YouTube/Quotes

History
""Alright, so here we are with the elephants, and the cool thing about these guys is that they have really, really, really long trunks. And that's, that's cool. (indistinct chatter in background) And that's pretty much all there is to say.""

- "Me at the zoo", the very first YouTube video, uploaded on April 23, 2005.

Criticism
""See, the future of YouTube is not you at all. It’s the corporations. They want the MythBusters here. They want the recording artists. They want people like Seth MacFarlane and his cavalcade of comedy. They don’t want you. They want the front page full of corporate content because that’s what’s working at Hulu.com... reruns of television shows. Very safe for an advertiser to put his ads up against. That’s what YouTube wants. They want corporate content up on the Most Viewed and on the Most Discussed""

- TheeStranger (2008), HULU TUBE - PHASING YOU OUT OF YOUTUBE

""[...] YouTube doesn't give a shit about fair use. They don't give a fuck who is making money off content, so long as they're getting their cut. So if one of these content creators slapped a third party content claim on my video, I'd just have to live with them making money off my hard work, writing skills, and general creativity. And that's just not something I'm interested in allowing. Not in this case.""

- A Dose of Buckley, YouTube Autopsy PDF (2015, detailing fair use)

""Notification squad where you at?""

""What Nazi Germany did, as in throw the Jews and Gypsies into concentration camps, that wasn't much different from America throwing Germans, Italians and Japanese in camps, and far less brutal than the Soviet Union sending millions to die in Siberia, after "liberating" them from the Nazis. Furthermore, it's nothing compared to what the Jews are doing RIGHT NOW THIS SECOND to the Palestinians, including burning school children alive and harvesting organs from live people.""

- A Youtube comment.

""The land of Israel belongs only to the Jewish people. NOT to the Arabs who are invaders and terrorists. Israel treats the Arabs﻿ the BEST in the world, this is why the Arabs want to live in Israel with the Jews. You who do not condone the holocaust, are an Arab Nazi! You are a Nazi! And a total ignorant. Total ignorant. You know nothing about history, justice and humanity. Nothing. What you say here is lies, incitement, hatred, and more hatred. A culture of lies and suicide murderers.""

- Addressed to a Palestinian commenter whom by the way condemns the holocaust. Selective Stupidity? We wish.
