Have you been to Hulu?

There are some ads, but seeing TV shows at a higher quality than Youtube and for free is worth it.

I don't know what's going on with Youtube lately other than some of the videos loading really slowly lately.

But I noticed they deleted the original Rickroll'd video and suspended the user responsible for it. The one with around 20 million views. WHY?

Its true, they just delete stuff when they feel like it. I watched an episode of Ouran then went back a few days later and it was gone!

That sucks though, after all the work some people have put into those videos. I'd be pretty ticked off if it was me. -___-[/sub]

Yeah, it just kinda made my anxiety go higher, they already deleted 16 videos of mine.

Yeah, and it's an official music video...Why would they take down something that YouTube themselves did once for a prank on April Fools?

[sub]Yeah, they took down the Rick Roll; I saw on darkSpyro. That was a really popular meme, and Youtube's just going to kill it?

Rules are rules, I guess. =/[/sub]

So apparently the official "Never Gonna Give You Up" video (aka Rick Roll) was taken down recently, at least that's what I've read.
Some else also said that if you set your videos to private, they can't take your videos down. So I set my most popular video to private, since it just reached 1000 views.
