The popular variety of anything is horrendous, because that means the idiots have jumped in it and taken over. Nobody in business gives a crap about making something remotely intelligent or having any sense of integrity, they just want something that will sell, and the best way to do that is to make something for thick people. That way nobody's left out, and they get more people buying it overall.Humanity is going down the <expletive>ing toilet, if we keep going at this rate.[end rant mode]Also, a lot of the better youtubers have grown sick of youtube for these and other reasons, and have left.

If not for my friends and subscriptions and subscribers and things, I'd have left a long time ago. At the same time however, I can't just get up and leave- my subscribed channels (IE. Sonny's, for instance) still produce good content, and I've carefully cultivated my friend list over a period of time- erasing that would mean three years' work down the toilet. So for now, I've basically got to put up with all these dodgy partnerships, the WMG wankers, this whole "THIS CONTAINS CONTENT FROM AMERICAN TELLY AND HAS BEEN BLOCKED IN YOUR COUNTRY ON COPYRIGHT GROUNDS" fiasco (why have that? Youtube never used to do that), and of course, some of the most dysfunctional, GIFT-abiding morons I've yet seen on the internet. In all honesty, the horrible spelling and complete lack of any form of punctuation makes you weep for the future of humanity alone, never mind the obsceneties and unbridled hatred over such trivial matters.

All of this is true, but I properly can't stand people who deliberately spell things incorrectly, or using so-called "leetspeak" in a desperate attempt to appear cool, because they just come across as stupid and ignorant to me. And it's all very well plucking the agrument about language constantly evolving out of the air, but I put it to you that absolutely no words in the works of Shakespeare or Dickens were ever spelt using numbers.
I only learned to read l3375p35k a few months ago, having been on the Internet for nearly ten and a half years, and I still hate the ruddy language
