HULU TUBE - PHASING YOU OUT OF YOUTUBE

Our revels now are ended. These our actors, | As I foretold you, were all spirits, and | Are melted into air, into thin air; | And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, | The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces, | The solemn temples, the great globe itself, - Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, | And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, | Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff | As dreams are made on, and our little life | Is rounded with a sleep. - Shakespeare

Oy. Disney. To be fair, it

Oy. Disney.

 

To be fair, it was only a matter of time. This would be one of those 'not so great things' about capitalism.

I can see the bright green strip of grass beneath the wall, and the clear blue sky above the wall, and sunlight everywhere. Life is beautiful. Let the future generations cleanse it of all evil, oppression and violence, and enjoy it to the full."

butterbattle,thanks for

 the heads up.Everything on the Internet that is now free,will be privatized and a small fee will be up to a corporate CEO to impose on the public. Google will be the next one probably. They're like drug dealers,they give it to you at first, free of charge and after you're depended on it they charge you,welcome to the " Brave New World" where everything has a price tag attached to it. 

Signature ? How ?

Err Youtube exists to make

Err Youtube exists to make money

The internet exists to make money

In fact just about everything we do in life is to make money (or more accurately to get laid)

 

That is something wrong with people who have grown up in the 90's/00's with this absurd idea that you can get something from free in life. Whether its Facebook, Youtube software/music piracy.

I consider myself to be a moderate lefty but it really obvious the youtube/google is not a charity it has one purpose and one purpose to make money and that is their right

 I don't see why it

 I don't see why it matters, I will do to youtube exactly what I do to this site only go to the parts I want to. The videos are still there you can still find them and the people who enjoy watching those videos will still watch them. where is the problem. Site expands past what it used to do and that is a bad thing? Who actually uses the popular tab anyway? I would think most people would type in what they want to see

Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy.
Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend.

Google did it first. Then they bought YouTube and did it to them too. You're a bit behind. Sticking out tongue

Nothing on the Internet is

Nothing on the Internet is free , no web page no bandwidth absolutely nothing is free it all has a cost. Its just a case of who pays for it.

Google would be perfectly in their rights to charge 1p/cent  or a £100/$100 per search is they so choose as opposed to it being paid for by advertisers. I would fully support their right if they choose do . I also probably wouldnt use their service (which is my right).

Life is very simple if something isnt  paid for by someone its stolen

I agree mostly. Everything has a cost, even if it's only the energy required to take possession of it.

On the plus side, advertisements on the internet could drop. They might just keep them to make extra money though.

If google starts charging I won't use it. My searches tend to be obscure and as a result fruitless. I'll be damned if I'm going to pay for nothing.

It's not Free

  In a capitalist society that most Americans believe that we live in, nothing is free to the average citizen,but very wealthy people live here and enjoy a socialist way of life.OK,now lets take Bill Gates as a example,he is usually given credit for inventing the Internet,but actually it was develop at MIT for the Pentagon and paid for with our taxes,so we the people are really the ones who owns the Internet,and it should be FREE !

It was developed by

It was developed by scientists to make long distance scientific research and collaberation infinitely more effecient. Then they were nice enough to let the rest of us use it. Drama ensued.

Laci thinks that these

Laci thinks that these people are all drama queens.

 

The reason her opinion is relevant is because she has a fair amount of subscribers and because she is one of the most popular atheist youtube videoers.

No, that's Microsoft. You're thinking of Tim Berners Lee.

"Physical reality” isn’t some arbitrary demarcation. It is defined in terms of what we can systematically investigate, directly or not, by means of our senses. It is preposterous to assert that the process of systematic scientific reasoning arbitrarily excludes “non-physical explanations” because the very notion of “non-physical explanation” is contradictory.

I'm inclined to agree. The infrastructure is already laid down, all that's required is tax dollars to maintain it. There's no reason almost everybody couldn't have dsl or cable internet now. A lot of people would lose their jobs though... Price would be minimal as there would be no need to advertise insure equipment.

Of course I would also make some taxes optional. Don't want to pay the internet tax you say? Well you're in luck! You can waive service.
