Why is YouTube getting so annoying?

[Alina]

They want your real name. They're all mixed up w/ gmail etc --- Is SO ANNOYING. It seems like EVERY site wants to be a social networking site like FB or Twitter. Why can't they just leave us alone and let us watch some videos!!! It's getting ridiculous.
Someone mentioned the copyright thing...that may be it.... but honestly, the music industry has been notoriously greedy for so many years -- if they're losing money now because everything's gone digital, it's almost like, "oh well -- what goes around comes around." Maybe they should have treated the artists better over the years. Just sayin' :-) but I think it's better to just let people listen to the music for free on YouTube, rather than making YouTube so annoying it stops people from using it. At least the music gets heard -- maybe you will hear something and decide to go to a concert.... maybe you will decide to buy a CD as a gift -- there's still money to be made -- the music industry needs to be more creative. Times change.
