    Congrats YouTube, God knows how much bandwidth this site chews through per day, (and how much is saved by the cleaner interface) but must sure add up.

    How about this, you direct your homepage to my YouTube channel for a day lol.

    It's a shame the website has got progressively worse for content providers over the last 5 years. YouTube sold its soul to corporate Google, the company who spies on you through your webcams.

    Happy 5th anniversary, YouTube!

    When you started, I didn't notice you. Yep, I was ignorant like that; not malevolently - you just slipped my attention.

    After one year, I watched a video or two on YouTube once in a while, at the house of a friend (as I had no online access at home back then yet).

    In 2007, when you were 2 years old, I made my first channel, Truedantalion, to be able to wrote comments on videos, watching them from my home in the meantime.

    In August 2008, when you were just 3 years and a few months old, I made my first videos and put them up on my channel. This has continued to the very day, and became a central part of my creative life.

    In April 2009, a short while before you became 4 years old, I made my second channel, Kelvinwontcry2, in memory of someone so dear, who I had gotten to know on YouTube, and who then died under tragic circumstances. This channel has become a second central and admitedly vital part of my life: I'mmaking videos there and getting in touch with many people who relate to this channel, to the person it is in memory of - and who comment and write to me on intense topics.

    Okay, it's 2010now. You have just bcome five years of age - and now, you are old enough to, here and there, seriously annoy me with changes and innovations that always still need fine tuning and make life a bit miserable for me ... bold enough to implement things that no one called for, no one really needs, but everyone has to accept ... reckless enough to throw out a new video comments section design and structure that, in the first stage, showed that the designers of that new version obviously NEVER had handled a YT channel of their own, and had no idea whatsoever how to really work with the comments tool - but finally, things started to grow better on that, now, and I hope they will still improve.

    I'm ready and willing to take the good with the bad, because ...

    ... in simple words: I love you, YouTube :-)!

    Happy Birthday.

    ~Michael

    A very happy birthday YouTube.
    I have had an account since 2007, so I cannot compare what the site was like five years ago, but judging by all the extremely angry comments that I read on various blogs, it has changed for the worse. I have seen unnecessary changes like the abolition of the star-rating system for a half-way (and half baked) Thumbs up & down which gives no leeway for video grading; I have seen a great, easy-to-use profile layout changed for something hard to manipulate, and the video-quality settings disappear on some vids.,
    I have seen complete disinterest on the part of the YouTube operators to even address these problems or answer questions, like those of the vexed users who have seen their viewcounts frozen at around 300 for no apparent reason. Yes, happy birthday,and hopefully the next five years shall see better customer service , and answering queries from users.

GREEDY BASTARDS!!!! LOL seriously though, I hate google now, I avoid it as much as I can, although the other searches are shit, at least Ive made my point: gogle is evil....evil.......EVVVVIIILLLL!!!!!
