Use as a Copwatch-like tool

It's certainly had an impact in terms of crime and questionable police brutality. Such as University of Florida Taser incident, UCLA Taser incident, and, more recently, the assault on the NYC Critical Mass rider.

Tay Zonday

If the freak popularity (and perhaps infamy) of "Chocolate Rain" is any indication, Tay Zonday definitely deserves a mention on this page. Especially since "Chocolate Rain" is not his only musical creation... --Luigifan (talk) 21:19, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OR/Weasel/Limited scope

While I don't dispute that Youtube is taken notice of by politicians, business, etc, I think it is more of a US/UK/West Europe thing. To pretend that the activities of a John Smith in those countries is comparable to say ... an average person in India or China is quite silly. To that end, I'll edit the intro a bit.

Plus, the article and the subject itself is more like a "wow, I use Youtube and know about it, and now I can see the things I discovered from Youtube in real life now" feeling article from end-users (again US/UK/WE based).

Deals exclusively with English-speaking "Internet celebrities"
Seems to exist solely to be an extra article in "Related articles" in the Youtube template —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.90.96.198 (talk) 07:09, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weasel words aplenty.
See WP:BIAS.

While there are plenty of references, which I take as a preemptive rebuttal of any OR claims, it still seems to show things from a Youtube user's pov.

(Yet another comment) Also, "effect on society" or "social impact" could be a misnomer. What prevents Youtube users discovering each other on the Internet then arranging to do a Real World thing? That is pretty much what this boils down into, and so cannot be attributed to Youtube alone: its more of a result of what the Internet is, a medium of communication. Youtube's involvement has been severely overstated.

"Social impact" really should be reserved for things which change the way (important things) in society work, such as politics. In that respect video sharing websites, of which Youtube is just one, may be mentioned, but in the long run this article should be distilled down to something in Internet#Social impact. 118.90.96.198 (talk) 06:55, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah this topic has so much potential but the current article is severely dissapointing. 67.9.148.47 (talk) 23:42, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Avril Lavigne's Girlfriend - not available?

The song (on YouTube at [1]) currently says "This video is private". It is a mystery what has happened to it, and it is not in the all-time charts either. Can anyone help? The article may have to remove the song from the charts if it remains this way.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 12:11, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Girlfriend" is now showing as "This video has been removed by the user." It looks like the end of the road for one of YouTube's most famous videos, and the article should be updated to reflect this. What is annoying is that no reason is given for the removal, and a Google search offered no help on this either.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 21:13, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The video is now up, with its original views. Strange.74.234.21.245 (talk) 07:58, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
