    Well my zenith was five years doing OB horse racing for Sky Channel during my uni days, I'd be surprised if there was anything lower than that on the pecking-order!

      I would be devastated to lose access to YouTube as I enjoy it for several different purposes.
      I mainly use it to watch/listen to music videos of my favourite 100 - 150 songs from previous decades. I like to do this on a Sunday afternoon - singing along - whilst drinking a good red/white - sometimes with friends.
      As entertainment, I enjoy the clips by John Cardogan, the car guy.
      Occasionally I search for some instructional videos and agree that it can take a while to find something useful among the preponderance of dross clogging up the site.
      I have never had a problem with advertising however, and didn't even know there were Ads on there.
      A mate suggested that I should download my favourite music videos. It never occurred to me that there was any chance of losing access to them but maybe that is a possibility for the reasons mentioned above.
      I am now giving that serious consideration.

        I was made aware of him on these pages (possibly by you Rocky) - his delivery is highly entertaining.

        There is an absolute plethora of drivel on YouTube, however you really don't have to look far at all to unearth the gold.

          Yeah, John Cardogan makes me laugh. I know some find him intensely annoying. I like anything a bit outrageous.

          I was a bit freaked out at Yelta's comments as I would hate to lose my 'sing-along' video clips on YouTube.
          I had some house-guests here last week and they were totally blown away by the "eat-drink-sing" session on Sunday.
          Loved it and copied all my words for the 150-odd songs that I sing-along to.
          They will be having their own back in Brisbane.

            you tube saved me a tonne of money today Ive a one month out of warranty bosch front loader and figured out the door latch needs replacing, 5 mins on youtube, 10mins swearing at washer, part removed, 10 more minutes and ordered a $45 part and fix myself.
            that's all I use youtube for, how to fix stuff, but so many have this idea of quitting jobs to be a youtube star lol good luck to them, Ive better things to do, like finding another azkoyen!

              The change with youtube was their monetising through ads.

              If you know the details behind most clips now try at fat it out over 10 minutes and that’s to do with ads and the amount of ads that can be placed within.

              That’s where the long intros and waffle comes from.

              When you realise how much money is being made from these channels they are just trying to make a career out of it.

                I guess the thing about YouTube is that we, the user, have the freedom to just move on if we think they are a DH. I often do that if the presenter is inarticulate or talks crap.
                There is a huge amount of rubbish out there and it is up to the user whether they watch it.
