Where do I even begin...?
Let's do this list in point form of all the things that have gone wrong on YouTube since I started using it:
1. Quality issues with my original renders because of how I coaxed them into MP4 files, requiring complete reconversions to AVI files using a different codec in order for YouTube to render them properly.
2. Videos being arbitrarily non-monetized because I need to "prove commercial use rights", following which you often never get a response and never get the video monetized. This even happened on a video which was 95% live action of ME.
3. Content-ID flags on bizarre things, like 300-year-old music, music in a game claimed by the creator of the music instead of by the company responsible for the game, or the video data (not the audio) of the Sims 3 title sequence.
4. Disputing a Content-ID match which muted a video, which then unmuted it, which then suddenly got muted again but THIS time without indicating it had been muted, thus making everyone think I was stupid enough to upload a video with no audio. >_>;
5. The whole comment system becoming broken for non-G+ users, not to mention the new useless and annoying ability for commenters to set it so that other people can't directly reply to their comments.
6. Temporary issues where I go to log in only to be forced into my non-"Pixelmusement" personal profile which I don't use at all, and end up not being able to set it back, thus not being able to interface with my subscriptions, videos, comments, etc.
7. The lack of any kind of real technical support whatsoever. Basically, if you can't fix a problem yourself because it's with how the YouTube system is handling something, you're screwed. You're only option is to report it as feedback and then pray it gets fixed within a year or two.
YouTube is just really high-stress to work with compared to the Blip system.

"Anatoly". ;)
And while I'm not really much of a podcast kind of person I have no aversion to ever helping someone out with one given the right circumstances. It's similar to how I love to write just about anything, but hate to read anything but comics. ;D
