Whats up with YouTube

Now, maybe other bloggers will laugh but what is happening to the quality coming out of YouTube? Or am I just missing the plot...

I listen to the ZA Tech show quite regularly, and in their 19th podcast they interviewed Stafford Massie, CEO of Google SA. This was a pretty interesting podcast, always good to hear from someone who've knows some of the most influential people in the world today.

Anyway, he spoke about the improvements they were doing for us fellow internet users in South Africa and one item he mentioned was that we should be experiencing faster usage of Google programs like Youtube... but I think with all the lawsuits Youtube has been receiving they have to take down a lot of video's because most video's I try watch now don't seem to work and come up with the annoying message - 'We're sorry, this video is no longer available'.

So now because of that I couldn't watch the interview between Jake White And Stafford Massie which was listed on Jake's new blog.

Could they have an automated system that checks video's descriptions/names and automatically removes them if it contains anything that could contain copyright information? We'll have to wait and see.
