Youtube geeks

[nightcrawler13]

can anyone explain to me why people on youtube pretty much beg for you to add them, follow them, comment and rate?

do they get paid if they have so many clicks or are they just losers who want to be famous?

[dakyras]

The latter.

[Sparticus]

Think it's just losers with nothing better to do (Yes i get the hint of irony being on a message board, but I have a job, other half, and consider myself to have a normal life). For these lads, their lives most likely revolve around reviewing/ ranting on youtube and having a tommy tank!

[Alcatraz]

Yeah theres definately a way to make a bit of money out of Youtube

I hate it when you're trying to search for a specific song and someone is doing a "cover" of the song - i.e. piss poor strumming of chords and shit singing, or even worse playing the CD in the background and singing along to it.

Write your own stuff or f**k off! Plus, it's not a "cover", it's you doing a bit of karaoke to a CD by yourself.

I've discovered some fantastic covers on youtube by people who most of us would never have had the chance to experience.

Yeah.

Some covers even have subtitled guitar tab, which is a great learning tool.

Can someone remind me how to put up utube links please?

[Josie's Cat]

Just copy and paste the url straight into your reply, worked for me. I spent ages browsing around thinking 'hmm, must be some complicated way of linking clips, where is it, where is it..." and in the end just opted for the simplest one.
