TheyTube (YouTube nickname)

YouTube is an American video-sharing website that began in February 2005. In November 2006, Google purchased YouTube. Those who have criticized Google’s operation of YouTube (such as issues of censorship and promoting mainstream media product) have called it “TheyTube.” A YouTube video was titled “YouTube versus THEYTUBE” on November 22, 2006.
     
Other YouTube nicknames include “CensorTube,” “JewTube,” “ScrewTube,” “Themtube,” “UselessTube,” “WHOtube” and “YouBoob.”

YouTube is an American video-sharing website headquartered in San Bruno, California. Three former PayPal employees—Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim—created the service in February 2005. Google bought the site in November 2006 for US$1.65 billion; YouTube now operates as one of Google’s subsidiaries.

YouTube versus THEYTUBE

Let me make this clear: I love YouTube… still… and I’m not leaving. But I’m tired of seeing corporations take over. Its so sad: technological progress and human ingenuity gave us the first real opportunity to escape mass media, and in the end we end up bringing mass media in ourselves, like obedient drones. If only commercial videos could be kept separate from original ones!! But I’ve begged that too many times already and it isnt happening. THEYTUBE is winning, and management is on their side.

YouTube To Become TheyTube?
By Matthew Klickstein email: .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) , Jan 29, 2013 04:37 PM EST
Well, it’s finally happening.
 
After having begun as the brain child of three former PayPal employees in the halcyon pre-Economic Collapse year of 2005, YouTube - the service that allows all of us, any of us to upload videos of our cats jumping out the window, our babies sneezing, and our dads falling down the stairs to his grizzly death - is about to go PayTV.
