  • I guess I think we need to keep the "as one" feeling rather than a "as a bunch", although I realize that the youtube staff doesn't have every control over this.
  • Because it had segments from a wide range of contributors across YouTube. It brought the community together, it informed the community of what's what in YouTubeland, it helped me find my all-time favourite YouTuber (yay for theresident!), it entertained too, ..
  • YouTube actually unintentionally harmed the community, when it plucked Damien away from organising YourTubeNews.
  • p.s. While you're at it, make these goshdarn comment limits bigger. 500 characters is NOT enough to have a decent conversation with.
    
    As can be seen all over YouTube, people sometimes want and need to say more than just "your video is great!", "you suck, go die" or "I hate your video!" in the comments section. Vloggers invite conversations and debates, but like anyone can say anything remotely useful in 500 characters?
