Rant about YouTube

OK, rant time.

# 1. I hate being forced to watch commercials before I can see a video... they never did that crap in the beginning !

# 2. I can't count how many times I pulled up a music video on YouTube, only to be disappointed cuz it's "copyrighted" and the DRM or EMI Nazi's made them remove it. IT'S A MUSIC VIDEO ! Back in the day (when MTV was normal), you could watch music videos all day and all night !

# 3. Why is it I can stream videos from ANY other site and they never buffer every 10 seconds.... yet when I view vids on YouTube, it's constantly buffering and freezing to catch up with itself.

I'm done with YouTube... if I can find the video ANYWHERE else, I'm watching it there instead.

(End of Rant)

Ok that one doesnt bother me too much because it is usually one brief commercial, and you figure that youtube has to make money somehow.

Now here I think pretty much the same thing. Are they afraid that sales in old Quiet Riot vhs sales is going to plummet because you can watch a crappy quality version of the video on youtube? If anything you would think the record companies would want the exposure in hopes of increasing cd/mp3 sales.
