Here's another way to get over one million subscribers on YouTube: Create a bunch of sock puppet accounts and have them subscribe to him, which is what Fred and his cronies did to achieve that record.

Thousands of his "subscribers'" accounts are either closed or suspended, but even when they're removed from the system, they're still considered as part of the subscriber count. There used to be a time when YouTubers could remove obsolete accounts from their subscriber list, but YT has recently removed it, and now they go nowhere but up.

Congrats on winning a race by cheating, Fred! You earned it.

P.S. Did I mention that his videos are awful and he doesn't deserve to be a partner in the first place? I don't think I did...

Well, that's business. I mean College Humor got their own show on MTV. And many users brought Coprorate YouTube on themselves by posting so much copyrighted material. These entertainment companies (Viacom, UMG) want their money for their hard work (or lack thereof). In the beginning YouTube was equal and anybody with a camera and/or editing software could find an audience. Now, it's about who can make the biggest production and pay to get their video to the top and all of the low-budget gems get pushed to the back (but I'm not bitter because nobody comes to my channel). In the end, it's about evolution because if YouTube didn't change people would stop coming to the site and can we really blame the people who figured out how to make the system work for themselves........(yes)

But technically, if YT got married to TV, wouldn't that just be standard marriage? YT joining another internet video site would be inbreeding and incest. Can't we say YT married a queen and became king to improve its status. Why does it have to be a bad thing? If a valley flooded and we evolved gills rather than climbing out I'd say that's pretty impressive and now we'll be able to reach other countries through the ocean rather than on boats which would eliminate some forms of pollution. YT's "marriage" is a bit of a sell out, but at least now we can watch (but not upload) copyrighted material and its higher status does allow us to get more quality material, like the Worldwide Symphony they just orchestrated. Sure, I miss the old days of YT, but like you said there are thousands of others that are like YT at its inception. YT, in my opinion, made a good decision to "sell out".

Well, I guess we can agree on one thing...Epic Fu's awesome. LOL

Dude, you are longwinded...(or longfingered--whatever the typing form of longwinded is). Have you ever considered lobbying for any injustices or writing a book on what's wrong with the media today? I mean, yeah, anybody can see what's happening--it's obvious; it's right before or eyes, but you convey your points in a powerful manner.

Anyway, the only reason I'm behind YT becoming more like TV is because I want to work for a TV network. Yeah, I know I'll become a cog. I know entertainment has been watered down lately, but it's what I want to do. So I'm all for networks working with websites to get their media to the masses (to an extent).

I want to make a cartoon and I want people to gather around the TV to watch and enjoy it. And I want to get paid everytime people watch their favorite moments on the Internet. Would I want to just do it for the art of animation--yes--will America allow me to do that--no. Unfortunately, we don't live in a society where you can make a living off of doing anything just for the art. It sucks, but the system won't change in our lifetime. So, if the option came up for me to sell-out so I can put pizza on the table--damn, right I'm gonna sell out and I'll know in th back of my mind that it's the system that put it there, not my talent or whatever. America's screwed up, and we can get it to a tolarable point, but it's going to take time. And, yes it's shallow, but I'm not going to be the one to live in a shack to prove a point about corporate takeover.

And I know you'll probably say that you can make a comofortable living doing things for the art, but how many people do that? Those are lightning in a bottle perecentages.

Uh...I guess I'll have to retract my longwinded statement to you.
Good to have you back guys...

And glad to see you liked superpowerless enough to "end credit" him ;)

so far I seem to have a knack for picking the end credit songs after a long period away :P

LOL @ earwax. I have never been a big fan of Pioneer headphones. The last Pioneer headphones i purchased were the SE-NC70S and in about three months the right side died out and the battery life was crap. What I do like about pioneer is the sound q...
