I got an email yesterday evening from YouTube regarding their partner program and some upcoming changes to it — the long and the short of it is they will no longer be allowing people to pre-sign the contract associated with the program; you’ll have to wait until you meet their stupid threshold to monetize before […]
Back on January 15th YouTube finally killed off the annotations feature completely on all videos. This came about a year and a half after YouTube ended the ability to create and edit annotations in any form, rendering those existing on videos as “stuck” so to speak, and not allowing any newly uploaded videos to take […]
After well over an hour of being down effectively globally, YouTube is back up and running as… er, well… as ever. While I’ve not yet seen any info on what the cause of the issue was, it does look like it was resolved, so we can all go back to watching whatever absurd junk we […]

So, we all know how YouTube has been, apparently, stealthily unsubscribing people from various channels over the past few years. This is a pretty well documented trend that is quite the annoyance for most users of the site, especially when compounded with how the site now no longer seems to wish to show people some, or […]
When I go on YouTube to watch a video, I expect it to just work. More precisely, I expect the fundamentals to work as they should – I’m able to log in, watch the videos I want to, and go about my day enjoying content. The subscription listing is key to this, since those content […]
