I mean the way they did the comments is kind of cool… but there’s no ****ing ratings any more! I mean it was always nice seeing the rating and knowing for the most part if something was a piece of **** before watching it. All I can say is they better bring that back or that is seriously ****ed.

Yeah it’s stupid but it’s just like facebook and every other stupid internet thing with millions of users, they can make it as ****ty as they want and we’ll still use it.

ITT we reminisce about old websites that became ****ty.

Remember GeoCities and eGroups before Yahoo bought them?

Remember Homestead Sitebuilder?

Remember Neopets before Viacom bought them?

If so, then you’re old.

I’m surprised someone has yet to write an internet law about websites like this. It seems that whenever a ‘social networking’ site has appeal for being efficient and entertaining in some way, as more people use the service, mandatory layout changes start occurring that make things more ‘messy’, leading to a drop in use.

I look at Facebook as the primary offender. MySpace was before my time, but even when I started looking at MySpace pages they were already splattered like Pablo Picbumo puke. But Facebook, I used that when it was college-only and it was an effective networking tool for people I knew and people I wanted to meet. In fact, several of my current friends I met by searching for shared interests, since if we have shared interests it’s more likely we’d hit it off well.

Now though, with all the microblogging, games and the ****-poor layout, the original resume-style functionality of the site is all but gone, and the privacy filters pretty much restrict people from finding other people to network with.

YouTube is going the same thing, Google is trying to turn it into a social networking site with videos instead of pictures. That’s all well and good, I’ll just wait for another streaming site where I can get my copyrighted material. Log in to see images!

Better question, what’s up with this kid? – www.youtube.com/kingjazzad12

That’s not actually you, is it? But if it is, as a guitarist myself I have a tip for you:

Your thumb is not for fretting notes.

Really huh? Nobody really cares about the ratings too much? Wow.

It’s a little annoying because you can’t give a video a so-so rating, it’s either ****ING AMAZING, BEST THING EVER or COMPLETE UTTER ****. It does tell you how many people think it’s AMAZING or **** though. But if you want to do some math, you can find the “rating”. It’s something like this:

(5x+1y/5z)*5 if x=Likes, y=dislikes , and z=total votes. I’m on the video for HIM’s “Heartkiller” (because I’m a fabulous person with poor taste in music) and it’s got 2272 Likes, 145 Dislikes, and 2419 total votes, so ((2272*5)+(145)/(2419*5))*5= around 4.76.

So yeah, it’s totally not worth the effort.

This fixes, like, 90% of the problem…
