| Wasn't ads enough? I miss the old youtube. An example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZV34FIPW6A&feature=PlayList&p=fik0WbzlviE&index=3 |
| Wow, Youtube. =_= |
| What the heck? Irratating enough they remove some videos (like removing the HD ones over the poorer quality ones), but this is insane! What next, 9.99 a month just watch unlimited videos a month? Probably. |

| wow omgosh that is ridiculous >< and here i thought youtube was all about sharing videos and stuff for free >.> |

| I'm so glad my account was deleted now. |

| I don't know about you, but I'd rather pirate the whole series than pay a dollar to watch one episode once. Even the illegal subs have better quality and less money. |
| Another thing is, why RENT 1 episode (for a 24 hour period) when you can either buy the actual dvd or just watch it in another site absolutely free? Youtube won't gain much $$ from this change. |

Youtube won't gain much $$ from this change. As if anime is the thing they're aiming for. Of course not. Also, there's bound to be people paying for this. Seeing how this new system barely costs money and effort to implement, it's always profit. |
| The fuck is that? I mean, the only time I've ever watched an anime on Youtube was Ikoku Irokoi Romantan, but that was because I couldn't find it anywhere else. But really Youtube? You're probably gonna lose money for that instead of make any. |

Chavez said: This. Just like the iTunes store. Songs are relatively cheap, compared to CDs which cost tens of dollars. It shouldn't take that long for like movies to be downloaded for a relative cheap price than DVDs (if they haven't done it successfully already.)Also, there's bound to be people paying for this. Seeing how this new system barely costs money and effort to implement, it's always profit. Though renting does seem a tad silly. Since it's not permanent or anything, unlike the iTunes store. But it's a start. With streaming videos that is. If the fansubbing of foreign Japanese animation gets more popular, which I doubt will happen quickly, and pass a certain threshold, then surely expect some opportunist companies to start chargin', and to see some people start payin'. Oh wait, crunchyrolls are doing that already, right? |

| That is a load of shit. This makes me want to pirate even more than I already do. |
| And this completely defeats the purpose of "new" marketing techniques for anime. Fuck you, YT and anime distribution companies. And for that matter, Hulu too (since they're going to start charging soon). Drunk_Samurai said: That is a load of shit. This makes me want to pirate even more than I already do. This. |

| i just download them |
| ...Well it's kind of a step in the right direction as far as legal streaming goes. I mean it's still pretty bad, but trying to stay positive here. I know FUNimation doesn't have all its series for rent as I was just recently watching the SUB version of Spice and Wolf on there. The dub you need to rent, but they do have a few series up for free. 'Renting' anime is a pretty ridiculous concept. If I'm paying money for the stuff, you can bet I'm buying it to add to my collection. Also I think I'd much prefer if they at least let you watch the first 3-5 episodes free before insisting you pay for it, so at least you can get a feel for the series and decide you like it. |
| It's reasons like this why I don't like Funimation anymore. That's bologna man. The whole point to watching videos on Youtube is that you can do so for FREE. Now they are just becoming another Crunchyroll. Man, I guess it's because internet is more popular than Television these days. First ads, then pop up ads on videos, then commercials....now this! v_v |

ki said: and I doubt those anime viewers use YouTube to watch anime. At least I hope they don't. I only use Youtube for really hard to find stuff that can't be DLed. RedNBlackStars said: ki said: RedNBlackStars said: Unfortunately I don't think it's going to go away anytime soon. I'm sure anime viewers are just a small part of all the people who have YouTube accounts, and I doubt those anime viewers use YouTube to watch anime. At least I hope they don't.We can stop it... At least that's what I think. If YT loses many accounts (and I mean MANY) then it will lose money as well => they'll stop. True, you're right, anime viewers are not so many on YT, since there are other anime sites, but think about all the AMVs, which are btw being removed... And then there are many people who have multiple accounts. I know many people with 3-4 YT accounts. If they could remove at least 2 of them it would be a great loss for YT. And there are many others who are on YT for music... There are alternative sites for music as well :) I still hope it can change... AMV's should never be removed. It's absolute bullshit that they are. |
Yup said: actually the less people who visit youtube, the less money they get. they are simply getting pummeled by the competition. if im a marketing agent i would go to a site with high traffic. plain and simple the more people i brainwash, the more money i will make my company. it's just business, there's no ethics in business. either you sell your product or you don't.ycart59 said: How are they losing money if users were not paying for anything in the first place?

| If you feel you should be able to watch an entire series on youtube for free, you're just as full of yourself as they are. They're are an organization, organizations aim to make money. There are many other alternatives to youtube. You can Torrent Series. Buy DVDs. Go to sites that stream shows for free. Whatever you want. Youtube sucks ass anyway. |

| Even the name sounds so.. wrong. Renting..a video..on the internet.And only for 24 frickin' hours. But anyway, I can't even see it, haha.They 'banned' my country.How rude. |

Nobody cares about his "common sense" this thread is about Youtube charging to rent a fucking streaming video and only for 24 hours. |
| As usual Drunk Samurai, you lack said common sense. Take a few minutes to breathe and think about it for a minute. |
