I've been noticing when clicking Viewing Videos of All Times or whatever it is, I noticed that NONE of Britney Spears' videos were included in it.

I just have a question, is YouTube also excluding Britney Spears from their video rankings? Womanizer has over 50 million views, but it is NOT ranked as a highly viewed video. Tibbydibby (talk) 21:23, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
Why isn't there a section on subculture that was created after YouTube? Pop cultural things such as the YouTube Poop meme is growing to a recognisable infamous state that people want serious information on its background and development, rather than keeping it to the likes of Urban Dictionary [1], Encyclopedia Dramatica → (Copy-paste:encyclopediadramatica.com/YouTube_Poop), and Uncyclopedia [2].

Some videos that have audio that is not approved copyright use are being silenced. I have two screen shots that maybe helpful. http://i40.tinypic.com/3462n7s.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/2m0h0y.jpg
and for a source, here you go. http://www.nationalpost.com/news/story.html?id=1180045 Patrolman89 (talk) 01:13, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
Should this be added somewhere in the article? Tempest115 (talk) 19:15, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
I just noticed that youtube is no more blocked by my ISP. I live in Tehran, Iran. Lordfkiller (talk) 17:54, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
Asking people in other cities, it seems the website is not blocked in Iran anymore. Lordfkiller (talk) 18:11, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Please remove Iran from the list of countries blocking YouTube. Lordfkiller (talk) 11:51, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
The most popular phenomenon of Youtube is Youtube Poop. It's about making videos with sound clips from "The Unholy Triforce", and Hotel Mario. RocketMaster (talk) 19:34, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
We need a section that discusses YT's business model in detail. For example, YT sells front page ads for $165,000/day. There should be info on partnership programs, the new ads, etc. How profitable is YT right now and how has the situation been improving over the past few quarterS? I'm not an expert on this subject, but I'm sure someone here is. Wikipedian06 (talk) 08:47, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
This is described as geolocational filtering by the Open Net Initiative which tracks censorship on the net. http://opennet.net/blog/2008/03/youtube-and-rise-geolocational-filtering
The actual mechanism used to block is documented by Google http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/2.0/reference.html#youtube_data_api_tag_media:restriction
To check the contents of any videos xml manifest simply use the web based API http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/[video id]
In many cases the video is blocked from countries due to licensing issues (music videos and NBA clips) however some are done for political (legal) reasons such as Thailand's block of any video critical of their King. Germany, Poland, and France also block all forms of hate speech.
It would be great if someone were to add some of this research to the page, particularly when discussing censorship by other countries.

Considering how Wikipedia is pretty serious about references and copyrights and such, it's strange how so many articles on songs link to music videos of the song on Youtube, which is a copyright violation. I've never seen any opposition to this, either. Daniel Christensen (talk) 04:56, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
When I signed up for youtube on November 07, 2006 i have posted MANY videos well above the 10 minute limit, and another user who joined on November 25, 2006 has also uploaded videos above the 10 minute limit, one of which is 36:04 minutes long. The wiki on youtube says that the limit was created on March 2006. So I wanted to know, is this info correct even though the sources are correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by BronxNY (talk • contribs) 19:50, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

I heard that if you had over 500 subscribers you COULD post videos over 10 minutes. But, you start losing people unless it's a movie. charlestrippy has a video 4 hours long! missalicia1994 23:44, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
I just noticed today that an edit I made a while back changing it to 256 has been undone. The 232kb/s seems to be the average bitrate with 256kb/s apparently being the max bitrate according to: http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1216529&postcount=6
I don't know if this counts as original research (hence why I brought it up here first) but at least the info should be varifiable using MediaInfo.Nintendo Maniac 64 (talk) 06:02, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
I couldn't believe it when they said that normal and some high quality videos have mono audio. Watch any video of an old stereo recorded song through headphones and it is so obvious that it is stereophonic. Daniel Christensen (talk) 03:04, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

This uses H.264/MPEG-4 AVC for the video and AAC for the audio, so it is not a traditional YouTube video, which uses H.263 video and MP3 audio. YouTube has been experimenting with this format recently, and it is interesting that the Tab Hunter song was uploaded on 4 Feb 2009, which makes it very new. Most of the older YouTube videos do not seem to have this option available. There are some original research problems here, since YouTube has not announced a formal launch for this type of video, and there is very little about it in the tech blogs either. The article now needs some updating, but it would be difficult to give a reliable source.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 18:32, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
Someone should rewrite this section to integrate the "widescreen and HD videos" in to it, instead of having a seperate section about HD. I tried to do it myself but wasn't sure how to put it whilst maintaining sources. Smurfy 22:55, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
In recent months I've read of various entertainers, politicians, professors, organizations, the pope, and others establishing "YouTube channels". Is every YouTube user account a "YouTube channel"? Or are "channels" different from ordinary user accounts? I thought I'd find the answer to that question in this article. I just went through and found every occurrence of the word "channel" in this article, and found no attempt to address this question. Michael Hardy (talk) 02:56, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
Thank you. Michael Hardy (talk) 04:14, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
.....OK, I've added the above information to the article in an early paraagraph. Michael Hardy (talk) 04:29, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
It would appear that settings on accounts can vary: I submitted a comment on a musician's youtube channel and was told that my comment would appear on the page only after being approved. Some time later it did appear. Would I be right in surmising that the person who needs to approve it is the owner of the channel? Or could it be someone working for youtube instead? Michael Hardy (talk) 04:13, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
I was referring to comments on a channel, not to comments on a video. Michael Hardy (talk) 20:58, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

It might be helpful to put what Version of Flash Youtube currently uses; is it 7, 8, 9, or 10? (Unless you just need 7 as a minimum). It could really be helpful to know if Youtube uses the superior Flash 10 or not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by FstrthnU (talk • contribs) 05:58, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
It may be interesting to note that the many of the flash program version problems are happening mainly to videos with copyright issues. Some have theorized that this may be one of youtube's methods of enforcing copyright on its users, however this has yet to be proven. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.74.217.35 (talk) 21:23, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
There are some formats that are not yet in the table. fmt=34 and fmt=35 are in High Quality. [12] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.179.245.172 (talk) 19:15, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
Fmt34 and fmt35 are not mentioned in the article at the moment because they are experimental and do not work for all videos. There has also been a sourcing issue, because blogs and tech forums are not considered to be a reliable source. It will be interesting to see if YouTube announces an official launch of fmt34 and fmt35, and if it does, it will definitely go in the article.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 12:50, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

I have noticed that there has been heavy criticism of Youtube Partners by many Youtube users because of their extra benefits and ability to receive ad revenue (not to mention being featured on the main page and most viewed page constantly), should be add this to the criticism section? Nite Owl II 06:55, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
It is unlikely that we have heard the last of this story, but at the moment it is a breaking news item and affects only people in the UK. Wikipedia is not a primary news source, so to avoid WP:RECENTISM it may be necessary to wait to see how things develop. For example, will UK viewers no longer be able to watch Avril Lavigne - Girlfriend, which is the all-time most viewed video on YouTube, with around 117 million views?--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 20:52, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
youtube site have not blocked music videos to UK users i tested it out —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.31.179.191 (talk) 16:40, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
