Has YouTube Run It's Course ???

I will definitely check into that.

For now I am keeping my YouTube channel. ( convenience ) That said I wonder what would happen if a bunch of people uploaded video's of
8 hour long watching paint dry video just to take up server space?

They did, there is also a 24 hour pure black screen that got millions of views, makes you wonder .....

Darn I'm not so original after all.

I would like to know how I can download and convert videos from YouTube

www.google.com/search?q=youtube+download...rome-mobile&ie=UTF-8 .... loads of sites

I suppose they do this as they want to make more money on just common people like we are. We are now in a “ CyberPunk” state as was mentioned, and the corporations rule not only the government but the whole world. Moreover, all the wars in recent 100 years including WW1 and WW2 were unleashed in their interests, the interests of getting more and more money and power, and as for me, the local conflicts ( or hotspots ) on the entire globe are still on the run only because of them. However, I wanted, as we started to talk about youtube restrictions, to recommend you to use different media services that allow you to download audio or video in different formats.It helps you watch videos not only from youtube but from any place on the internet without any restrictions

Sinds a long time i do not use the word "google" anymore. I use the word "duckduck".

For Youtube i can only say they are discriminating their own "code of conduct". I am really not amused by several
actions youtube has done the last year. We need a good alternative platform.
 

As for me, Youtube can do what it wants with it's site. It's own property and if it gave some freedom for people to use it, this is only for making more to be engaged. As it does currently.
More over a lot of videos are old and their watching is fall down. But it still need to be there and nothing should be deleted from the server. It takes more money to keep it. It would be very pity if a lot of study videos could fall from this site.
So they decided to cover others people to earn money for them also to support that grate library of videos.

A lot of your thought are opposed to increase influence of corps. But look at this from other side: all Goverments are not effective, they take more and more loans and can't to earn more money then they are spent in previous year. I think it's very big disadvantage.
I'm from country where goverment was main driving force. And this country fell apart on small particles and a lot of people become "nobody".
