Anyway moving on... There is still hope for youtube. Just they need to act on how to spice it up. But with the left around and plain dumb corporate news...its likely it wont

Have I ever told you how much I love being able to edit comments

Youtube's definitely heading towards a down hill slope

See how useful it is?

Maybe that is your addiction

They're the left. They'll always be fine

We found your heroin

They'll still have an audience, but I'm almost certain video hosting sites are going to become more decentralized in the next few years

Well I scream in pain on twitter when I can't edit

Everything does

so I do have withdrawal symptoms

Same to what happened to animation back in the days

yeah people act like we can leave and do them in. There are tons of other categories, other than news and politics, though gamers are a big chunk of YouTube.

Buzzfeed owner has a history of pretending to be other people, falsifying information, and publishing fake stories.

This explains alot.

the big chunk of youtube are kids. kids play a lot of video games.

Over the past few years, we've seen a pareto distribution of user activity from websites

Gamers and music are the 2 biggest things on youtube I would have to say

Sports

youtube is for kids.

A small handful of websites have been controlling most of the user activity

Youtube sports has the highest subs

Then gaming

Then music

what about views

Music

Depends how you cut them up

Views may go to music

Songs get rewatched

^

i didn't think views get counted for each re-watch

Yes they do

thought that was a myth

Nope

i'd reload a page and the count didn't go up

I definitely don't think music has views

Maybe gaming

They do. I've refreshed stuff over and over to get more views on it.

Gaming doesnt get more views after a vid gets uploaded

i think you were seeing other people watch the same video
