The week days are really the only peace and quiet I get. I cannot eat or drink or watch TV in peace if there is someone upstairs or downstairs. I can't. I can't function that way, you're taking away from my Me time, and I stop whatever I'm doing so you can stop interrupting me. That means if you're talking loud enough to where I can hear your conversations and the deadbeat savages who have fulltime jobs on social media you're interrupting me. If you're talking about the news with a friend who is also watching the same news as you at 9:00 p.m., you're interrupting me. If you are in my face, in my space, talking at me, to me,

near me... you...are...interrupting... me. There's a reason why I don't respond to people on the internet. It's simple really. I dislike people. I hate noise. I abhor interruptions. I like silence. I appreciate peace and quiet. I love being alone.

 

Man that was a load off. I feel great.

You sound like the people you hate tbh.

 

I too hate people who go on speaking without taking a breath...People who don't even stop to consider your response or the lack of it...Just blabbering away for as long as they can. At first, I used to nod without paying much attention but now I just walk out so that they realise that they are doing something wrong.

I know I'm kinda late to this party, but YouTube released

almost a week ago where they comment about the situation with livestreams and notifications.

 

Around 12:00, they talk about notifications, and basically, the way it works is YouTube chooses which subscribers get notified of new videos. I mean, if I subscribe to a channel, I'd like to get notified of what that channel does because I'm clearly interested on it. But simply working would be too logical for YouTube, so of course they had to put a stupid bot in command.

 

It seems the only way to grow a channel nowadays is to win the Recommended Lottery among billions of other videos.

[Rhoda]

I've seen a few content creators talk about this, and the added insult is just how little fanfare it seems to have been released under. As you said, it's nearly 12 minutes deep into a video and it's one you'd have to be really invested in to even find it.

 

I've been saying this for months, but YouTube is on its arse. It's a shame because despite all its faults, I adore it simply for the wealth of content. I've watched hours of free entertainment this week alone, and I'm constantly finding more content. I've discovered hobbies and expanded my interests further all thanks to it. However, it's clear that things are slowly but surely slipping and all it will take is a solid competitor that provides incentives for both superstars and amateur video makers.

 

I think DailyMotion are due a fresh wave of activity. I wouldn't be surprised that in another 12 months we see a transition happening in one way or another.

[DOUGL4S1]

One of the giants could step in and make a new platform. Maybe Amazon or Netflix. As for DailyMotion, all it needs is for some big YouTuber to move there and bring part of its subscriber base with it. YouTube became a public bot testing arena, and not all of them work. In fact, very few do.

[Jason]

For some reason Google have adopted a "if it's not broken, fix it" method when it comes to YouTube and somewhere along the way they decided that users simply do not know what they want and replaced everything with a algorithms. I miss having the top 100 videos of the day/week charts and seeing what was trending worldwide but nope, apparently that's not what users want.

 

It isn't gonna change though, and it won't be replaced anytime soon. Too big of a userbase for creators to simply up and move shop and all their monetisation is setup for YouTube, not to mention that no other video sharing site can match YouTube for money anyway. The only reason they lost when it comes to video game streaming is because they were a late second to the game behind Twitch, but Youtube's becoming a haven for non-gaming streamers due to less strict rules.

This pretty much...

 

Even if someone big moved over to dailymotion though, I can't see people migrating to it unless Google REALLY f*cks up, and I mean REALLY f*cks up, recent Facebook scandal levels of f*cking up. The simple reason for that is; the YouTubers wont migrate because their audience wont. I mean, sure, the harcore fans that really care about that youtuber might migrate with them, but the casual viewers wont bother

 

If I was Amazon right now, I'd be working on re-branding Twitch, because honestly, unless Google does have some colossal, Facebook level f*ck up, Twitch is the only platform that could realistically take over. Netflix? I doubt it. Maybe they could replace YouTube Red shows, but the entire platform? No way.

Maybe not rebranding or remaking Twitch or Netflix, but making a new platform to compete with YouTube. Many Twitch streamers have YouTube channels that they post stream highlights to, and a new platform could take this demographic. Maybe it could even have some integration with Twitch so streamers won't have to upload those 30-sec videos linking to their live. All it needs to do is work better than YouTube's system.

 

As for Netflix, they already have a solid video streaming platform and experience programming for PCs, Smartphones and even TVs (Nobody talks about YouTube's god-awful TV app). And on top of that, they have deals with big movie companies, which they could make use of to promote their platform. Heck, it could even be an opening for Indie film makers to have their work seen by many, and maybe even enter Netflix's main service, getting a few cents for each x views. Once again, all it needs to do is work better than whatever Google is trying to do...

As Trip has said.....

 

The majority of people that are short of potassium are also short on chromium and vanadium as well. Fresh garden variety green beans are about the only thing that has lots of both of these. Between bananas and green beans and A,E,D and K you'll be best for mending right up.

I'm a person who values peace and quiet. The noise that I do receive, I'd rather have it controllable than uncontrollable, and my mom's late night singing, is one of them. To be frank, she cannot sing, she sounds like RuPaul, and insists on trying to hit high notes with boisterous voice cracks, and off key vocals. Like come on. It's 8:43 right now, I'm trying to go to bed, but I cannot even think about going to bed because I have someone who has decided to launch their late American Idol career.

 

It's simple. If you can't sing, shut the f*ck up. Don't bother everybody else with your horrible ass noises. Now when you know you can't sing and still try to? Oh yeah, just go ahead and grab yourself some bleach. sh*t's mad annoying, and she goes and tells us to close our doors. She doesn't know the difference between yelling and inside voice, so what the f*ck good does closing my door do? Jesus Christ, some people just don't have any decency.

Then please go live on a cabin in the middle of the Sonoran desert, preferably without Internet connection. Then you can value all the piece and quiet you want, along with your pet cactus.

Just his own.

I threw my parakeets away. f*ck it, I said it, and my goddamn dog keeps staring at me, judging me. I don't want to see another animal right now. I'm f*cking done.

Oh my f*cking god, He truly is a psychopath, I was hoping it was just another kid trying to be dark and edgy

 

I completely missed that part, He actually sent his birds to their death because they acted like dare I say it? Birds?

 

Hope to god he never breeds or else he'll chuck his baby over the fence the first night he doesn't get his full 12 hours.

 

There are so many rescues and fosters who would have gladly went to his house to pick up the birds for free no questions asked, Hell If I lived within 100 miles I would've driven and picked them up myself, Kind of wish I knew his full name and where he lived so I could alert his local authorities so he get put on a Do Not Sell list for any animals in his future at this rate i'm actually scared for his dog and hope his mom and sister have more sense than he does and knows just how big of a douche/psychopath he really is to the point he had no regard for another living thing that he knew wouldn't survive on their own.

 

I hope those birds had enough sense to find a caring human who took them in or got them to a rescue.

Nah, he's probably one of those "I don't yawn when I see people yawning! Look at all the psyco sociopathness* I have!!" people.
