    As of yesterday YouTube has replaced its list of ‘Most Viewed’ videos on the site’s ‘Videos’ section with a varied selection of sponsor-friendly videos that the site calls ‘Most Popular’. Where users normally see videos with high view-counts that have become popular due to viral spreading and community activity, we now see videos like the new MacBook commercial that gets showcased on the ‘Most Popular’ #1 spot while having very low view-counts and even lower ratings. YouTube will no longer give massive exposure to its community’s video productions and instead is now tightly controlling its Videos pages to attract more sponsors and a more mainstream audience.

    • A d v e r t i s e m e n t

    The consequences are drastic, YouTube’s ‘Videos’ front page used to give its community so much exposure that it allowed the instant birth of global grassroots movements such as Anonymous and that it was even a deciding factor in the 2008 US presidential elections as it was constantly being flooded by Obama speeches and fan videos. YouTube’s decision to finally move the site into a more profitable direction is understandable, since the Google-owned company has long been struggling in this area. But it is a great loss for (what used to be) Internet celebrities, online communities and activists around the globe who found YouTube to be the only platform for such massive exposure at no cost but of their own creativity.

    UPDATE: Shortly after the release of this article and our already very popular video on the subject, YouTube has put its ‘Most Viewed’ back as default Videos page. However, YouTube contacts say they may switch back to the new system, spread the word, digg it, make videos, let YouTube realize how important we feel this is.

What we need are hot bikini babes confronting politicians violently with big shakey boobs more tits and ass this is what is needed!!

    2. well.... Says:

      As a business, Youtube HAS the RIGHT to make this move. We may not like it. I don’t. You don’t. HOWEVER, it is their prerogative to do so if they so chose. It’s really not much different than a website such as IW selling ad space.

      SItes like Youtube need funds to stay active – especially with such enormous bandwidth demands. Such requirements are not cheap to maintain.

      BUT….that said…..perhaps they should move the ads into a “Sponsored Videos” section instead of labeling them “Most Popular.”

    3. Darth Chaos Says:

      I figure it won’t be long before you have to register your credit card with YouTube and pay a monthly subscription fee in order to upload videos.

      To #1.

      It is obvious you are a government sponsored idiot who just wants to give our movement a bad name.Since when was We Are Change for entertainment purposes? Are you a complete lunatic? Do us real americans a favor and please keep idiotic comments such as “Alex needs to be more violent” to yourself. Alex is doing a fine enough job with his rants and yelling on the show. It is painfully obvious you are being paid to post violent and sexual comments on websites such as alexs or possibly we are change. Go back to watching your main stream media you slave scum. Its true we all feel a sense of anger towards everything happening around us but there is no need to get up in arms about it just yet. I’m sure you will see many other people agreeing with me on your stupidity. Please keep it off of here and stop being a moron and trying to make us look like a bunch of maniacs that just want violence. you make me sick to my stomach.

    5. speed Says:

      whats the alternative … is there an alter video site ?

    6. Bad news! Says:

      So it looks like YouTube is going the way that Geocities did and all the other services that existed in the 90s that where free and fun. Corporate control will strangle youTube until it becomes absorbed as some other faceless feature as part of a package you have to pay for.
      Oh well, time to find a new hosting service that won’t suck the corporate wang as much.

    7. JMack Says:

      That’s such a dumb comment. Violence may be required but only after all other measures have been taken and the situation absolutely calls for it.

      While these videos you mention may bore you, they must still exist until we get enough people awaken and educated enough to do something.

      Those who simply want “action” and want to see some “bllod, gore and sex” are in need of some serious maturity and really do not have any real commitment to the overarching cause of Liberty.

    8. Deniz Oliver Says:

      It isn’t that hard, well at least I do not believe it is that hard (I am not a computer genius or anything), to create a new “youtube” like site. Perhaps Alex Jones can create a new brand.

      Here are a few ideas for the name: ThePeople.com perspectivevid.com knowledgetube.com seeker.com infotube.com

      I definately believe this is not possible, but also necessary!!

