I said it before, and I'll say it again. Popularity leads to downfall.
I'll quote myself, October 8th, 2006. Topic: YouTube.
You see what happens when fame get's to your head? It does stuff to you. It makes you greedy, continuously trying to fix something that isn't even broken just to impress people who already like it in the first place. And maybe with the new flashy look, they'll get new people to join. YouTube will get new members but veteran members will soon lose respect to it.

A little over 3 months later, it's happenned….
A website was recently created called LiveVideo.com. LiveVideo is basically a wannabe site of YouTube. Veteran "YouTubers" started to sign up to that website complaining about the glitches and video quality YouTube has. They're are also saying it's doing better than YouTube could have achieved in1 year. No sh!t! It copied almost every aspect of YouTube! The font, tabs, home page layout, video player layout, etc, etc. YouTube was obviously an ispiration. Well, people can just talk back and say, "there's always the tech support that actually helps you". Well, if LiveVideo is such a perfect website, we wouldn't need tech support would we? God, people are idiots. This kinda reminds me of GTA Legends and another GTA union….
Well, anyway, this transition sparked up a lot of contraversy, most notabably, one of Renetto's recent videos, "Traitors…or not?" Now we have this YouTube vs LiveVideo war going on. People are replying back and forth on why Renetto is wrong, why LiveVideo is better, and all this drama crap.
Quite frankly, I don't really give a damn. Why am I blogging this? Because I love it when I'm always right!
And just to make things clear, there is no way in hell I'll be leaving YouTube. I made a lot of friends there, I have over 60 subscribers and 100,000 video views. I'm not gonna throw that all away and follow the LiveVideo crowd.
I'd really love to see how this turns out in the next 7 months!
