Watch Shows and Movies on YouTube

Today we're excited to announce a new destination for television shows and an improved destination for movies on YouTube, where partners like Crackle, CBS, MGM, Lionsgate, Starz and many others have made thousands of television episodes and hundreds of movies available for you to watch, comment on, favorite and share. This addition is one of many efforts underway to ensure that we're offering you all the different kinds of video you want to see, from bedroom vlogs and citizen journalism reports to music videos and full-length films and TV shows.



To help you navigate through all this great content, we're introducing two new tabs to the YouTube masthead: the "Shows" tab allows you to browse shows by genre, network, title and popularity, while the "Subscriptions" tab will grant logged-in users one-click access to fresh content from their favorite creators.



Another change you'll notice today is the wider roll-out of in-stream ads, which we've been testing since October, to support our shows and movies content -- not unlike what you might see when viewing this type of content on TV.



While shows and movies are currently limited to users in the U.S., we look forward to expanding to other regions as soon as possible, and we're pleased to inform you that the "Subscriptions" tab will be available worldwide in the next few weeks.



We hope you enjoy watching shows and movies on YouTube. There's still work to be done and we look forward to iterating with you, whether that's rolling out new engagement features, expanding our content offering or improving your viewing experience. And, as with everything we do, we'll track your usage and feedback to preserve your fundamental YouTube experience while we take these steps to enhance it.



Yours,

Shiva Rajaraman, Product Manager, and Sara Pollack, Entertainment Marketing Manager

fuck this

GamePro0012 said...

This is the first time I've seen the YouTube masthead have a number of tabs (or with the new masthead, buttons) other than 4. Let's see if the rest of the YouTube community likes it, like me.

mark360videos said...

Well, at least if THE VIDEOS tab comes first before the SHOWS tab, then I'm fine with it.

04ray25number2 said...

Cool!!!!

seamonster73 said...

Wow I thought this change would be nad but I think it's great now!

barfnaruto56 said...

As long as you keep some of the videos that you already have before the changes,i'll be fine!

KOHPelord said...

It's the HULU MONSTER! RUN! Well, actually, it's not that bad. I miss my Community tab, though.

luverofjZero said...

NOOO NOO Im NOT exited for this

WHATTHEBUCKSHOW said...

Looks great! Nice selection! AND the subscription tab is very much appreciated and keeps the user content we want right there! Thank you for that!!

fallofautumndistro said...

Love the subscriptions tab!

JimTheGinger said...

It's a great addition if that's all it will take to keep YouTube running. It's definitely not as we feared. User content is still the highlight of YouTube.

SuperSonicPwns said...

no one likes this youtube!
should have never sold it to google....

The end of youtube?

thedailyenglishshow said...

This is great! I hope the movies are available in Japan soon. It's a bit odd having a "foreign" category if you have chosen "worldwide" at the top.

Garbage get it out out out. Youtube is by the people for the people. Hulu is there for the commercial garbage

HuluTube will never happen! Why the hell would anyone be smart enough to make YouTube look like Hulu!! (no, i'm not saying that the hulu design sucks, i'm saying it would suck for YouTube). Think of the developers! RECODING FTL!

To be honest, I kind of like the new features! I was scared at first (like the rest), but to me, this could bring in an even larger audience to the website! Great job YouTube, in my opinion!

YouTube, your grave awaits you.

are these updates only for american users? i live in canada and i haven't seen any changes yet,..(thank god)

LesaneRecords said...

OH MY GOD! IT'S HULUZILLA! RUN!

dwyerbrent said...

All you guys are finding it easy to criticize youtube/google for making these decisions but the fact is that YouTube at the moment is unprofitable, Google is losing money every day youtube is up. Hopefully these changes will extend the life of YouTube. These changes are better than having NO YouTube at all.

RadialSkid said...

YouTube is the cable access of web video....AND THAT'S HOW IT SHOULD STAY. By users, for users.

