What the hell is wrong with youtube?

Postby Dead Metal » Mon Mar 24, 2008 8:07 am

Motto: "Don't do drugs, beer's cheaper anyway!"
Is there something that happened to youtube without me noticing?
I mean, it's all bloody French now!
No shitting you, whenever I follow a youtube link on this forum or any other website, youtube is in French, now if I type in the address:

http://www.youtube.com, guess what- it turns into http://www.fr.youtube.com and yes it's in French!

That even happens when I type in http://www.youtube.de, this sud be in German, yet it's in blooming French!

Last time I checked youtube was part of Google, and was American, or did the French buy it now?
Why is it all in French? |:|

Looks like you are the victim of a location based redirect.
Try http://de.youtube.com/ and see if that gets you to the German site. If not, you are going to have to try a proxy I guess.

Thanks that helpt!
Yet it would be nice to have the English version back, I hate reading stuff I'm used to reading in English in German.

You mean besides terrible video and audio quality that somehow snuffed out the vastly superior Stage 6?

Nothing, really. I still get the main YouTube.

w00t!
Just, why does the regional based redirect redirect me to the French one? I mean I don't live any where near some French speaking place.

I love your new sig Tekka!

What will Mario say? :P
Well that will at least show him that it wasn't Bowser who kidnapped Peach....

He'd probably say "Mamma-mia!" in his horrendously bad pseudo-Italian accent. Despite the fact who knows what kind of abomination is growing in her womb, the thought of Mario and Peach getting it on scares me more than Bowser and Peach, because Mario is just that much more freaky looking. :shock:

Lol, mothering the TMNT? I was thinking more along the lines of the Koopa kids.

Iggy and company had to come from somewhere.

That's what I thought at first, but I thought a mutated TMNT would be much more fun. :P

You know, a slim few actually mourned the passing of Stage 6. Why? Because they rarely advertised their site. They should have done something to get the site into peoples minds. Instead they did nothing and it petered out and died. Blame Divx for it dying, not youtube. Not to mention that you have to install a non essential media device (Divx/Divx Codec) to view anything. Flash is an essential part of viewing probably 30% of the internet's websites properly, and because of that, YouTube had the right idea.

And videos only turn out crap on YouTube because people don't know how to properly encode and compress their videos. For some reason they expect a conversion over to FLV to work perfectly on all of their worthless crap. If people would just save them at 640 x 480 and as an mpeg4 in the first place, you wouldn't see the pixelated crap that half the people on there put up.
