YouTube Begins Its Descent...


Now, I'm a huge fan of YouTube... Not because they do anything special, but because you can find just about anything you want there... Now that it's been bought by "The Google" (as our President would say), things are starting to go downhill... I think media companies now see a huge wallet attached and are going to pull down a lot more videos of make Google pay for them... This is really interesting because YouTube actually succeeded by doing things the wrong way... There are tons of companies out there who have the same or better technology... The reason YouTube got big was because they let people post anything (copywrited stuff, etc), which gave them better content than the guys who did it the right way (protected content that has copywrites)... So, now Comedy Central has pulled down all their clips... Colbert, Jon Stewart, etc... Bye bye...
