Sorry, but if I don't see the Kersal Massive daily,
I just don't feel gangster enough to face the day.

Meh, fair enough if they want to crack
down on sexually explicit etc videos...
Youtube, because of it's popularity is a very family, pre-watershed website. I agree that it should be.
There are thousands of equally good and popular websites which focus more on the nsfw and less family driven videos.
I don't really see what all the fuss is about.
And of course the YouTube community is in upfoar. They LOVE being in uproar. Every single comment on youtube is 'fuck you you fucking fuckers, you're all fucktards'
Seems like a community who like moaning having a good moan about something.
Like I said... Meh.
Edit : Also, it wont work.

People don't follow the rules for posting and now that something's being done about it they're all having a whinge.
And I hardly thing torrents of profanities and badly spelled comments are going to change much.
I won't be participating. I get what I want out of youtube, that's enough for me.

Exactly
Youtube is popular because they provide a good service.
If they stop providing that then people will use one of the other million streaming sites.
100% meh!

Personally, I like Vimeo a bit more, despite lack of content.

Um...
So YouTube are going to make sweary videos harder to find? And I'm supposed to be upset about this for why?

It's a bigger issue than that, they've been messing with the stats of videos that spread political activism since day one.
Like on NuffRespects video;

Time to hit em where it hurts.

What are we angry about this time?
A website decided to enforce it's rules and now people (who are nothing but vile, racist and thuggish in thier comments) think that they should have control over it?
Yeah, definately something to get all worked up about, what with the wars, famines and cruelty in the world.

The boycott is on, get involved or don't.
I don't care.

Surely it's their website and they can do what the crap they like with it.
There are plenty others to choose from.
By telling Google what they can and can't do you are censoring them. Well perhaps censoring is the wrong word. Still it's their choice.
Now if it was an internet wide ban on NSFW content then that would be censorship and I would be worried. Till then try redtube.

They should censor that music!
I can't say that removing the sexually suggestive content bothers me in the slightest, if I was 13 again and this shit was available back in 1991 then I'd be pissed off due to it interfering with my wanking habits.
Just so long as I get to keep seeing things like pelicans eating pigeons and people recreating music from video games in ever more convoluted ways I honestly couldn't give a toss.

I would be amazed if this protest even registers on their site-visit stats.
I would also be amazed if more than 5% of YouTube users are ever even aware of the changes they've made.

Censorship?
Why don't you have a go at the beeb for having a watershed, or complain that you can't phone in to This Morning and shout "CUNT" down the phone?
It's free speech, man!

Ummm...
Free speech means that I can't shut you up. It doesn't mean that I'm obliged to give you a platform.
It's not a violation of free speech for the people who own a website to decide that they don't want to host your video for whatever reason (or no reason at all). It's only a violation of free speech if YouTube has an obligation to show everything posted. There is no such obligation.
Sod off.

Not another text based Youtube video rant about how "The Man" is "forcing" "something" onto the "loyal users" who "spend" each day eating "sandwiches"
while watching "10 minute" clips of "Charlie Brooker's Screen"wipe on repeat