None of us want to be playing second-fiddle to reruns of "Family Guy" or whatever crappy shows represent the trendy, flashy, lowest common denominator of entertainment. YouTube should be a wellspring of user-generated creativity, not some stupid Hulu-clone that also happens to have some user-generated content on it.

I don't support the posting of TV shows and movies on YouTube....whether it's by unauthorized users or by the content holders themselves. There's a reason there's a "You" in YouTube.

TYfiTY said...

Okay at first I was worried this could mean the end of YouTube as we now it....The changes aren't that scary as what people made it out to be.

Sure there are a few TV shows and Movies on YouTube, BIG WHOOP. When you click on the "Videos Tab" the popular videos of the day show up from USERS, not TV shows or Movies...Personally, I think the changes are fine and won't effect me in any way. I don't even think partners would be effected in a /huge/ way.

I agree, any more of these change and YouTube may become 'Hulutube' but I do like the subscription button right next to 'Home.'

CommonSenselessVideo said...

they might as well have this on there new front page "WELCOME TO FAILTUBE."

WAYgooder said...

fail... this sux totally ruins the idea of YOUtube... wish we could reset youtube and make it the way it was at the beginning

foreal1992 said...

April 16th = The most controversial day in Youtube history.

RadialSkid said...

Search for the video "HULU TUBE - PHASING YOU OUT OF YOUTUBE" here on YouTube. Those of you defending YouTube's decision will discover what they're REALLY trying to do to this site.

WalrusGuy said...

Heh, practically all the comments are negative. That's rather promising.

Ulrich228 said...

This isnt even youtube anymore, the video HULU TUBE was right

BigAlMarketing said...

As seen on Youtube..... President Obama loved to talk about health care in the presidential race, but right now ..http://healthcare-or-sickcare.blogspot.com watch on You Tube

sportzlvr9328 said...

i was seriously scared at what was going to happen. mostly cause i didn't know what was going to happen. i don't like how disney and hulu are coming, but i realize that you are trying your best to save youtube for us. so thanks :]
i also DO like how we can watch movies now, considering i used to try and find parts on youtube (sorry :P)
i dont like how we now have commercials, considering that was a huge factor in why youtube became SO much better than tv.
i'm very sad that this is hurting our community and it seems like you are pushing away all of the users that made youtube what it is. which in a way, you are.
but i realize that you are trying to save the site and thank you for how you keep us posted on what you are doing.
don't keep making dramatic changes please. we love our youtube community the way it is :)

justanotherwannabee said...

2006 = YOUtUBE GOLDEN TIMES !!

homerrulezzzz said...

please make the shows tab worldwide. i dont want it to just be in the u.s.

justanotherwannabee said...

WHY DOESNT FUCKING YOUTUBE LISTEN TO US? WHEN YOU DO SOMETHING GAY AND WE DISAGREE WITH IT, YOU DONT DO SHIT!!! WELL NOW YOU MUST!

ANYONE WHO AGREES WITH ME GO TO THIS VIDEO AND SHARE IT WITH EVERYONE! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V025E_b5I4g

sportzlvr9328 said...

and im sorry that you're getting so many hate comments. we're just trying to defend what we love. its not directed at the team that saves us. but the companies that hurt us.

DefineTheTwilight said...

So many places say that they're going to expand to different regions, and yet years later many still haven't. I truly hope that YouTube won't be one of those places.

KittyMarshmellow101 said...

I'm really annoyed that it isnt available internationally. Ive been waiting for this since the changes wee first announced, and now I have to wait a few weeks? Fucking ridiculous. -.-

Ulrich228 said...

It's like the YOU in YOUTUBE is gone

FlippyCat said...

I'll probably never use this until there is a country filter.

Slyth66 said...

It's NOT that bad people. Put all the rumors aside, all the haters aside, and look at it how it is. An extra tab, and 2 new sections, shows and movies. That's it. None of the user content is removed, the USER is still first. The YOU is still in YOUTUBE. Quit complaining just because you hate change and look at it realistically. Actually, i like the new channel design and show/movie sections. It beats having to look up show and movie parts and watching 10 minute clips (come on, we all have done it, lol). So what I have to say is: "Thank you YouTube, I really like it!"

