YTA 7.3 - Favoritism... the New YouTube?

	Duration: 03:41 minutes Upload Time: 2007-11-14 23:15:41 User: YourTubeAdvocate :::: Favorites :::: Top Videos of Day
Description: PLEASE READ the description. I've said it before, I'll say it again; it's NOT about the money! It's about the recognition and the promotion and the community. It's about showing those who've put in so much time and energy over the last few months/years that their work is appreciated. It's about a level-playing field where everyone is treated fairly and equally. It's about not playing favorites within the community.

Annaconda1984 ::: Favorites  2007-11-15 21:18:53 i don't want to be in the partnership programm but I just can't watch injustice and have to support those who are suffering from it, thats all. It's more about the moral aspect... __________________________________________________
Annaconda1984 ::: Favorites  2007-11-15 21:26:56 sorry my bad, my 6am-no sleep formulation, I was just abit dissapointed about it all. half of it was meant as a joke but I didn't actually base it on the comments. I've seen videos by all of the people and I've also seen them on stickam. Maybe I have to met the people personally but I did get a rough impression...(-: ps.rated your comment thumbs up. __________________________________________________

DoggBisket ::: Favorites  2007-11-15 22:21:57 From the tone, I get the feeling you are a subscriber snob. Maybe I am wrong. If you want to be a partner, just bug YouTube until they make you one. Personally I don't subscribe to partners, becsause once money for views enters the equation, the motive and methods become questionable. __________________________________________________
LeonWestbrook ::: Favorites  2007-11-15 22:23:56 Shut the fuck up already. No one cares about your new OMG TROLLING/I HATE SLUT "movement". The only movement is the total bullshit coming out of your mouth. You have a small penis and you are a failure at life in general. Please be an hero. __________________________________________________
colbent ::: Favorites  2007-11-15 22:30:49 I'm not sure that "community interaction" plays any role at all in partnership. I'd go as far as saying that it play NO role in anyone getting partner'd so, I mean, I don't know. A lot of partners do seem pretty weird but I'm sure youtube has their reasons, most probably involve money or something. look at how many local tv stations are partners, it has to mean something, maybe? __________________________________________________
jipsiksdaughter ::: Favorites  2007-11-15 22:48:48 Oh leon, you have NO idea what you are fucking with. My suggestion is to button your face and stop thinking that anyone wants to hear your opinion. As is pure usual, you aren't smart enough nor talented enough to understand the level on which I exist, so please just crawl back to your channel and try to find something to stop your butthurt. I am the next generation of youtube. if you don't like it, please darwin yourself now. __________________________________________________
nrgins ::: Favorites  2007-11-16 00:28:07 Annaconda1984: And I commend you for speaking out for what you believe is right. I'm doing the same. You say that you "can't watch injustice." "Injustice" means something is not just or is unfair. What is unfair? What did YouTube promise that they haven't delivered on? They have made some people partners while passing over others. But isn't it their site to do with what they want? In what way are they being unfair? You see, somewhere along the line, (continued) __________________________________________________
nrgins ::: Favorites  2007-11-16 00:28:38 [Part 2] a bunch of rules for how to be made partner were developed. The rules stated that if you had a lot of views or a lot of subscribers, then you'd be made partner. They also stated that if you were heavily involved in the community and replied to a lot of video comments, which shows that you care about the community, then you'd be made partner. Oh, and another one was that you couldn't be made partner if you just joined the site. (continued) __________________________________________________
nrgins ::: Favorites  2007-11-16 00:28:58 [Part 3] You had to be on the site for a significant amount of time before you could be made partner. Now, all of these rules were in place. But YouTube didn't keep to these rules! They gave partnerships to people without of view or subscribers. They gave partnerships to people who were brand new to the site. And they even passed over people who replied to most of their video comments (which was one of the strongest qualifiers for the partnership program, (continued) __________________________________________________
nrgins ::: Favorites  2007-11-16 00:31:39 [Part 4] since it showed a commitment to the YouTube community). So this was very unfair of YouTube to not follow the rules on how to be made a partner! The only problem was: YouTube never made up those rules. Those rules were created by people; and those people complained when the rules weren't followed. But isn't the site YouTube's to do what they want with? And don't they have a right to give partnerships to whoever they want to. So I'll ask again: (continued) __________________________________________________
nrgins ::: Favorites  2007-11-16 00:32:07 [Part 5] in what way is YouTube being "unfair" or "unjust" by not giving certain people partnerships? Even if you or I feel they "deserve" to be partner, using whatever criteria we come up with, it's not for us to decide! It's for YouTube to decide who they want to be partner, and what criteria they use. Let's say for example that I'm passing out candy for Halloween. You and your friends come to my door and I give you candy, and you're very happy. (continued) __________________________________________________
nrgins ::: Favorites  2007-11-16 00:32:27 [Part 6] You say, "Thank you, mister!" Then some other kids come, and I give them candy. But then another group of kids come and, instead of giving them candy, I give them toys. Well, now, though you were originally happy with the candy, when you see I'm giving out toys, you feel "cheated." So you come to me and say, "That's not fair! You gave us candy, but you gave them toys!" And then you continue to say, "Our costumes are just as good as their costumes! (continued) __________________________________________________
nrgins ::: Favorites  2007-11-16 00:47:17 [Part 7] We deserve toys just as much or more than they do." But it's not about "deserving" one or the other. It's that both the candy and toys are mine to do what I want with. If you're not happy with it, then you can just not come around and get free stuff!
