		<description>Are you aware that 2 people can completely disagree, but neither side is wrong?  I believe the issue is due to different moral compasses, and not due to an overt hatred.  One group sees occassional promotional videos as an acceptable subsidy for entertainment, whilst the other group sees users cynically treated as &#039;consumers&#039; by media manipulation.

Its a shame that people are rarely able to see past there own point of view.</description>

		<description>I think it looks like you have spent a lot of time thinking about this topic, and you have come to some very sound conclusions. I could go in to a long diatribe about what I think motivates people like them, but they&#039;re really not worth the time or effort.

The fact is, when a venture gets as big/popular as YouTube, in the world we live in there are always going to be people who will want to capitalize on the opportunities for profit that exist whether it be online or in the brick and mortar realm.

I most certainly can&#039;t begrudge you for wishing you could make a living doing something you love to do. Shouldn&#039;t that be a goal that all of us strive for?</description>

		<description>these guys were preaching to the bully choir, they won&#039;t, can&#039;t, and haven&#039;t  made a difference in any way,shape or form on youtbe. The fact that they decided to use and pick on you rather than have an open and honest dialog just proves that they are really nothing more than bullies.

If you feel threats were made or they were trying to intimidate you or your family, document, report them to you tube and the authorities and post it all here publicly. Actually, I think this blog post serves as that. As this form of communication spreads I think these types of issues will continue to crop up. If they can&#039;t approach their topics in an above board and civil manner, unless it is stated clear that what they are creating is a parody, they really aren&#039;t worth the time. Some people enjoy being unhappy and discontent all the time.

I did enjoy your response and I am also glad you are letting it go :)</description>

		<description>Nalts, 

The most telling aspect of this post to me is just how little discussion it has produced.  That indicates to me that they had their 15 minutes and everyone is bored with them.  Until they can come up with some creative, original content to help them gain popularity rather than to generate a phony &quot;controversy&quot; regarding things which you&#039;ve always been upfront about, then they&#039;re through.

&quot;Watch what people are cynical about, and one can often discover what they lack.&quot;

		<description>Envy -- How many negative-Nancies would change their song-n-dance if someone offered THEM dollars for their videos?

Community -- YouTube is a &quot;community&quot; by definition because there are several different people in it, saying and doing several different things.  And yes, every community, real and virtual, has people in it who are *gasp!* making money!  As I&#039;ve said ever since I logged on my very first day, YouTube is here for EVERYONE... I&#039;ll use it how I choose, and you use it how you choose -- as long as I&#039;m not hurting anyone, why should you care if I&#039;m trying to earn a few extra bucks?  Matter of fact, why AREN&#039;T you?  &quot;Because that&#039;s not what YouTube is for?&quot;  Tell that to the guys who are holding all that newfound Google stock.

Self-Promotion -- People who criticize nalts for self-promotion should ask themselves:  Why do you appear in your videos?  Aren&#039;t you saying, &quot;Look at me?&quot;  YouTube&#039;s slogan itself invites people to self-promote:  &quot;Broadcast Yourself.&quot;  Right?

How to Handle It -- I say, ignore.  It&#039;s like anything else in the media... If you want it to go away, then don&#039;t listen/watch... Ratings go down, sponsorship dollars dry up, and shows get cancelled... Complaining [&quot;hating&quot;] just calls attention to it.  So, bottom line?  If you don&#039;t like, don&#039;t watch.  YouTube is plenty big enough for everyone without getting personal and nasty.
