Is YouTube dead?

Not dead, but their hipster cred is down the YouTubes.


Not arguing, but how many of their 100,000,000 visitors do you think would apply the label 'hipster' to themselves?  I don't think Google is going to do anything with it except make it more profitable.  

You want a conspiracy theory?  Maybe, for some reason that us lay people can't fathom, this is just another step in their development of a true Artificial Intelligence.

Comedy Central pulls all their clips from You Tube. Well that'll increase YT's profitability...

It is very very '60s, being a spoof of the Bond and other spy movies that were all the rage at the time, as well as TV shows like Man from U.N.C.L.E..  I'm assuming you saw it much later in reruns; still funny but not the same immediacy.

Speaking of which, I saw a bit of the orig Casino Royale on cable last nite -- '60s to the max! I got a headache from the set design alone.

I don't see the error in the HTML either, but I couldn't miss the one in the headline. Yeesh, they spelled Annandale right in the first sentence of the first freakin' graf, but they could manage to get it in the hed?
