I use YouTube quite a bit, but I never upload stuff.  I just like watching classic music videos

Yeah, I have XP, now if only my computer could handle that would be the next thing to figure out. My computer always sounds like it is on a respirator machine.

edit:  I did upload a few music videos, but only ones that weren't already on there.  Apparently I violated the terms of service, and after I try to log in today, I get a message saying my account has been permanently suspended.  Remember when YouTube used to be great?  Now it sucks.  I'll still go there to watch videos and stuff, but eventually with all these legalities going on over there, there might not be any videos left to watch :\'(

Yeah, lots of people have had their accounts deleted/suspended. It's not YouTube's fault since Viacom forces them to take it off, but it's still a bummer. It's unpredictable exactly what will stay and what won't, but it's basically anything copyrighted that they seem to go after. There've been lots of old-school videos as well as other things that have vanished (i.e. there was a guy who uploaded tons of classic Unsolved Mysteries segments).

Best thing to do if you see something you like is to watch it right then, 'cause you might not have the chance again, lol. I have a boombox hooked up to the computer as its "speakers", so I actually taped quite a bit off there. At least I have the audio. ;)

P.S. I have an account, but all I do is leave comments and watch videos. When/if I have time, I might upload some stuff, but I'm trying to play it on the safe side 'cause they'd probably delete me too if I put up, say episodes of shows, commercials or old VH1 footage.

Things are rapidly vanishing from YouTube.  Usually if I see a video or a clip I really like, I steal the video from YouTube and download it to my PC so I can watch it whenever I want.  I need to get a DVD burner, so I can burn them to a disc, and make my own Music Video collections on DVD

^That's a good idea, I should do that sometime. Especially with anything rare.

Shouldn't the videos you watch(ed) and after they're watched,they're deleted and I now have a page of the same videos,the box should be empty,Should I talk to youtube about this problem? ???

For the problem videos, try to cancel the subscription and just check out the ( peoples) id's once in a while to view new videos/songs they post.

I understand, but it's easier if you just edit your subscriptions and delete those that are causing trouble. Alternatively, go here to their help center.

I think I'll try that and we'll see what happens.I think I subscribed to too many videos.

I think I subscribed to too many videos.

Then you know what the answer is, as to what to do.

Written By: Howard on 10/09/11 at 7:26 am

What I did yesterday first I unsubscribed to all of them then I subscribed to the ones that I will watch,next thing I knew the whole page of videos disappeared then it reappeared again.Must be a glitch in youtube,a few years ago there used to be a deletion button when you finished watching a video you deleted it but now there's none.