-Slyth66

GamerUntouch said...

Nope.
Its not fake.

Fail once again.
Site keeps going downhill.

Hazzoufc said...

It pretty much is going to be Hulu. How long is it going to take you to make all these shows and movies available internationally? This is a pretty big update but it's no good to anyone outside of the US.

TackyRackyComixNEO said...

Would've been a good idea if you made it completely separate from YouTube. The TV shows and movies are NOT US. The videos WE make are us. Why break something that you think you're trying to fix but was not actually broken in the first place? I'll tell you why---because now this is TubeCorps. Not YouTube, TubeCorps. (If you DO use that name, YT, I'm suing for infringement.) A site dominated by corporate suits promoting their material at the expense of user who once reveled in the freedom the site once gave. YouTube as it was originally intended is dead. Somebody get a trumpet and start playing "Taps".

MelancholicMelody said...

Yeah, fantastic. This is great and all, but where is the community tab?
Having shows and movies on YouTube is fine-but if this place turns into some hell hole that eliminates the purpose of this site: for users to CREATE their OWN content, then this little addition will cost YouTube. Dearly.
I miss the days when YouTube was a place for people to express themselves-not some dump for advertising. We have enough of that as it is, its called a TV.

movie3891 said...

I don't mind movies and TV shows being on YouTube as long as it does not show up in the search results and the "videos" tab so that it blocks user created content from being seen. Movies and TV shows should have its own search and should not be included with users videos.

RadialSkid said...

slyth66: REALLY? So why is the "Popular" page deliberately slanted towards professionally-produced content? Why is it that the videos section no longer has ratings visible, since YouTube users are generally savvy towards commercialization of YouTube and vote commercials down? And why do most of the news sites that cover this mention that this is part of a slow change that will eventually end up with only 25% of YouTube devoted to user-created content? Then again, considering you yourself appear to have a professional channel (with business contact information) disguised as a personal channel, I'm sure you have a vested interest in keeping up the illusion.

movie3891 said...

YouTube, please bring back the ability to sign in from the homepage.

Andy120290Returns said...

Say good-bye to the importance of user created content.

Slyth66 said...

@RadialSkid:
For one thing, I am a personal user. The contact info is for fan stuff. And no, I'm not even a partner. I make comedy videos. YouTube HAS to make money somehow, and they lose money everytime someone uploads a video (space on their server). The advertisers (the ones who produce shows and movies) pay more for hosting on the site. Of course Google is going to take the offer. It helps us in the long run by keeping YouTube up and running. So of course they are gonna promote their sponsors videos where possible, but they aren't taking away anything from us. And they removed the rating on the page BECAUSE Youtubers, like yourself, give videos a bad rating just because they are advertising a product. I don't think i would want to watch a video rated 1 star. So take the whole thing into consideration before making accusations toward myself and toward YouTube.

pixiesass said...

I think this is fantastic! I love that YouTube can be the place that I go to for EVERYTHING now - videos of my friends as well as some good TV shows. Thanks for looking out for your loyal users...we support you!

JobbyRoshTrobby said...

i think it will be cool but really its like hide us youtubers under some videos tab now if they put us first made the movies and what ever else an add on the that would be chill i agree with this guy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V025E_b5I4g&feature=popular

CrownVictoriaCop said...

Slyth66, this is only the start to what YouTube is going to turn in to. Eventually, all of the channels are going to be faded out, since the TV shows and movies will dominate YouTube. Try watching that video by therealweeklynews, and then post your opinions.

RadialSkid said...

Slyth66: The contact info is for fan stuff? Is that why the e-mail is marked "For business and media only?" There are numerous ways that Google can make more money off of YouTube without forcing advertising down the throats of regular viewers, or making those who struggle to produce their own creative content go up against professionally-produced, flash-in-the-pan television programming and movies.

TMack771 said...

We're sorry that you're getting so many hate comments. we're just trying to defend what we love: the YOUtube. its not directed at the team that saves us. but the companies that hurt us.