      Thank you Alex for all your dedicated hard work!!

      #14,
      Perhaps “the Rapture”, (meaning the catching up of
      believers in Jesus before the Great Tribulation) is near.

      I’ve been in church all my life and am a believer and
      follower of Yeshua, (Jesus the Anointed), and have
      heard and read in 1 Thessalonians 4;13-18, (a book
      in the New Testament of the Bible) about a catching
      away of believers.

      I’m not with the crowd who says: “Where is the promise
      of His coming; all things are the same from the days of
      our fathers until now?”

      But I am also not going to lay down and let Satan and
      his kids have it all while there is breath left in my old
      body. There is still work to be done! Do you know that
      40% of the 6 billion+ humans on the earth have never
      even heard of Jesus?

      We’re ready but not pining away to be caught up into
      the clouds until ALL those souls have at least a chance
      to know Jesus. Therefore let’s WORK! Let’s PRAY, and
      FIGHT the GOOD FIGHT! My desire is to die on the
      battlefield with a Bible in one hand and a sword or
      a shovel in the other.

    18. Raymond Says:

      Bah! Who cares? There’re tens of sites that are going to replace youtube the moment it starts to suck. Youtube is nothing but a site with a fat pipe that has a bunch of movies.
      People, don’t dramatize the situation. Youtube.com is nothing. The internet is freedom and anybody with some money in their pocket can run a site like youtube.

    19. darren Says:

      the last sentence of this article is entirely and pathetically grammatically incorrect.

      So, let YouTube die.

      It probably deserves to with this move.

      Two will sprout up to take its place, and will be at least what YouTube used to be, and perhaps better.

      No tears. No grief. No complaints.

    30. Far From Over Says:

      Let Youtube die and be replaced with another. Maybe YT can be still useful for sheeple to get a bit of useless entertainment. Never liked YT and only care for content from independent contributors.

    31. KleptoPsychotic Says:

      Far From Over, I understand what you’re saying, but YouTube is a brilliant research tool. Some of the s--- that’s on YT, if it weren’t, would be next to impossible to find. Yeah there’s tons and tons and TONS of garbage on YouTube. A couple months ago I was watching some Steven Greer clips, archived Alex Jones shows and some Bill Hicks and George Carlin for a blog I was writing, and got bored. So I decided to check something out.

      Doing a search for the word “beer” I found the “Lego Beer Song” vid, not even funny, and with over six million views. Then I searched for New World Order, and the highest viewed video was under 200k. In other words, people are f---ing stupid. But YouTube is useful for more than sheople looking for mindless entertainment.

    34. Chris Says:

      #35 I agree. I havn’t seen anything worth watching on the most viewed section. Just mindless stupid stuff. People like to see themselves on camera, even if it’s a cheesy 1 minute video.

    35. win-win Says:

      All of we make youtube the number one or the last. it may be a god time to switch to something else and let them feel the “number of hits” drop hurting the bottom line. YouTube you are where you are because of us. we give it and we can take it away.. don’t forget who is your dady…

      To bad we couldn’t make one of Alex’s sites the New Improved “Youtube” for everyone to load video’s on. But who could ask the man to do anything more than he has done and continues. Beside’s it would take some serious deep pockets to finance and maintain I would imagine.

      No 41:

      GODTUBE? Are you f---ing kidding me? Do you think religion is gonna save us? Sure lets f---ing sit around waiting for the almighty one to come and save us. Its been happening for thousands of years now; no ones coming to save us. Thats like letting them get away with everything just because we have “faith”. Bulls---. Spare me the lies. Religion is a tool the NWO uses to control the masses. Tell me of one religion that agrees with all the views of another. None.

      If there is a God, it sure isn’t the one mentioned in the bible.

      When people realize that religion is pure lies and BULLs---, then maybe we could come together and fight these evil sons of bitches. Whipe them all out.

      If they change everything around, f--- with everything and everyone, what makes you think that the bible has not been altered in any way by them? What makes you so sure that what you read in the bible is gods words and not theirs?

