You know I do! It's really awesome to listen to music, or watch funny videos here and there. I think it's awesome, other then all the Complainers there saying stuff to tick people off, but that doesn't bother me so yeah. I think Youtube is awesome IMO. What are your opinions about Youtube?

Shucks. Mostly because of the near-zero quality of comments, and that rule of 'blocking' videos containing official content, at least in my country. So basically I can't listen to 90% of mainstream music and more (hell, they've blocked half of SoaD songs), thus having to resort myself to itty-bitty-illegal downloading.

Was WAY better before Google owned it. Now people are making videos for money which defeats the purpose in my opinion.

It's alright. It's great to kill time and watch music videos. I don't go on as much as I used to, though.

I'm curious. What do you believe is the purpose of YouTube? And can't the purpose of YouTube - whatever it is - coincide with the ability to make money at the same time?

Personally, if individuals are going to spend time creating content that entertains (my personal definition of YouTube's purpose), then they should have to opportunity to profit from their efforts.

The community was friendly when people were simply making stuff for fun. I used to spend a lot of time making videos back in '07 when nobody was being paid. Me and a lot of great people have no reason to make videos now. The purpose of Youtube is fun, not business.

It's better than TV.

Documentaries, opinions, travel videos, videogame reviews, music videos, hello! project fansubs, art. There's always something interesting going on.

I like it. Its a great way to find some new interesting music, documentaries, anime and funny videos. You can watch whole series of anime thanks to people that upload them. Also good for finding some gameplay vids and music videos.

Only thing I don't like is their strict music content violations.

Youtube is overall good. It is annoying that it often deletes videos without proper justification, and the posts are often inflammatory trolling and idiotic nonsense. On the flip side though, it does offer a wide variety of video content that I'm interested. It has things ranging from tv clips, music, debates, funny videos, etc. And for the most part, it loads well; even if the quality of the video and audio isn't the greatest. Overall youtube is good, but not perfect.

I make my living off Youtube, no joke. Youtube paid for my 42" Panasonic Plasma, my 50" Panasonic Plasma, my PS3 + PS Move Controllers, my $1400 Gaming PC, my $1,500 5.1 bedroom home theater setup, food, bills, college, my $850 Schecter guitar, pretty much everything I own. Without it I think I'd have next to nothing.

The ads before the videos are killing it, but that's the only flaw. And the trolls.

I prefer to read than watch the news. So, I really don't like YouTube, especially for news videos. This is why I don't like it when someone links to it as a news source. However, I do find that it has some interesting videos.

Not always the case. For instance, the machinima guys get paid for every 10000 views I believe it is

That doesn't work for youtube videos, only on the adverts on the side