R.I.P. YOUtube --Funeral services will be held at Bill Gates house.

Slyth66 said...

@RadicalSkid:
This will be my last message to you since I do not want to spam the comments section. If you want to continue this conversation feel free to message me. I put "Business and Media" only because I want general questions and messages sent to my YouTube inbox. Why don't you even take a look at my videos before you accuse me of being some "business guy". YouTube is my home, and dedicate hours of my time to it. And it seems lately everything they try to do to help us, the users, gets bashed on by other users who only like to complain. If you don't like it, then just leave. YouTube doesn't care about all your hate messages. Sure, you have the right to disagree, but only disagreeing because you hate the site doesn't help. I agree, not all decisions made on YouTube are the best, but NOBODY'S PERFECT. They try out new things, they want to improve for themselves and for the users. Would you rather them charge you to upload a video or watch one. No, you wouldn't. Advertising has been a big part of Google's history, and how it became such a big industry. So no, I'm not a Google employee or a member of the YouTube staff, no I am not some big CEO of a company. I am just a 15 year old kid, defending my home.

TMack771 said...

Here's my idea Youtube staff.....Just make EVERYONE partners. Then simply pay some of your staff to start putting adds on the videos that are worthy. The users who want to collect their add revenue can just sign up to google ads and if they don't after 6 months, then you keep the profit --but warn them in advance of how much time they have a few times.

bob8972 said...

Yea you guys are happy to RUIN youtube
Ughh why don't you guys listen to the users for once?

Nizzeh2k8 said...

Congratulations Youtube you have done it yet again, you are now PROMOTING stuff like movies ect that you used to BAN people for having. What a fail, Im going to meta cafe.

grayfox106 said...

"...While shows and movies are currently limited to users in the U.S...." WOW Good work! So much for access to everyone. good work pushing out everyone that isnt American, how is racist name calling and this different from each other?

lildiriz77 said...

No one wants this. Why would you do it?

Poor You T. Llc... she was only 3 years old =[

Why'd she have to die? O yeah, the evil godfather, Google.

chriiis12345 said...

NO, NO, NO! This is just sad. YouTube has decided to promote other crap! Why don't these A-holes listen to their feedback? It's all about the money isn't it? YouTube just can't handle the fact that there are other sites with videos and YouTube wants to be the ONLY site for videos! This will kill Hulu, which is their main goal, they want the money they get. With this they should just change their name to "TheOneAndOnlyFuckingVideoWebsite". Its sad seeing people like Whatthebuck actually enjoying this. I have officially lost hope in YouTube.

SiPaQ said...

Well, I'm not excited at all.

Please, bring back the rating system under the thumbnails. It makes it easier to filter out the undesirable videos.

guyblackcat said...

Well, see you guys over at Vimeo.

chriiis12345 said...

TMack771 said...

Nizzeh2k8 , going to metacafe wont make Google [youtube's owners] mad. Metacafe is owned by Google. Besides, YT is way better, YT's only problem is they like poking the bear [users] a lot. One day, the bear is going to snap the twig.

Roooaaaaaaaar.

*twig snaps*

oORtvollOo said...

Holy shit. Every single commnet on this page is negitive. Youtube is losing money. Well youtube get ready to become FAILtube! goodbye

MoonWerewolfAir said...

Why do you need to do this!? You're taking your users OUT of YouTube for companies to promote their CRAP!? You're going to post COMMERCIALS everywhere!? What is WRONG with you, YouTube!? You are DISGUSTING! NO! You can't do this! You're making the site TERRIBLE! What about the people who make you POSSIBLE!? That's the LITTLE PEOPLE who are users, NOT the big old companies! FAILTube, YES! Disgusting! YouTube SUCKS now!

YEE941 said...

ok gaytube

meliss880 said...

ummm why is everyone pissed? this is GREAT NEWS!

TMack771 said...

