Youtube invents ways to annoy me
« on: June 10, 2009, 10:09:47 pm »

Nowadays, whenver I go to Youtube for whatever reason, a small little tab thing, labeled "Realtime" and displays "watching now" and "friends". Let me give you a picture of it:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I find this tab to be extremely aggravating to me, and would like it removed. However, there is no readily apparently method of doing this, and that leaves me frustrated and asking you guys. Can anyone help me out?

That [Magma] is a bit deep down there, don't you think?
You really aren't thinking like a dwarf.

If you think it is down too far, you move it up until it reaches an acceptable elevation.

In chaoticjosh's defense, I have Cutting Crew's Dying in Your Arms Tonight on my main youtube playlist.  :(

Well, less defense, and more "you are not on your own."

Gah! Reviving cause Youtube is conducting 'maintenance' which is happening off-schedule, is longer than usual, frequently going on and off, and thoroughly interrupting me from watching videos.

What the hell? Did someone spill water on the servers or something Youtube? This is aggravating!

Josh, can't we all just agree that youtube is run by an inter-dimensional demonic conglomerate whoose power depends on how aggravated you are at any given time?

I noticed it too.  Yes, Youtube is abusing its dominant market share by being rubbish, just like Microsoft.

Comments. Most comments on youtube are just... Just...

They really depress me.

Not really a joke.

But then, life was also easier when I was running around here pretending to be a man, so I guess I should just "man up" and get back to work.

Heh, this reminds me of when Friendster copied Facebook applications. And became even spammier. YouTube's already my least favorite video site.
