A website that encourages its users to "Broadcast Yourself," and allows people to upload videos of nearly anything. Though it was announced in October 2006 that the site was going to be taken over by Google, the REAL takeover is already occuring, under the radar, by the following groups:
1.) Overcaffeinated fifteen-year-olds with camcorders, Windows Movie Maker, and way, way too much free time.
2.) Anime fanatics who believe that virtually every song sounds better when remixed with completely random clips from their favorite episode of Naruto.

The most popular video-hosting site. Millions of users upload their videos on virtually any subject out there (although nudity is not allowed).
Each video can be rated and commented on, which is not a good idea at all. Most of the comments in almost ANY video consists of 12-year old kids with no spelling or grammar skills; 30+ year old pseudo-intellectuals who try to tell everyone else how they're right and the others are wrong; racists; or people who just like to pick fights for no reason. If for whatever reason you feel like losing a few brain cells and want to look at the comments, be prepared to see a lot of "noob", "faggot", "gay", "Republican/Democrat", or "nigger" being used.
Aside from the comments, Youtube used to be a decent place, until the following started happening:
1. WMG started deleting music videos and muting videos with ANY piece of audio by any of the music artists under their labels
2. Viacom sued Google, which Youtube is owned by, having them delete many videos of TV shows
3. The majority of the user base became 14-year old tween girls obsessed with Twilight and the Jonas Brothers
4. Fred became the most popular user. Seriously, that alone is reason to avoid this place like the black plague.
Now, there is almost nothing left worth watching on Youtube, except for maybe some Failblog videos, Youtube Poops, or music videos of bands NOT owned by WMG. And even these can be ruined just by looking at the comments. It can be the most non-provoking, non-violent, socially-acceptable video ever, and you'll still see someone flaming the holy hell out of someone, whether it be the author, or another commenter.

"Hmm... I want to go on Youtube. What's new?"
*sees lots of Twilight and Jonas Brothers videos*
"Whoa, not cool. Ok... I'll see the POPULAR videos!"
*sees whole lot of Fred and High School Musical videos*
"Uhh... ok... lemme just do a search for a band I like"
*sees a video, clicks it, finds out it was deleted by WMG*
"Aw fuck! ... well it's ok... I'll just search for some funny stuff now... maybe someone slipping off a diving board?"
*finds video, reads comments*
"Geez... can I find some peace ANYwhere?? Ah, I know!! I'll look at a video of a cute puppy! Surely no one will have anything bad to say there!"
*finds video, reads comments*
"WHAT??? He said he wants to kick the shit out of that dog??? How dare he?!? And then he called the author a faggot?!? That's it... I'm DONE with Youtube!! DONE!!!"

Fantastic website for viewing videos it is loved by all the world. Except Viacom they hate it for some reason....
Watch and enjoy the videos on youtube but remember, no matter how much you want to, NEVER read the comments people have made. Especially those on videos that have a political connection i.e. Iraq. It may start of as an informed discussion but the comments will soon boil down to 1 of 3 basic premises.
1. 'We won world war 2 you Hitler appeasing bastard'
2. 'I suppose you would rather Saddam Hussein was still in power'
3. 'Thats typical conservative/liberal distortion of facts'
All served up with a healthy dose of abuse and words like 'bitch' 'whiny' and for some reason 'faggot' seems to be a very popular word.
Seriously it can happen on the most innocent of videos such as one for Cat Stevens, a singer who converted to Islam (uh oh), and then changed his name to Yusef Islam. I think you can see how that one got off topic!
Videos = good , comments = bad

The world's largest video website, infested by 13 year old girls who are obsessed with Edward Cullen and the Jonas Brothers, random racists and people who have nothing better to do other than post offensive comments to piss people off, and religious fanatics who are convinced that they can convert the aforementioned adolescent fangirls and morons. A minority among the Youtube community is the normal honest people who just want to listen to music and see some funny videos without seeing a bunch of morons arguing about Twilight and Christianity.
I went on Youtube to listen to music. In the middle of the song, I checked out the comments and found a bunch of illiterate morons arguing about nothing in particular.

A popular video site where people upload videos of music, pets, cartoons, special events, video games and much more.
Unfortunately, it cracks down on copyright often and most innocent accounts that only upload Japanese Vocaloid music or Nintendo games get wrongly suspended.
I just wish those accounts were back with all the videos they uploaded.
Rate up if you agree and let's do something to stop the unfairness.

Copyright is the reason why most innocent Youtube accounts get suspended. I lost good Wario Ware Gameplay and sweet Vocaloid music by Miku Hatsune because of it.
You can't copyright people's gameplay and all that other stuff. Videos are supposed to be used for entertainment.

A: This isn't "genre"core! It's "genre2"core!
B: Nah it's def "genre3"core with "genre5"core influences.
C: You deaf? It's "genre6"core, learn your genres!
And so on.
Long live youtube and its legacy of cretins.