I think some of you guys are being a bit emotional and unfair to the staff. Youtube is loosing money, this is a fact we have to deal with. As much as we all love Youtube, it's one expensive little diva to maintain. I think the route Google is going though is not bad per se [short run that is], however, in the long run, bit by bit, they will bury the YOU part of the tube. I think the people at Microsoft have a great opportunity here. Google is as big as God right now. Lets face it, the only thing Google does not own right about now are planets and that's probably because it's hard to place google ads on them. I think Microsoft needs to step in and do their little youtube spin off. The competition will only make things better and treat the little guys with more respect.

That's my 2 cents....peace out

PS, call me Bill Gates!

TackyRackyComixNEO said...

IDEA FOR YT TO DO: First, make a section that is fully composed of advertisements. Then, make a video or blog post saying something along the lines of the following: "Due to the fact that our profit margin is decreasing, we are losing money every day. We will not be able to maintain the site without this monetary support. That is why we need your help. Simply click on the links in our new Advertising section many times and we will generate a large amount of revenue from advertising. This way, we can ensure that we will be able to maintain the site without putting the average user at any disadvantage." Think about it.

rwmtiger said...

it TRUE! so that leak on the info is real! this bit! not only i got to put up with crappy ad but i going have to take the time to fix my setting on my Ad Block+ to let the video/ad pass. dam you youtube (>.<)

oh well. like i say before. i can only stop 99% of ad!

Congest said...

Youtube should be taken under direct public ownership and control. Nationalize this motherfucker! Youtube is too important to let the corporations run it.

rwmtiger said...

1 more thing. if youtube need money so bad. why not set up a YouTubeShop and sell thing that will make money. i know i will buy. i can use a new mouse pad or keyboard. who know. youtube shop may have a hot seller. than maybe the money is not a problem.

ElBastardoMagnifico said...

I don't know why you'd be excited about further disenfranchising the soul of this website, the awesome users who made this website great! Ole!

MarioLuigi191 said...

*uploads videos to Dailymotion*
:D

swetrich said...

this isnt as bad as we thought it would be but this is ridiculous youtube. its called YOUtube not protube or hulu or notyourtube
you guys really need to make it more about user generated content. thats what the people want. screw ad companys, you can get enough money thru users, if you would just partner more people! so stop making this a professionals site. its not, we come here for amateur and semi pro content not of that hollywood crap, no matter how old those movies are. WE WANT YOUTUBE BACK!

spiderman9944 said...

ok keep the sub tap and drop the hulutube crap we dont want this please listen to the users not the co. please this is YOUtube not ourtube so please drop everything but the sub tab

representativepress said...

This isn't bad, I agree with others that adding the "subscriptions" tab was pretty nice. I'm glad that YouTube hasn't abandoned those interested in producing and viewing citizen journalism reports. That tab is an improvement, I'm sure it will help users and channels connect more often. That change compliments the efforts channels like mine have made to get subscribers and the solidarity subscribers have shown. Check out my channel (sub if you like), I plan talk more about this positive change.

wow, you're all faggots, its like youtube is your lives, come on, this is fucking goos news, you fags doesnt appreciate any new changes

captainvideoblogger said...

Let me correct your post title since it has little ERROR. It should read: "Watch Shows and Movies on YouTube If You Are From USA - Other Countries Can Fuck Off"

ojmardueno said...

I don't understand why people are having such a fit. Isn't this what people wanted? to be able to watch tv shows, movies and music videos on youtube?

People have been uploading tv shows, movies and music videos so they can share them with other people, but by doing that, they have been committing copyright infringement. Now that those companies finally gave in, to us being able to watch movies and tv shows, by uploading all that content themselves, shouldn't we see this as a win for us, the users?

ojmardueno said...

I do have concerns over rumors that youtube will be putting the content of those companies in a more favorable position than most other users content. I have also heard rumors that youtube will be getting rid of the comments section and the ratings of videos here on youtube. I would like to know if these rumors have any truth to them. I would prefer an answer from somebody on the youtube team.

face it. they want money. the whole user created section would be full of the most subbscribed people and soon enough youtube would be a wasteland of 13 people still making videos with 0 views

its called a TV there's a reason why it's in the living room, not the computer

saqibali143 said...

