+401 YouTube was the shit back around 2006 and 2007, when the ads stayed out of the videos, comment replies were threaded, and copyright rules were really relaxed. Now it's just shit, and everyone just kind of tolerates it because, well, it's Youtube, and no one wants to move to another video site, amirite?

and also because there really ISN'T another video site that can compare to youtube so we kinda gotta suck it up for the moment :(

There are many other alternatives that are better than YouTube. Take Vimeo, for example, which keeps ads to a minimum (and most importantly, OUT of the videos) and had HD and widescreen before YouTube. The only thing it needs is a more active community; most videos only have a few comments that are days, weeks and months apart from each other.

A lot of people on Tumblr use Vimeo.

People are overeacting. I think youtube is better than ever now. Minor annoyances but you gota live with it.

I can't watch a damn video without waiting almost twice as long as the video so that it can load all the way in order to keep it from stopping mid video to load or waking up at three in the morning. Youtube just failed ever since google bought it.

that hasn't happened to me since 2008. I watch my videos in 720 and they load all the way before i get a minute in. It's not youtube's fault.

Blip.tv is probably the best alternative for you.