      Now I’m not saying god isn’t real, what I’m saying that religion itself is a tool of the NWO. So stop trying to shove god and all this christian-jesus religion crap down peoples throat.

      Godtube, give me a break. f--- this makes me mad. Its the whole reason THEY are getting away with everything. We just sit around forever waiting for the saviour. Ohhh god oh god I prayeth please come save thee now! Nope. Not gonna happen. If he wanted to save us, he would’ve done so a LONG time ago.

      Lets get off our asses and fight for our freedom, not write to the damn congress and bitch about it….

    46. gordholio Says:

      YouTube has some amazing videos on it. There are instructions on doing certain things, videos of guys playing classic songs on guitar and piano, conspiracy videos, etc.
      It still is a great place if you ignore the garbage videos that are on there.
      It was inevitable when Google bought YouTube that it would become watered down and censored.
      Google is a BIG corporation now and is a part of the establishment who want to keep certain messages and ideas out of the mainstream.
      Sure, someone can start up some small new site, but people go to YouTube. People who want to find true information will find it regardless of those who try to hinder it.
      The masses won’t wake up unless they make their own effort and are ready for it, no matter how much you show them.

    47. Andrew Says:

      it has almost every song of all time on it.

      youtube should be a human right

    48. wayland Says:

      I discovered this site and 911 Truth and We Are Change and everything when I clicked on the most watched video which happened to be WTC towers falling. The power of YouTube is tremedous, however this year I have noticed that some videos play very slowly or not at all, especially when they are linked from infowars.com. I don’t know if this is a technical issue as in that particular serever becoming overloaded or if it’s deliberately throttled. The effect is the same, the video I want to watch does not play for me and thousands of other people.

      The removal of most watched is probably an attempt to solve a problem. If too many people watching the SAME video is an issue then having a most watched link is just going to make the problem worse.

      Youtube bights the hand that fed its popularity.

    50. James Says:

      This is just grumpy guys at Ipower trying to make a story out of nothing. The guys behind Ipower are the YouTube idiots: Athenewins who promote sex to try and get more video views. They are butt hurt they can’t hit the front pages anymore because YouTube shaped their policy on sexual related content. The AtheneWins channel is the biggest coagulation of douche known to man.

      I was permanently blocked from having a YouTube account. The only reason I can figure is that I was just too effective at countering all the propagandist, empty rhetoric espoused by various idiots, gatekeepers and agents in the comment sections.
      Upon contacting YouTube about this issue, I recieved no response. Was this just some individual at YouTube that got tired of hearing my rational, reasonable and convincing discourse, or is this something more broad and nefarious?
      Has this happened to anybody else?

    55. Frank Valley Says:

      I still don’t get it that nobody or no group in the open source community yet has made some piece of software combining the eMule/eDonkey2000 and/or the bittorrent protocol together with a nifty webinterface in order to get an open source network up and running with the same functionality als youtube. I assure you it would be hugely popular, totally free (as long as the project owners will not go the same way as in the previous XWindows project, but hey, that can be forked too), and superfast to download, at least for the REAL most popular videos.
      All the movies would be distributed over all the subscribers’ computers.
      No expensive central infrastructure needed.
      I don’t see why this wouldn’t work.

    56. lonewaffle Says:

      Frank, I like your spirit, but that isn’t necessarily a good idea. eMule and eDonkey are both notorious for spreading viruses and other malware as well as having to deal with mislabeled files, shoddy connections, wait times, and a generally antiquated system. You’d also have to deal with streaming videos of various type from one of these networks. These networks are not fast enough to handle streaming in the first place, but one of the reasons youtube and google video work so well is because they convert whatever type of video file that you send them into a flash video, which loads rather quickly in a streaming situation. I think that the open source community would have to come up with their own new systems entirely to compete with youtube, but remember, just because it’s open source doesn’t mean that it’s non profit, so even an open source solution to youtube could end up doing the same thing.

      Realize here people, There are things make life time possible timelessness existance possible, in fact Holy BIBLE Scriptures prove Jesus Christ, God in his true form,questioned saying “If this were not (true) I would not have told you so!”

