Why is it that the people in charge of YouTube find it necessary to update their systems so damn often? They update so often that I wonder if they even know what they're doing, or if they're even testing their shit before putting it up. YouTube keeps coming out with ideas for new features apparently, and sometimes, they are useful. I'll give them that. However, a lot of times that they update, some of the basic features get fucked to hell. Good luck trying to delete old messages, because YOU CAN'T DO IT NOW! Good luck trying to upload that important video that you've been holding on to for after the update process, because WE FUCKED THE UPLOADER!
YouTube is one giant clusterfuck of a mess sometimes. That's not a very good way to run a web site that is supposed to make money. It doesn't help to run ad-supported video on your site if the fucking thing won't load the video OR the ads! You would think that they would easily see this shit in the testing process, which leads me to believe that.... there IS NO TESTING PROCESS.
Maybe I shouldn't be bitching about a site that offers a nice free service though. They must have thousands of servers pumping countless bandwidth at all times. The thing is, there are alternative sites that offer the same service with better support that some people switch to. I think that YouTube people just don't try so hard because they know that they are the most well-known, and people will use their system regardless of how shitty it is because it offers the most exposure. What a bite in the ass!
three times. I think it's time for someone to get fired. :P Posted by Xelger at 3:08am on Oct/02/2008
