Now what's going on with YouTube?

[D'Snowth]

Evolution on the internet has to be like the worst form of evolution ever.

 

[Drtooth]

Yeah... it's like it goes from human back to fish looking thing crawling back to the sea. It's Devolution if anything.

YouTube actually took down the YouTube friends option! And I had about 200 friends on YouTube! It's just plain confusing.

Yeah, they supposedly now lump "friends" and "subscribers" together, and you're right, it IS confusing... because whenever I log it, and I have to select "Show uploads only" on the homepage, I see the activity of people who I never friended, but are listed as friends now because I subscribed to them.

Yeah. Two Muppets to help describe all this evolution:

What I want to know is why everybody else on YouTube has gotten a free pass except me.

By that, I mean how come everybody else still gets to uploaded videos longer than 15 minutes but I don't? Why was the 15-minute limit re-instated for me and not everyone else?

I belive you have to enter your cell phone number somewhere to "verify" your account before you can...athough I did that and I still get alerts to verify it so I dunno :/

Also if I uploaded something more than 10 minutes it would probably take hours

I am NOT giving Google MY cell phone number... the last thing I intend to do is hand over any of my personal information to Cyber-Hitler.

It has nothing to do with cell phone numbers. I guess it has something to do with view count; I can do it on my accounts.

And, who really cares about YouTube friends? People just send 'em willy-nilly and I basically ignore all of them now.

A good number of my "friends" were, but a lot of them aren't, you included. Of course, I subscribe to you and Snowth anyway.... so that wasn't an issue. There were friends that had some pretty wacky tastes that are similar to mine outside of the Muppets, I had to subscribe to them too to get their favorites and likes. That wasn't a huge deal. It's just the new channel designs is clunky, and I get news of those who lose their accounts through those pages of friends (whom I had to subscribe to).