      There are (rooms) “many houses” in The father’s “Mansion” also told ye!

      There is a place for all races colours God loves variety!

      Non-believers too will one day find themselves, again, with their thoughts intact.

      The believers will be servants to the Overcomers. Later, but not in Heaven, the wicked might be healed;purged of their evils, they gloat w evil thoughts words deeds against their believing or Overcoming Bretheren. This shall make them most assuredly indebted to their victims, since God Allmighty operates His Courtrooms quite differantly, regarding substantive natural and true LAW!

      The wicked destroy themselves. Mighty wicked ones, shall experiance inversely lowliness for their abuseiveness false stewardships lacking proper use of Talents or gifts from God be used for good!

      Remember when you have been told “An eye for an eye”? Well look more towards the Parable of The Rich Man and Lazerus. I am not referring to Lazerous whom The Saviour about 32 AD saved, or brought back from death then. I refer to the poor diseased man whom daily lay on the street begging bread from the rich that passby!
      Soon, very soon now, they will be athirst with burning tongues, w look upwards and see the poor in the arms of Abra- El-O Heem; Ancient words from an ancient language, which said more with fewer words way back when: The name Abraham, is condensed from those words. To find the words meanings one must do some searching w King James Holy Bible, Concordance text, translation and entrepretations. Wondrous, The Most High, GOD Whom is God!

      Remember you heathen out there and you persecutors and you rich!

      Your time without time is coming too!

      And there w be more than the Holy Judgements going on all around us even as I type letters here now. Judgements throughout all the Earth, judgements against Judges, yes and even Senators, Governors and past governors, all whom having failed their fellow man/woman will become accountable fully, even as Holy Scripture from the Most Holy Mind of God Whom Wrote them…

      Funny how #2 on Most Viewed is a video called “Jizz in my pants” from a mainstream company.
      This is digusting… double standard anyone? YouTube changes it’s rules to “algorithmically demote” “offensive content” (which they only use for political speech), and a video with this crude, vulgar title is right on their main page for anyone to see. Guess it is ok to have disgusting titles and language as long as you pay the corporate whore to do it.

      Well, I flagged the video as offensive sexual content. I’m sure it won’t matter since they pay youtube and youtube has become just an internet prostitute, whoring itself out as much as it can, and now charging for the right to free speech, without punishment.

Youtube is the spearhead of free thinking of the whole great god damn internet, when it breaks we are doomed. Really I’m amazed they’ve held out this long in the battle for people’s minds.

      I haven’t read all the former comments so forgive me, but I have noticed for about 4 months now that YouTube is censoring. I happen to have an interest in planet x/nibiru, and so go to youtube periodically to see if some new pics have been leaked out of the SPT (south pole telescope). So many vids would pop up daily on this subject over the last couple of years, but now, it seems the subject only pops up a few vids, and those vids are just a joke. I do not believe that suddenly there is nothing of valued interest on this subject anymore. Has anyone else run into a shortage of informative vids on youtube in matters that are controversial?

      We the people were what made You Tube great..Now just like rock N roll and anything else worthwhile it will be sponsored by “Bud” or some concept at least as ridiculous…
      Was fun while it lasted.

      funny how people are still commenting this article like its correct information wise, without a thought of checking youtube. While most popular is there, so is most viewed! maybe people complained, maybe the article was written in between upgrades, idk, but people should check out info before believing it all, yet some people just eat it up!

      I never could see the sense of YouTube. This is the 21st century. large screens and HD video. In my opinion the image quality of YouTube’s proprietary “Flash” video is worse than the first TVs of 60+ years ago!! Today you have HD WMV and HD DivX and several other high quality codecs with VERY nice full large screen display … and then try to watch YouTube’s pathetic blocky video Anything larger than 20 percent of screen size and you might as well be listening to an audio file because there is NO recognizable video image! … I never did get the YouTube thing! The concept was good but the implementation was horrendous!! Now about all you can find for video on-line is pathetic proprietary flash video. Talk about taking a GIANT step backwards!! I saw good riddance!
