YOUTUBE, the anti-Christ

[Neighbor]

Youtube the anti-ChristHi, Just a bit of exaggeration to make a point, and ask a question of some that  are better informed as to how the cyber world works

Do you think  buying Youtube tv as a replacement for Cable tv  service will be much like jumping out of the frying pan into the fire?

Do I really want Youtube popping up ads on the side of my television program viewing? Do I want my tv viewing habits linked to my internet use by them? Aren't they a little anti-Christ already?

There is a reason why YouTube has to be approved on this site.  That alone should cause one to wonder.  I don't have any experience with YouTube TV, in fact, I never hear of it.  If it is like their web site, I would never ever use it for TV.  It's bad enough when I go to YouTube and look for instructional videos and some of their very sleazy videos pop up on the side menu due to YouTube thinking for me.

I have always looked for, but cannot find, a company that allows one to select the channels they want and receive only those channels instead of the 100+ channels where HD is an extra cost.  All companies force you to purchase packages.  They force their decision onto you instead of you being allowed to choose what you want to see.  Imagine what the networks would be forced to do if a company like that came into play.  I'm not even sure how profitable it would be for a company like that, but I am sure they would get a good chunk of business if they did not price gouge.

Youtube has saved me tons of money in many how to do applications and things.  From auto repair to sight seeing around the world for free.   You have to choose your contents wisely and make decisions that you think makes sense.  Yes there is a lot of crap there too,  but it is a medium where every and anyone who has an account can place tips, ideas and or misleading materials.    Still i would never go back to the idiot box, where you are paying for commercials and programmed for you viewing.   Youtube is great. Just use it wisely and not get carried away.

I do not know what it is like in USA. I watch YouTube movies on the Internet. Most of them are very good. Christian movies there as well.

It seems evil is seen at every turn  by some on this site. Now Youtube is the anti-Christ?

There are lots of documentaries from National Geographic, and other providers that are just awesome.  I have learnt a lot about different countries, their cultures and economies and see real life situations that you may not even get with paid programming.   Last month, i watched some videos of Russian citizens showing their towns and villages and just loved it.  I don't think i could get those kind of videos anywhere else, except i go there myself, which i don't foresee in my lifetime.  I also watched some videos on how those massive ships are taken apart after their end of life service and is just fascinating stuff.    Mainstream media on the other hand is just a package designed for you too.....   Youtube is cool and there is a wealth of information and how to's there to better your daily living.  As i said before, choose wisely.   There is also enough content there, so you are never bored.  

Yes, i do my own alterations on my pants ect.  The bobin would not take up the thread and i am not an expert or was trained on the machine. Went on the tube and got my answer, in fact several videos. Other than that, i would have had to take the machine in for repairs.   Youtube is also seen by some professionals as robbing them of income as it has provided solutions  to the common man that you would have to pay the pros.  For many who are struggling to make ends meet, this is a blessing, while i can sympathize with the shop owners ect.

Peace:

It is the normal paranoia...meanwhile Goolag data-mines everyone and sells that info, pretending to be your friend.

When ya buys a gun and shoots a bullet, it is up to you how that is done.

'Tube is just such a commodity in this our (hopefully for a while longer) free country.
Choose browsers and search engines wisely, they are the ones that set up the 'Tube ads.

Like others, I have been helped in many tedious tasks by judicious application of 'Tube information.

There are many Christian shows too, some would not be available without the 'Tube.

I don't know if it is around anymore, but there was a site called GodTube. It was like YouTube but only had Christian base videos.  But I have not come across it in a while so I do not know if it is still up and running or even if GodTube is the right name.

Might want to read the opening post a little more carefully.
