private" has not been changed (again, like 16 hours ago). 4) The view count is completely inconsistent- meaning instead of increasing, the view count decreases or goes back to a lower number. What is the point of having features such as view count, ratings, and the ENTIRE "MOST RECENT" section if none of it works properly? How can a video be recent if it was 9 hours ago? What I cannot understand is why youtube is going down the tube. THere is no way that within just 3 months or so, the volume of users has increased so much that the site is experiencing THIS many problems. So WHAT IS the problem? I've sent so many error messages and bug problems etc and all I'm ever told is to be patient- that people are working on it. If that's the case then WHY are there MORE problems and WHY are things getting WORSE!!? I cannot tell you how frustrating this is and I really don't need to be placated by saying they understand my frustration and to be patient. Just fix the problems. It makes no sense whatsoever and it had turned into a completely illegitmate and unfair system because of the delays and errors. There are so many problems with youtube now, I don’t understand it.

YouTube has been driving me crazy the past couple of weeks. VERY difficult to Upload vids. And I'm getting the crap spammed out of me. And all the other things you mention. Could it be the Google effect? I hate it when these big companies take over smaller companies and fuck things up. Oh yeah...nearly forgot...for the first time ever they refused to Upload one of my vids. Said it was "offensive". Well it was a capture of a "Vag-in-a-can" ad which I thought hilarious. Obviously the suits didn't. So whadya do? There's YouTube and daylight. I've tried Google, Blip, Yahoo, Metcafe, Revver, the French one who name eludes me and several others whose names I can't remember either. None of them have the traffic of YouTube. Although a lot of them have much better compressions. BTW my completely crap videos have had something like 450,000 views. "Mac is Gay" alone has had 180,000! Now if I could just get a slice of that action. Even at a cent a time I would have Four and a Half Grand. That reminds me...I'm still waiting for Google Adsense to start paying. On one site I get 2000+ Unique Visitors a week and Google views makes me about $6 or something. I don't even look anymore. And yes...I've tried different styles, sizes, placement. You too huh?

This method still leaves a lot of guesswork to the video creator, but this is how it is done: 1. Create and upload video. 2. Make sure your video has an accurate, yet attention-grabbing title and description. 3. It must then get a rating above 3.0 to be released to the viewers on the "front page" area. 4. If the videos on the very front page have above a 3.2, your video needs to be above a 3.2 to make it on that page. Likewise, if the videos on the very front page have above a 3.8, your video needs to be above a 3.8 to make it on that page. If your video makes it to the very front page and stays there for one or two days, it is very likely to break the 20,000 mark. 5. If you video is released but does not make it to the very front page, you still have a decent chance if #2 is followed properly and a lot of people are interested in it or comment on it. That's all I can say. Out of all of the videos I upload, I have several misses. Okay, here’s how to make a video work on MetaCafe.

Do they respond when you raise this? As for Metacafe- I'm totally confused about producer rewards. I've got 4 videos that made it and countless that are pergatory.
