Youtube sold out

I guess I can understand being a bit ticked, if only because youtube used to be awesome for finding pirated stuff, and you could watch it without having to download the stuff. I remember you used to be able to find every single episode of Justice League on youtube. Good times...

But now I mostly use it just to watch documentaries. There are a lot of good documentaries from the history channel and others that are on youtube for free. "Vietnam in HD" is good. Still you can find some shows for free still...Beyond Belief Fact or Fiction has a lot of full episodes up. That show is awesome.

Some things in life should be free, youtube makes billions off ads. They don't need to charge more.

It is owned by Google which is about 40% composed of former Microsoft employee's, so yeah no surprise they will find a way to make a buck any way they can. It will get worse as far as know free stuff. Then again most songs are only 99 cents to download off I tunes.

Youtube makes a lot, but what about Smallville? You said you wanted to watch it. I assume when a tv show is put on a website that can charge you to watch it..surely the people who own the properties to the show or whatever are at least earning something, they wouldn't say "oh we will let you have our show for free".

So youtube makes a lot, but then they aren't the only ones profiting.

I disagree. Maybe for a show that was currently going on, but a show that ended 4 years ago on over the air free TV..gimmie a break.

So do you think they should just give entire seasons of tv shows for free?

"Free TV", you know except for the unskippable commercials that helped pay for the program.

So you wouldn't mind 4 commercial breaks of 2-3 minutes at a time on YouTube then? Without the ability to skip? YouTube/Google still has to pay for the servers and electricity to allow you to use YouTube.

They generate revenue, but not enough to contribute to earnings, that means they are losing money. The surplus is payed from Google's earnings, which mainly come from search advertising.

Google makes enough. I want free smallville.

Why don't you just torrent it, like all the other people that pirate Smallville?

I'm basically asking if you think that every tv show ever made(that has ended)..should be made available for free. Or did you just mean the more current shows that have ended?

Also at the very least you could find a few episodes of the show if you have comcast. The show airs on TNT and a few episodes are always available on demand.

Obama gave free health care to everyone, why can't I watch my tv shows for free? I'm feeling entitled.

When the hell did we get free healthcare?! ObamaCare still charges you out the ass, and if you can't afford it but don't qualify for Medicaid you're going to get a yearly fee in your taxes.
