Of Freeloaders/Leechers.
Honestly, I don't really mind leechers that doesn't comment.
It's annoying, but it's fine.
What I REALLY REALLY don't approve of are leechers who don't just 'leech away',
but also complain, blab, and just nag without considering the other people.
Remember how YouTube was such a grand website???
It's still grand now, but when it first started out, it basically has no limits!
but because of it's growing popularity, it have got masses of people using their bandwith to view videos.
So they had to put up restrictions.
Only a maximum of 10 minutes clip.
And THIS itself has got people crazy.
This rule don't just save on bandwith,
but it discourage copyrighted materials to be uploaded- movies, dramas (unless they're uploaded in parts).
And then there was YouTube's flagging season.
Early of this year, a lot of videos had to be taken down because they were flagged for copyrighted materials.
I was annoyed at this.
A lot of my random favorite Arashi clips were deleted.
You KNOW it is wrong to upload such copyrighted media.
They did the right thing when they flagged the videos.
They were reporting some pirated stuff.
And yet these people can be so pissed off and cursed the website like hell.
"Dude, these stuff are not supposed to even be on the internet.
So why the heck are you actually doing a petition to cancel their rights
to delete JDramas and Animes?!?!"
Yes, they actually did a petition to rebel against the deletion of JDramas and Animes.
How lame is that?
It's like Paris Hilton doing her petition to free her from jail when she really have been charged guilty from her crime!
I'm not too fond of the flaggings,
but I don't have the right to complain either because I was just leeching off and watched it for free,
instead of paying for the actual media.
Then there was Veoh's policy for a 5 minute preview.
They actually made 543532 threads just to complain about it in Veoh's forum.
It's like EACH user made up THEIR OWN THREAD for their own complaints.
NOT ALL videos had that condition.
And yet, people are complaining like
"How am I supposed to watch my anime now, you a$$h01e!"
Dude, you can just download it.
And if you can't download it, the uploader will have to upload them in parts.
If you have no power to do neither of those, please go find somewhere else to leech off.
Yes, they do want to go somewhere else to leech.
"Man, this website used to be the best. Now it SUCKS BAD!
I'm going back to YouTube!"
"Yeah! Me too! That ought to teach the mod what a $h1ttY job they've done for putting up restrictions!"
... and what are you still doing in that forum?
JUST GO BACK TO YOUTUBE ALREADY THEN!
Pestering on how you'll go back to YouTube/DailyMotion...
just go ahead to the websites already.
You don't need to say it out LOUD and say it REPEATEDLY.
Then what boils me up recently,
Crunchyroll's bandwith limit.
No, I'm not mad at Crunchyroll for limiting their bandwith.
It's understandable considering Shinji (founder & maintainer) is only a college guy.
Unlike YouTube and Veoh,
Crunchyroll doesn't really have corporate sponsors to pay up their bandwith.
And Crunchyroll is not heavily ad supported like the other streaming videos either.
Meaning, Shinji had to depend on his own pocket money and donations.
maintain a MAJOR FREE streaming site?
There's not many donators either.
They are limiting it by the amount of information retrieved from your computer.
Approximately 5 videos.
To enjoy it to the full benefit,
you can donate a minimum of 6 dollars.
And this got leechers cursing their hearts out.
"WTF?! I really love this website because it's free. And now we have to PAY?!?!"
Dude, did you read the notice???
It only LIMITS your daily bandwith usage from the website.
It does not cut you off entirely form watching the videos.
IF you want more,
THEN you can donate.
The only reason we're still able to live happily in this community is because
there are some really generous people who doesn't mind MAKING IT FREE for us.
Prime example are free video streaming websites.
Bandwith is PRICEY.
Leechers shouldn't expect everything to be all sunshine and rainbows for the site maintainers.
So when the site maintainers decides to make a change or put up restrictions,
let it be.
It's their site and their responsibilities.
Even if you stop visiting the site,
others who appreciates it, will still be there.
It's not the end of the site when a group of leechers stop coming over.
Feedback is good.
But feedbacks are comments in a polite manner.
Not cursing the maintainers to doom's end!
Comments
Not respecting and not bothering to read the full rules/notice
is another thing that sends me to the edge.
