>six people have had their items for weeks but not left feedback
Come on, people, I left feedback for all of you. I'm not expecting Tolstoy, a simple positive feedback with "No problems" is more than sufficient.

And I put a lot of effort into my packing. I don't just stick a CD into a padded envelope and hope for the best, that shit gets some TLC.

Ran out of one set of powershots so I'm down to one a day without a tolerance adjustment, meaning I can't make up for the lack of sleep as well.
Boss is being increasingly frustrated but I'm not sure why; she hasn't approached me about anything and I fear asking.

Oh my holy Jesus Fuck, what in the seven levels of Hell have they done with the Youtube comments section???

I had several "top comments" that were rated over one hundred. Some of them were heartfelt, brilliant pieces of short prose that touched the lives of dozens of people. All gone. I can't even comment at all anymore because I don't have this googleplus account bull set up properly.

Are they trying to turn Youtube into Facebook? All advertisements and commercial content? No conversation unless it's expressing approval of a product? I'm dying, here.
>> No. 386154
Every time Youtube changes something it gets worse yet again. I don't even know how they manage that. It's like they're actively trying. I wish more Youtube people I follow had their own sites or threads where they post links to alternate video mirrors, like the SA Let's Plays. I just want to stop using that fucking awful site.
>> No. 386155
>>386148

I think Google wants to clean up the comments sections and make people more accountable for what they say on YouTube.

They just chose the most absolute ass way possible: connecting YouTube comments to a third-rate social media network that both Facebook and Twitter beat out in terms of form and function.

I get that Google wants people to use its social media network thingy, but forcing YouTube owners to connect their accounts to Google Plus won’t help.

>>386154

>Every time Youtube changes something it gets worse yet again.

No kidding: changed video page layouts, changed front page layouts, forcing comments to connect to Google Plus, DASH playback all but killing smooth playback of videos (and killing off 480p/1080p downloads and preventing playback of those formats if you disable DASH playback via userscripts/browser plugins)…you’d almost think they want people to find some other video site to which they can upload silly cat videos and leave YouTube to the professional content creat—oooooooh.

…okay yeah maybe the last part isn’t true, but goddamn, someone needs to come up with a viable YouTube alternative. (I’d say Dailymotion, but I’m not as big a fool as you might think.)

Yeah, Youtube's changes were to make comments "more meaningful" so you'd see less random comments and more comments by your friends. Except that I barely have anyone on G+ and enjoy some of the good, up-rated Youtube comments.

But Google has been doing shit with their established properties for some time now...

>you’d almost think they want people to find some other video site to which they can upload silly cat videos and leave YouTube to the professional content creat—oooooooh.

I KNOW that is what they want. They would realize the maximum profit if all the content on youtube was commercialized and uploaded by big networks, loaded with advertisements. Small-time-user uploaded content is useless to them by comparison, so they want to get rid of it. Comments are a waste of time and space and resources and do not IN ANY WAY increase ad revenue, so obviously, they want to get rid of it altogether. But they can't just shut off comment, or they risk a backlash; so they are slowly making it so inconvenient that it will wither away in time.

Eventually, when comments barely work and almost nobody is using it, they will shut it off with the justification that "nobody uses it". By that time, everyone will hate the comments section enough to be okay with that.


(I predict the next step is making comments "family friendly" by implementing word-filters for profanity and vulgarity. This will quickly be followed by word-filters for anything copyrighted. If you quote a movie or post song lyrics, THEY WILL KNOW ABOUT IT.)
>> No. 386174
>>386172

Funny you should mention the wordfilters. From YouTube’s official blog entry about the new commenting system:

>If you also post videos on your channel, you’ll have new tools to review comments before they’re posted, block certain words or save time by auto-approving comments from certain fans.

>I KNOW that is what they want. They would realize the maximum profit if all the content on youtube was commercialized and uploaded by big networks, loaded with advertisements.

Funny thing about that: I don't really see why big networks would want to work with Youtube, other than to get the visibility of being on the same site people browse their friend's arbitrary uploads, cat videos, and other such things. I suppose there's also users who upload copyright-infringing material that the owner chooses to monetize themselves instead of it shutting down, but they'd be driven out with the above since they're not getting paid themselves.

Without that, I expect viewership wouldn't be driven much by Youtube itself, and I don't see why content creators wouldn't then host their creations elsewhere. Possibly just less crowded sites, ones that give a better cut of revenue, or ones more specialized to their type of content, if not a place they run themselves. There's also the question of how much of a revenue cut Youtube gives, but Blip.tv is the only host I know of that gives details on that matter publicly, so it's hard to make a point of comparison out of it.

Honestly, I think Google might be trying to kill off Youtube altogether, and just sell ads to appear next to videos on other sites. Or just leaving Youtube as a testing ground for interns like I've long suspected.

It's more like there are two different paths I can take for my future and I don't really know which one is going to happen since they're both decent choices.

One will make me happier in the short term but I'm not sure about the long term and the other one is much more "comfortable" in that it's not as drastic of a change.

I'm just kind of waiting to see what happens.

well at least i got a hookup for adderall

why adderall? because it's for adhd, something im not actually diagnosed for but ever since i started school every teacher and school counselor and what have you has decided that i was either adhd or autistic and ALSO i might be able to FUCKING WORK ON SOMETHING AND NOT GET COMPLETELY UPSET BY MY BOYFRIEND COMING HOME AND DEMANDING MY ATTENTION

JFC WHY DOES THIS MAKE ME SO MAD AND UPSET ME SO MUCH

ALL I WANT IS TO FOCUS ON AND GET BETTER AT THINGS AND IT DRIVES ME FUCKING CRAZY

dear artists of plus4 what do you do when someone interrupts you
how do you regain focus
how do you actually ignore the outside world and work on creating your own? how do you switch from one mindset to another? why is it all so extreme?

jk jk i probably wouldn't go for adderall but at the same time, anything for a drug that will help me with pure and driven concentration

nah, not really
i post about shit that's going on, and mostly what's going on is me playing skyrim(which no one else plays anymore), being hungry and horny constantly(which isn't worth posting every couple hours), working(which i post about sometimes), and personal drama.
i admit i should probably go ahead and cut her out of my life, but i am really bad at doing that. i still have someone on my skype list who got really mad at me when i was like 13 or 14, yelled at me until i cried, and we never spoke again. just cause i don't like entirely removing the possibility of reconciliation.
something to work on, maybe.

All this fuss about the Youtube/Google+ integration reminds me of the biggest caveat of social networking sites; they serve no purpose for anybody not already using them as extensions of their personal lives. So of course being forced to use a social network you won't use to do something as simple as comment on a video is going to get people angry.

That said, apparently certain channels are disabling commenting because linkspam has become a big problem with linking enabled.
