I did a Google search for YouTube sucks (for reasons I can’t quite explain because I’m not mad at YouTube today). Here’s what I found.
A Brit waxes poetically about YouTube’s sucking. Seems the “bun was getting stuck” — causing her to miss a deadline by two days… She quotes someone else wanting to mobilize troops against YouTube.
Kind of interesting to watch people use YouTube to critique it.
Don’t get depressed about the economy folks. Even wrecklessly stupid brands are squeezing old-media spending in favor of paid search, targeted interactive advertising, and … yes… even online video. Marketing and advertising spend on online video has a good future. Even though it’s a small sliver of online spending and difficult to measure (slicing fog),…
This Hollywood Reporter article reveals that PopTub (a new show on YouTube) is backed by bigger players that I thought. (Google) quietly launched a video series September 8 on its YouTube property called “Poptub” with Embassy Row, the production company run by “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” creator Michael Davies, and Pepsi. So we’re feeling…
Nice piece in indie wire featuring Edwards Burn, where he talks about the beauty of low-cost production. No booms, lights, or film. Just a Canon 5D and a small budget. And the ideas? Crowdsourced. P.S. My birthday is May 12 in case you wanted to buy me a Canon 5D. It’s less than $3500. If…
Honestly I don’t want to summarize this Speaker Text press release (via Tim Post) because it reads like a crisp short story (see Post’s writeup). I’d feel like I was Cliff Noting a classic and depriving you of the experience of reading about a company as if you were between chapters of a Grisham novel…
For reasons I can’t explain, I just spent the past half hour replying to comments about this video… using the word “poop” in each one.
I’ve written quite a bit about online-video contests as a win-win for producers and brands. Unless the agency insists on a giant microsite and excessive media buy, these give brands access to novel creative executions at a great price. And amateur producers can use it to promote their work, and make some bucks. My support…

YouTube sucks? When did this happen?
youtube just kicked me off for inappropriate content.
i find this amusing. especially since they literally just approved me as a director a week earlier and i have sent at least three emails asking what it was that was inappropriate ony to get a message back about something that was totally unrelated to my question.
Maybe it’s that trailer park manager, the one who is on a moral crusade to clean up YouTube. Only one of my videos was kicked off YouTube after it had been up three or four months. Suddenly it was inappropriate. Cristo-fascists. The most amusing YouTube flamer I got was a 28 year-old “Vietnam vet” (obviously bad at math) irate over my PTSD spoof.
YouTube’s efforts kicking Marquis and IDoNothing are like me trying to solve world hunger by giving candy to the fat kid next door. Not sure this analogy works, but I felt like mentioing the fat kid next door.
1Steak- thanks for the feedback. Always nice to see a fresh name.
Make new blogger commenters but keep the old. One is silver but the other’s gold.
Fat kid next door.
Youtube is owned by Google now…its changed a little I guess….
