YouTube adventures -89- Is YouTube still worth all the trouble?

It used to be such a fun thing, making videos and post them on YouTube. Of course you couldn't show everything and that makes sense. I mean videos of naked people, wether it's in a game or real it's all forbidden, and 'prank' videos where you actually end up hurting people for real aren't the type of videos I would make nor do I want to watch them. But lately it seems like hardly anything is allowed anymore. I mean a character only needs to show a shoulder and immediately there are alarm bells going off in YouTube headquarters it seems or if there is five seconds of a song heard in a video and you already seem to get a strike. I don't know about you but that seems like bullshit! So I can't help but wonder...

Is YouTube still worth all the trouble?

 I'm a very outspoken person, when I'm annoyed or just feel like saying something bad then I will say it. We have that freedom here in my country and that's a great thing. I hate how YouTube is turning into a Disney channel type of bullshit where apparently the thought of a bad word might already get you in trouble. This has caused problems for some channels and might even prevent some channels from starting. People can't really be themselves anymore and we all have to live in a fake reality where we can only say oh gosh, darn it or oh gee. I mean seriously? What happened to fuck, shit, bitch or motherfucker? Let people speak their mind, when you're really pissed are you seriously going to say oh golly what a misfortune? No a normal person would most likely say fuck this shit!

I get the feeling like YouTube is turning more an more into some prison where you just can't be yourself anymore and I don't like it to say the least and this is actually one of the reasons why I don't feel like uploading anymore. Oh sure my camera sucks balls and makes it difficult to record but then to record something that doesn't sound at me at all is just not worth it. When I'm pissed I'm not going to be polite, I will be blunt and harsh like a normal person would be. I don't know what all this bullshit is about but I honestly hate it and I don't want to have any part of it. Which sucks because I enjoyed making videos and uploading them on YouTube. It was a way of expressing myself and eventhough it wasn't always good or nice it was at least my way of saying something no matter how dumb it sounded. I feel like that has disappeared and that makes YouTube a place I don't want to put videos on anymore.

So if you're starting with a channel you have to keep in mind that a lot of things won't be tolerated. Some obvious things but also some less obvious things. I can see how some people don't like the bad words but I think it's wrong to make it impossible to be yourself on YouTube anymore. It's not like the people of YouTube can check every video and that you always get caught when you say something bad but it won't surprise me that things will get worse from here on. Which means everyone that is starting with a channel on YouTube will have a much harder time than people that already have a channel and have succes with it. It might be difficult to adjust but to get started with this type of bullshit might be a lot more difficult.

Button bashing

It seems that more and more games want you to smash on the buttons of the controller, which seems like fun but knowing that this weak piece of plastic can´t handle much it´s not the smartest way to handle your controller. In the good old arcade days I could smash on buttons, ok nothing too crazy but at least those machines had a lot more resilience than these weak controllers we have now. You have to pay a small fortune for one of them and they fall apart with the slightest bit of force you use. After smashing a couple of controllers out of frustration I learned to be careful with them, but when games force you to be an agressive button basher it doesn´t really help. Button bashing is nothing new but I do seem to see it in more and more games, even games that could easily do without this abusive way of treating your controller. Instead of button bashing people came up with the idea to press a certain series of buttons in a sequence, I first saw this in God of War which was fun. But s...

Movie Monday: Mr & Mrs Smith

There are movie that might not look good at first, when you hear about it, but once you see the movie then you know that it's a fantastic movie. What really made Mr & Mrs Smith so good was the acting of the two main stars in the movie, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They had so much fun making this movie that it's an absolute joy to watch the movie. Which is good news for people that are looking for a fun movie to watch! Married to a spy? The story of Mr & Mrs Smith is pretty simple, a man is a spy and marries to a woman not knowing that she's a spy too. Apparently both of them are unaware of eachothers activities until their paths cross in their spy life, which leads to a lot of fighting and explosions. It's really not the action that makes this movie so much fun to watch but it's the humour. Mr & Mrs Smith is the type of movie that shows that a movie can be ten times better when the actors are actually enjoying themselves making this movie, instead ...

Sinful Sunday: Why are you so serious?

When I play a game I don't want to be serious, I just want to have fun and relax. Honestly real life is serious enough and I don't need that in games. Who cares who wins or who loses, just have fun and that already makes it great! Unfortunately there are gamers that take certain games way too serious, so serious that they literally forget to have fun which is quite frustrating to deal with. These kind of players are so serious that they probably left the fun behind when they started the game. Sigh... Serious gamers are lame gamers? There is nothing wrong about being serious, but I think there is a time and a place for everything. When I play a game with my friends then I'm not being serious nor am I serious when I start up some random multiplayer match. Sure it's nice to win but it's not everything! Things become more serious when there is something at stake, for example in ranked matches or during a tournament. I understand that things are more serious there an...
