Alternative to You Tube
YouTube/Google is apparently not happy to leave me alone with my YouTube Moniker...wintersportster.
They want my REAL name listed with my videos and, considering their inability or unwillingness to deal with the filth spouted by the troll and angry virgin crowd, I'm thinking that this may not be a good idea. They're turning down the screws on me, and it looks like I will not be able to comment or reply to comments if I don't go along with this.
Have any of you used an alternative? If so, what do you think?

Re: Alternative to You Tube
You Tube has become a PITA, some folks I know have been using Vimeo, but I have yet to sign up.

Re: Alternative to You Tube
My problems started when I opened a Gmail account, they gave me a new You Tube account and wanted me to change my name.
I have trouble logging in to my old You Tube account, I can't merge the two accounts because they have different email addresses.
You Tube needs Flash Player, Vimeo does not. Flash Player is flawed software that needs constant updates and is not needed anymore.

Re: Alternative to You Tube
Thanks Crank!
Gonna give it a try. As long as I can still post videos here, that will be fine, as you guys are really the only ones I care about, video-wise, anyway !

Re: Alternative to You Tube
I was fiddling with Yputube a few nights ago. I like that I can choose more of what videos to list on my channel, but haven't been hit with the name thing yet. I'll check it out today and see.
Rusty, a.k.a. Rusty K or Rastus10 on Youtube. Both of those are old and point to the same channel.

Re: Alternative to You Tube
Yeah...gonna sign up for the other one, and maybe sit on this deal for a while. Perhaps they'll back off of it...or not. There's ALWAYS some other way to do this stuff.
You're probably right about the money thing Dave, but I'm not on a level that allows me to understand ticking off your customers as a profitable thing.
I'd like to see the trolls ditched (some of the reasoning), but clobbering everyone else just seems a little idiotic...

Re: Alternative to You Tube
I can't stand YouTube anymore. Commenting is easy but you can't seem to be able to reply to comments older than 2 weeks anymore.
They gave me the option to keep my old YouTube name but I still had to link it to my Gmail (which it already was) and get a Google+ account (which I hate).
It also seems that almost every video has an ad on it now. I have noticed ads pop up even on my own videos that I'm not getting paid for. They are not even just the videos with the copyrighted music in them.

Re: Alternative to You Tube
I apparently used "Rusty K" as the real name for my existing tube account when I got Gmail. That's been some time ago now. I notice if I'm logged into Google I can access my videos directly from there. The other day I made sure I was unchecked for all social networking options. It can get confusing enough to be irritating, as they trick you into being a part of all that junk. I did notice that the restriction for viewing my "Stooge Dance" video was lifted for mobile devices. But you can't see it good enough to tell what's going on with the largest phone screen.

Re: Alternative to You Tube
When prompted to combine your Google accounts just check 'nope'.
Even when you've gone 'too far' you can still 'check' your user name rather than your email
or real 'handle'.
They are making it more tricky tho.
Remember, when Apple, Google etc etc ask you to 'update' (even new operating systems you never
knew you needed) it's usually to either cover their backsides or because they want something more from YOU, rather than giving YOU something better.
I'm still using IOS 5 on my Iphone, my son who has stupidly (in my opinion) downloaded IOS7
say's nothing works properly. You Tube particularly.

Well I am an idiot too John. Thing is I had zero problems with it. Some nice features as well. Takes a bit getting used to the different looking graphics though.

Re: Alternative to You Tube
Have you managed to upload a vid to you tube from your phone recently Ron?
If not you'll prob have the '2 stage' login process to get past first.

I have not. Weather is not co-operating around here. I haven't flown in weeks.

Re: Alternative to You Tube
Hot off the press.....!
Just logged in to my you tube and I have three vids from 3 or so years back
that allegedly infringe some copyright, odd really cos it's just some super
good looking bloke flying a toy aeroplane, no music, nuffin.
BUT
Guess who's invited me to challenge 'infringement' by giving my real name.
For some reason they don't like not knowing who we all are.

Well, guess there's always DVD-by-Snail Mail...not nearly as efficient, but I can share the "forbidden" videos I have that have been set to music....

Re: Alternative to You Tube
Well,
Not sure WHAT changed, but I can now, apparently, keep using my YouTube name, "wintersportster". While attempting to reply to a comment, I found myself on a page that asked me simply, "Do you want to use "wintersportster" on all your Google accounts?" I bit my lip and checked yes...so we'll see...
I'm gonna throw together a "Test Video" to see if they'll let it load.
Hopeful Kim
