We're all familiar with YouTube now and how much is sucks recently due to Google losing they're minds and making it a giant corporate sellout that can barely be used, but what about BlipTV?

The first BlipTV videos I have watched were on ThatGuyWithTheGlasses, and let me be honest, they were great. But recently...I dunno...

What the hell is going on with blip? It's getting way way worse! The ads are more frequent, pre video ads are longer and have those annoying menus that never go away; Some ads just open a new video when you try to close them; The video will stutter and skip frames for no reason, sometimes even starting in the middle of avideo; The embed can duck up, and when I say this, I mean, clicking on the video won't pause and unpause, and the pause and play buttons don't work; Sometimes, videos end halfway through and play another ad, but when the ad is over, the video has that grayed out menu with the replay button, and the video scroll, and sometimes even worse, having a video paused for a while will cause the video to play another ad!

Anyone else having these problems with BlipTV and/or think they need to get their act together before the internet begins to hate them like they hate YouTube?

How are Youtube and BlipTV different? I havnt heard of the latter before. I know YOutube is selling out, and the rating system sucks now, and its pretty much gone from user videos to pop music, and rawr rawr rawr

The only thing I've noticed with BlipTV is that it takes an enormous time to load the videos. And if I don't load it first, it will lag like a pillbug humping donkey in a super mario world.

Never heard of BlipTV and I still like Youtube a lot, don't know why it would be "selling out".

YouTube pretty much saved their ass by extending the video time. Dailymotion is small, but I think it's pretty much the best around, simplest to use, and reminds me of YouTube when it first started off.

Personally, Youtube has gotten to the point where the video will take forever to load, and then I realize that it has been loading, just that the pink bar that shows what has been loaded is invisible.
Or as a friend of mine would put it.
