YouTube says the battle with TV is already over

YouTube does have some absolutely wonderful content, some unique content, and some very enjoyable weekly video shows that i enjoy very much...

But...

YouTube is also a free pulpit for every false prophet of doomsday, every lunatic fringe cult, every sort of grand conspiracy claim, and all sort of racism, sexism, massive amounts of outright misinformation, hate and fear mongering. It is amazing and frightening to see how many people are hard at work trying to mislead as many gullible ignorant people as possible.

Attempting to contact a living person for support issues or reporting issues is nearly impossible. While YouTube does have a flagging system, the flags do not actually seem to work unless the content is a copyright violation or blatant porn.

YouTube has great potential, but the people behind YouTube appear to be asleep at their desks. They need to at the very least start actually enforcing their stated rules.

@Mikanojo I actually have seen some well-prepared but controversial presentations mysteriously disappear on Youtube, with their producer putting them up again later saying they had been taken down (apparently after complaints by certain groups).

I much prefer to see Youtube in its present state.

Well to be honest people still do watch their LOCAL network news/weather/sports. Until the networks online start doing things that pertain to the local areas they can't completely negate local TV right now.

"You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” ― Richard Buckminster Fuller

The content of both YouTube and TV is about 80% garbage.

But there are some great videos on YouTube and some great TV programs!
