Anonymous Coward User ID: 30213688 United States 03/22/2017 03:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why is it when something *cool* or *unique* goes mainstream it gets culturally ruined? Why is it when something cool or niche goes mainstream it works for a little while really well then stupid changes makes it more and more unusable for people who want to do more then just be a robot?
I dread the words *mainstream* now much like the PC industry is ruined where you are pretty much doing what you can on a smartphone.
No more independence no more doing things offline. No real independent companies anymore that doesn't require being online spied on.
Youtube was good once when it was before the Google days and since 2010 GOogle is a melting pot with nothing but fake channels and crappy quality videos mixed with good ones.
Nobody can do playlist anymore so that means I am not going to shuffle thru 500 of your videos to find a certain genre. |

When people were using Paulstretch to create new songs it was unknown and great and creative. Then news and media got hold of it and said things like "we wonder what the next song will be to be Paulstretched". Not for creativity and sharing but for greed, to have more to follow up on coverage
Their reasons for changing it is for greed and negative reasons and humans can detect this and it sours the thing |

It's not ruined. You just think it is, because you think all in the mainstream is "conformist" and "tainted". Nothing's changed except that more people like it. |

Because the stupid (and crazy) people get access to it. Some of us remember when the internet was cool, back when it had about 3,500 sites in total... There weren't any internet service providers and thus, no stupid people. It was peace and quiet, and it was awesome. Sorry, that message is no longer in the database. |
