So youtube is now making sounds that they want me in the fold. Hmm tricky The dynamics between users and youtube is highly asymmetric, and that asymmetry will only get more vivid when money is involved. (IF you become dependent on the money from youtube, then they hold almost all the cards. They can afford the loss of your account far more than you can). I am also deeply disturbed by the fact that if you now type in the title from the youtube video protest Youtube vs the Users you find NOTHING. Even though the video was mirrored a few hundred times, you find NOTHING. Thats some pretty BS censorship. I don't want youtube to advertise their weak spots, and I can appreciate they don't want every grunt with an axe to grind making their life hard, but Orwellian history revision of this sort is BULLSHIT! My position has changed as the value of the channel, in terms of the work I have put into it, increased. The initial goal was to make the media, and rely on word of mouth for the material to find an audience. However the channel has now become the main route by which the audience accesses the material. I am still not sure how this will go with youtube, or what the future with youtube (if any) is. I noticed recently that youtube now has compulsory ads on some videos, that is ads you MUST watch before the video starts. Hmmm thats starting to look more like the Viacom method of media distribution, and the only effect that had on me is that I never go there (daily show etc) anymore. And then there is the money aspect. On paper the channel is actually quite a valuable asset. But it would be a hell of a gamble to throw in the towel on a stable job and engage with a company that can cut your income in the blink of an eye, that didnt exist a few years back, and only a bold man would predict its future (although I suspect it will essentially look like Viacom). Hmmmm, tricky.. thats not the youtube I started posting videos on. However this company is now the main mechanism by which people find the media I produce. Ultimately I dont know with surety that this is a wise thing to do. Its a balance of factors type issue. We shall see how this goes.