WOW!!!! this is Amazing addition in YOUTUBE!!!

"This comment is not available in your country"

I love this comment.

Because the tv-shows are notavailable in your country or musicvideos.

Why are you setting up borderfences with razorwire on your site, youtube staffers?!?!?!

alice6790 said...

Thats crap, only available in the US?! I'm kind of getting sick of clicking on videos and telling me they are not available in my country, we should be able to watch videos all around the world, what is up with that?? There IS a world outside the US you know, even you are too short sighted to see that.

kristianskott said...

So typical it's only in the U.S. just like all the music videos, youtube was way better that time you could watch all the videos, no matter what country you were living in!!

CineFemme said...

I must say, Youtube, please tread lightly with the new partnerships. The reason Youtube is so popular--and successful--is because people have grown tired with the content of many major film and television companies (some of the very companies you've partnered with). Youtube has been a refreshing and welcoming departure from traditional media and I often find myself watching more of Youtube, than I do of my home television. If I wanted CBS content, I would visit CBS' website, but I don't, and that is what makes Youtube powerful. The user-created, and hard-to find content is the draw. In its often crude, short, and un-corporate approach, Youtube videos succeed on a level that many of your partners have failed to capitalize on, please do not sacrifice the reason why youtube is unique for the lure of advertising revenue. We know there will be some changes, but changing too much will force the audience to change its mind.

BOOscaredyoo said...

Great; Crap Changes And The Good Ones Aint Even Avaidible In Most Contries Like Mine.

Why Cant Youtube Realise That People Like us Make Them Money; So They Could At Least Hear What We Have To Say; If They Make These Terrible Changes And Much more It Wont Be Soon Untill Most Of The Viewers Who Broadcast themselves Will Quit Youtube.

nebenator said...

Haha "Broadcast Yourself"
Nice try.

officialstation said...

OK, it looks like there are a few videos that are available outside the US...

How about creating a new category called "Available worldwide" or something similar so non-US people can easily find shows/movies they can watch?

amazingfilms4 said...

No no no no NO!!!!!! This is a sign of total destruction of what YouTube is supposed to be! It throws the user community that made YouTube popular aside for a quick million bucks. What the hell is the point of that? Google is already vastly rich, how greedy can one get? This is unbelievable. I think there will end up being a mass exodus from YouTube to places like DailyMotion when this happens.

New YT Slogan
YouTube: Broadcast Yourself? Not a f***ing chance. You don't make us enough money.

I think it'd be nice to have the video buffering behind the beginning ad instead of having to watch it, then wait for the show to load

Way to take the "You" out of YouTube

gh0st333 said...

if you want to get an advantage over the competition (hulu.com etc.), make it available WORLDWIDE!

fr33domrider said...

...can you see nobody likes this? plus the movies andshows are shit. If people wanna watch the first movies ever made then go ahead.

MattPyrch said...

All you people hating on this are crazy saying its YOU tube not hulu or OURTtube or some other stuff...think for a second it still is YOUTUBE you get to chose the content YOU want to watch...because there is a new tab adding more content to the site doesn't mean you have to ever go see it and all the content that was previously on the site is still there under the video tab in the same place it has always been not to mention this will change help youtube improve their revenue generation they have expenses from all the bandwidth and their employees and to maintain the site they need to make more revenue or else youtube eventually would cease to exsist

Youtube your doing a great job i just wish you guys will make the interface more streamline but either way i will always stay loyal to you. Also try to get as much possible shows and movies please i will like lots of animation like naruto, one piece and bleach to watch it legal with adds so it can help the creators and youtube. Also you can make the front page of youtube kinda like the one for myspace wish is pretty good at using advertisement space. My final complain is that i live in a territory of the USA why cant i watch videos that are made for the USA i mean all these new shows that just came out it says not available in your country when im a US citizen because is a territory of the USA all our companies are American our food brands ect i want to watch things that are made for the USA please Google your the best. The last thing about Adsene it does not work in my youtube videos because is not available were i live yet im part of the USA. Thank you for all youtube your the best keep adding good stuff to the site i also like the whole lightbulb making the site dark to watch movies.

