anti-competive? no im sorry i shouldnt of used that word. it means youtube is illegaly dealing with competition.
i should have said anti-trust.
can i go ahead and explain that one?
Again, not baiting you at all. Go ahead, how is youtube behaving in a way that would trigger anti-trust laws?
EDIT: I have an end goal in mind by the way, I'm asking the questions with a goal in mind.
it isnt a publisher it is a fourm that hosts content.
and it is used in multiples more than vimeo, etc. in U.s.a.
but they are choosing who to promote/demote that makes earnings from youtube in clandestine ways
That isn't anti trust. A few thoughts:
1) They work for their shareholders to maximize revenue. They are legally obligated to do so.
2) There are only so many slots available on the home page.
3) In order to maximize profit they algorythmically optimize recommendations on the home pages based on data about what will generate the most revenue.
It's their site, their front page. They can do whatever they want.
4) Users FREELY give youtube their content. No one is forcing anyone to give youtube content. People do it on their own without any co-ersion.
5) Once a user signs up for an account, they sign a user agreement that is SPECIFICIALLY DESIGNED TO GUARANTEE THE PROTECTION OF YOUTUBES CORPORATE AND PROFIT INTERESTS.
There is not a single thing in the user agreement that implies, suggests or in any way provides protection to users that FREELY give youtube their content.
THINK OF IT THIS WAY: Youtube is a consignment store. Users freely give Youtube their content, no one forced them, IN THE SHEER HOPE AND PRAYER that they will make a bit of money from this content they give away for free. Youtube only promotes stuff that sells the best and the rest kind of fades into the background.
Then, these same users that freely gave Youtube their content for free IN THE HOPE AND PRAYER that they will make a bit of money complain. I have no idea what they are complaining bout honestly. Youtube isnot going to promote shit that doesn't sell, they are going to only on promote things that people watch + things that advertisers feel safe putting their ads on.
NOTE: I hate Youtube as much as you. I am just pointing out that the Youtube union makes no sense at all. Well ... it makes sense but only to Europeans and Germans. I know that because I have had the great misfortune of getting to know enough of them to know they are really dumb.
"i have an idea in mind but i wanna hear your failing ideas first before i share my good idea withyou"
am i supposed to appreciate this sort of talk? you see how you sound... baiting?? lol. its whatever. you are mybe right about youtube but a snarky fag and noone like to talk with that sort of person.
