Rant: Youtube Part 2

Well, Google has officially become my most hated corporate company, bypassing Apple by only a slight margin. For one, they've taken YouTube and shoved a big ole' wooden stake through its heart... and legs, and chest, and head, and crotch, and.... everything, really. They've taken their piss-poor Google+ that nobody likes or gives half a crap to use, and they've forced it upon every YouTube and Gmail user out there. It doesn't matter if you want it or not, there's no way to get rid of the damn thing. If you're saying something along the lines of, "Well, it is a free service, after all..." Go home. Just leave. Or stay, whatever. Google makes more off of pushing ads in your face than they could ever hope to make by forcing you to pay for their services.  Think about it... would you be willing to shell out, I dunno... $10-$15 dollars a month to use the YouTube service to upload and watch videos? Maybe, but a large number of people likely would not. Anyways, Google already makes tons more than that off of you monthly, anyways, via ads. So don't ever tell me that by it being a "free" service, I have no right to complain.

And in regards to this Content ID scandal GoogleTube's gotten themselves knee deep in, I highly doubt it'll ever be resolved. Google's a freaking shady company. They make billions of dollars a year, and they frankly don't give a crap if some YouTube uploaders are experiencing problems. All of us are still going to use Google services... All of us are still going to be giving Google Ad money, and if Google can get even more money on the side, by making this heartless robot flag videos for other corporate companies, then they sure as hell will, and they aren't going to stop.

Ya know what's ironic? This very blog is powered by Google...
