                  @savorysword I just throw some bugs and stuff I find in games on there. I don't care if they're deleted.

                  @savorysword I only really use it if I'm linking to a specific song as a recommendation, but in terms of personal listening I'm very much an album oriented person and don't use youtube as a source for new music.

                @nerthos Yeah but it's where everyone goes so if you're a content producer that's pretty much the only option. The video that got me almost 30K views on YouTube got me a tenth as much as Newgrounds, and Newgrounds is one of the more popular alternatives.

                  @mrmattimation Sucks for producers. Just boycott the place or start an alternative.

                    @nerthos Right, but if we start an alternative, even less people will go there. Do you see where I'm going with this?

                      @mrmattimation Yes, but things will get worse and worse by just standing there. So it's basically reduce viewership or just get slowly strangled to death.

                        @nerthos There are alternatives being started, but they're being started by bigshots and for the most part it's privatized. TomSka claimed he's starting a public video service called TurboPunch but I've yet to see anything come out of that. At the end of the day, as bad as YouTube is, we as content producers are forced to stick with it because our viewership would be cut in half at least if we tried to move somewhere else, and a lot of them rely on ad revenue to live.

                                  @mrmattimation The issue is, if you want to make a living generally you have to work in an area that pays, as opposed to an area you love.

                                      @mrmattimation Hey, I'd be slaying criminals or teaching philosophy if what I love were an option, but it isn't. If you don't like the system there are options, you can grab a machete, an axe and a hoe and go clear an area of forest, build a hut, start farming, and eventually start a town like my grandfather did decades ago, but if you value luxuries like electricity and tap water, working a regular job or barely scraping by is the price you have to pay.

                                                    @nerthos His idea is that here in the West we are brought at birth into a place with a puritanical work ethic which only seems to reward us after we are too old to enjoy it. There is a fable about an ant and a grasshopper in which the ant works all day and survives but the grasshopper dies because he plays a fiddle instead of hoarding food. Some have rewritten the story, giving the grasshopper a job at the end in a different insect's house to play dinner music for a wage of food, thus leaning the moral in favor of "following your cutie mark". The ant is following his vocation by working all day, but that's not the vocation of the cricket.

                                        @nerthos You can slay criminals and teach philosophy, but you would have to deal with the consequences. In any case, I bet both of those jobs could turn a profit, hypothetically speaking.
