YouTube Spanner

Someone who grows up in the era of YouTube and doesn't have an attention span longer than three minutes of a unicorn getting its organs removed.
Me:Hey Andrew do you wanna go see No Country For Old Men it won like 50 oscars.
Andrew:No man that movies too long i have to sit here and watch 5 minute movies of a guy playing a double fretted guitar for 13 and a half hours.
Me: You Are a fucking YouTube spanner

youtubification

Effect of ubiliquity of internet video postings upon politics and society, especially the increased need for vigilence by public speakers.
"YouTubification. . . . Thanks to sites like You Tube, folk in the public eye need to be forever vigilant about what they say and do."
- Ross Bowring, http://www.rossbowring.com/my_weblog/2006/10/on_247365.html

"And then you have the youtubifiation of the world so you're always online literally, not figurative. . . . You're going to have a whole new generation of politicians {who} are going to live under a different level of scrutinization, the likes of which none of us have ever conceived. . . . And the reality that you're either going to be more authentic or more tepid -- one or the other -- you have 2 choices."
- Gavin Newsom, San Francisco Mayor, 12/19/2008 on KFOG

Youtubeversity

1. The ability to get valuable information and tuition from youtube videos.

2. (Derogatory) Thinking you have a valid education because you've watched some youtube videos.
1. I learned how to play that song from free online lessons at Youtubeversity.

2. Pay no attention to Rob's political rants. He got his P.H.D. in Political Science at Youtubeversity.

YouTube Ghetto

The weird, disturbing part of YouTube. Usually found by watching lots of music videos, gradually working your way down into the area where you can find strange videos about shark people and perverted optical illusions, and eventually ending in YouTube Poops and other rejects that somehow got twelve million views, regardless of the fact that you spend all day on the site and have never once even heard of that video.
Step #1: Random music video
Step #2: Video at the VERY BOTTOM of the recommendations about some weird fish boy in Korea
Step #3: Video about some weird plague in some third world country whose name you can't pronounce and has too many syllables
Step #4: Welcome to the YouTube Ghetto - enjoy your stay

YouTube Police

People who spend the majority of their time looking through the comment section of YouTube videos with the sole purpose of searching out trolls, little kids or idiots with comments blatantly ignorant to the content of the video or that just don't make much sense, and 'policing' them.
littlekid11 - "lol cod is so much better than this dumb minecraft peice of shit"

MrHouightyToighty007 - "First of all, CoD is only popular because it has guns, and makes you kill other people. Secondly, CoD is for little kid fags like you who don't know how to appreciate a good game like Minecraft at all. Thirdly the audience of games like CoD like yourself are entirely different than people who play this game, so your comparison is entirely incorrect as it is."

dude_guy321 - "Stop being a YouTube police in the comment section and do something useful with your time. Jeez."
