Youtube has become a dictator instead of a democracy.

In the catagories section all videos are now picked by editors to be on the front page.

In the political section the editors feature picks are:
pro-John Edwards, a liberal global warming video, a "Ron Paul is full of S!!!" video, pro-barack obama video, a pro-Mike Gravel video, a pro-Joe Biden video.....

but we get stuck with Ron Paul is full of shit.....

This is what Youtube who is owned by Google thinks about Ron. They are clearly, without a shadow of a doubt, liberals.

The Youtube debate is gonna suck.

I don't understand why that video is on the front page when it has such a bad rating from viewers. Do the ratings of viewers not mean anything?
 
they probably based it on views for the current day and since there wasnt any highly rated positive youtube videos they just threw up that one, or maybe not.
 
Surely an avaroth video deserves a guernsey ahead of that one.

No kidding. The content of the guy's message was freakin stupid, and the production quality was trash. Some limey fool babbling into a camera about stuff he knows nothing about? And that's an editor's pick? Sure smells like the flunkies of Rupert Murdoch are giving marching orders to the "editors" of youtube.
 
Google now owns YouTube, I wonder who the editor's boss is at Google?

For sure! the corruption gos deep. It sucks. :mad:
 
Neither YouTube nor Google have any obligation to structure their companies as in a democratic fashion. Furthermore they have no obligation to promote videos in a fair and balanced manner.

Does that mean I think the video is not retarded? Of course not.:p
 
I was wondering why that video had so many views. Most videos like that hardly get any views...

Avraoth's video is class-act and very powerful and intelligent. Obviously YouTube wouldn't want to promote that, or they might lose the 30-second fart-joke niche in American society.

I know. Still my point is they were a democracy before and now it is more of a dictatorship. It sucks and a lot of people are pissed off if you look at what youtubers are saying. It also shows where Google is at politically and gives us some foresight into how they might feel about Ron and what the upcoming debate will be like.

I think this is a very stupid move as far as business goes for them. They probably won't be hurt, but a Ron Paul supporter can dream....;)

I have heard worse about Google than them being liberals. They work in China and other totalitarian governments to censor the web, and they have been censoring anti-establishment (or rather pro-freedom) videos on Google Video and You Tube - resetting counters, stalling counters, basically putting in a lot of "fixes" to defraud the public and hindering certain activists that they don't like from spreading their messages.
 
What they are doing though is wrong. By letting users rate video's it implies that the top rated videos would be the ones picked. this making it appear that people are voting better for the crap they have put at front :(
 
This is going to make it almost impossible for a Ron Paul video to be seen. Without categories the videos are all lumped together with the copyrighted material, popular fan blogs and anime. We need to get these categories back!

In all honesty we should tackle this problem with as much passion as the Iowa situation because this could be just as damaging to the campaign. Those categories were VITAL to finding Ron Paul videos and new Paul supporters. Please, please, please do some action about this.
 
If you type in Ron Paul, it still only pulls up Ron Paul vids, right?
