Hello & welcome to another edition of "God Dammit! Fix your Shit!" Today, I will be ranting about something that I have ranted about time & time again here on this page. Most of the blogs I made about this particular piece of fecal matter were really short, Twitter-esque posts for me to vent and let the world know just how awful this piece of crap really is! I am talking, of course, about Youtube! When you think of streaming videos online, you probably think of Youtube above all else. Yet, it is the crappiest streaming video site out there! Or, at least one of 'em, anyway. Now don't get me wrong! I love the site itself! It has tons & tons of fantastic content, as well as people who upload skits and vlogs. It's a great source of entertainment and information. I enjoy watching videos on Youtube. Now remember; the "Fix your Shit!" segment is only going to be about the technical problems that occur with anything I may talk about here, whether it be something I love, or something I detest. So, without further ado, let's delve into this malfunctioning site!

I think what aggravates me the most, is the fact that these problems occur CONSTANTLY!!! Whenever you least expect it, something will happen! It could be literally anything, and when you think it couldn't possibly get any worse, it does! I think the most common occurence is when the little red loading bar at the bottom of the video comes to a complete halt! It ain't goin' NOWHERE MUTHAFUCKA!!! You are that red bar's bitch! You can wait as long as you possibly can, but once that red bar stops loading, it's staying there. Try to play the video, you're going to eventually get, what I like to call, the "spinny circle of death!" You know, when the video has to buffer and you get what looks like a bunch of dots spinning around on your screen. They never go away, man! You will see them in your sleep! When you close your eyes...it's there! You can turn off your computer for good, flee the country, and disguise yourself, but that spinny circle of death is going to be right there waiting for you!!! No, but seriously, the worst part is when you click the link or whatever, and it doesn't even attempt to load! It just sits there on that black screen, staring at you and spinning around until you SCREEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAM!!!!!!!! And yes, I totally stole that from "red ring of death." Sue me.

Something else that bothers me is when it's undergoing "scheduled maintenance." You may as well not even browse the site while that's happening, because you haven't SEEN glitchy until you encountered what goes on during the SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE OF DOOOOOOM!!!" I won't even go into it it's so scary.

Just today, I was watching a video, and a new glitch occurs! The loader does that classic thing where it stops, but then it magically fills the screen! "OOH YAY! THAT WAS FAST! NOW I CAN FINALLY WATCH IT!" If you think that's a frikkin miracle, then you don't go on Youtube too often. I spent a Goddamn hour fighting the spinny circle of death just trying to sit through a fucking video! It's like, I have to fight my way through the video instead of just enjoying it! It would play, then stop, then I'd do some clicking, then it would play, then stop...you get the idea!

People, I could go into every last technical problem that Youtube has, but I'd be here all day! I just wanted to get out there just how bad that site really is! It may be the #1 streaming video site out there, but if it doesn't work, or it has glitches, then it ain't #1 in my book! And yea, there's a long period of time where it's working just fine and it's breezing along and all that shit, but can we please stay that way? Like, for good? I'm tired of this shit!

Yea. There's my rant! Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go and read a book.
