Youtube You're Losing me

Youtube, you used to be so useful, you used to fill the slow times during my days with laughter and happiness and link me to more videos than I could watch in ten lifetimes. Now you rape my eyes and anger me with every click onto your sight. I still peruse though countless music videos and looking for tidbits about various interesting things but all with a caveat. Youtube you sold your soul, you gave up the one thing that made you great and without as much as a "Sorry" which is all I wanted. You fill my video screen with pop-ups that make porn sites tolerable, you flash obnoxious ads on all sides of the screen and pollute my experience with channels that are basically advertisements. Youtube you were billed as a great free site and now you are no longer free. The price is my patience, annoyance and frustration. You sold out in the worst way and now you expect the same amount of devotion. This isn't how it was supposed to be as the internet spread free sites and videos were only supposed to become free-er and now you've put the brakes on that movement. Youtube if I made a video that bad mouthed you would you show it? Would you show it if it had corporate sponsorship?

Someone(s) Worth Rooting For

I am admit-ably a huge University of Kansas basketball fan. The Jayhawks playing in March is reason to call in sick, to change my schedule and cancel dates. However I can always appreciate another team to root for, and could probably use fans more than the beloved Crimson and Blue just down the road: enter Haskell College.