What the fuck are you thinking?

SamuelHorler said...

Hmmm... I hope everybody boycotts this new scheme, just for the principle of it. xxx

GoLdR0lex said...

'This video is not available in your country' ha typical greedy america, why am i not surprised, as if your country wasn't arrogant enough...

LoveandEqualityToAll said...

Why do people complain about useless give more constructive criticism because Youtube is just getting better if you don't like it then you will be like those people that still use those regular light bulbs instead of the new efficient ones and like those people that don't use Linux because is too difficult. Even better those adds that looks like a warning windows from a computer people thing is real and click than then an add comes. Get with the program you cant change progress.

ThunderDonkey said...

"This video is not available in your country. "
Haha thanks youtube!
fuck u american ego's

gregwilkins13 said...

all i want to say is that i think YouTube has way too many useless videos that make streamlining videos slow and expand a search to find something stupid that one isnt looking for.. i believe if youtube would get rid of dumb videos. i think the database would benifit and the downloads and searches would be more user friendly and reliable to get what you're looking for...

L33tMasta said...

Maybe you assholes should make it available in Canada

salojak said...

On YouTube Spanish you should add the Health show Ni Una Dieta Más. www.niunadietamas.com
It will be a huge success

RadialSkid said...

I wish those of you overseas would quit whining about this not being available in your country yet. You DO realize that content has different copyright holders depending on country, right, and that it is literally IMPOSSIBLE to extend this service to everyone in the world at once? I'm sure HuluTube is working hard to extend their new entertainment-industry-sellout service to those of you outside the US.

Idi0t00 said...

this stuff is garbage,

somecallmesam said...

awwww not in the UK! =(
oh well we have iPlayer, 4od and ITV Catchup (:

alejandroojeda said...

Im´agree with tihis is garbage. I´m from Argentina and i can´t watch anything because the video in not avalaible in my country. What a fuck is that???? And if the video are not for me, why you show me the links? Why you announce me as a great news that now i can watch shows and movies?

asdi1234 said...

chrisybwell said...

Lol, it looks like every comment is not happy about this. People just are ungrateful for this free service.

You should just shove everyone and shutdown YouTube for a week. Hey, it would show everyone that your not a corporate company that cares about money.

By the way, for every single comment saying. Oh ohohho ohoh its youtube, this takes the you out of youtube, what about broadcast yourself??? henh? you didnt thnik of that!

You can still upload crap videos and sad people can still watch them.

jimmysaunders said...

I think that youtube should focus on it's fresh user generated content, and publicizing that, rather than old movies and tv shows.. Some of the user generated series that are coming out now far exceeds most of the new "tv" and "movie" content they are providing.. Yet they are doing less to promote them and they are going by unseen.. An example is a new series I just found on youtube which has only had 2,000 views.. I think it's much better than anything I've seen on Sci Fi (ScyFy - haha!!) or Spike TV channel lately.. It's new and fresh and not some old re-run..

Check it out here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NeOl98doAU&feature=channel

Come on youtube, please don't regurgitate the same old stuff that crackle, hulu and fancast are.. If that's what people want, then they know where to find them.. Give us something fresh!! Make use of your great user generated series and help promote them instead.. This is the internet, not tv!! Remember??

nasied said...

¿Y para cuando en castellano?
¿O es que acaso los hispano-parlantes no tenemos derecho también a ver basura por youtube?

yummydummy321 said...

This is a terrible idea, it is just making it easier to be fucking lazy by putting it in one place. And now, nobody is going to give of flying fuck about peoples videos now, so now people who make videos like me, are being slapped in the face. now what we do is not going to matter

RadialSkid said...

chrisybwell: You make it sound like YouTube is the only free video upload site. You know what would happen if YouTube shut down for a week? The traffic would simply go to Veoh, Dailymotion, or Vimeo. That's probably what's about to happen, anyway.

dont know why yall are po'ed about it if you dont like it dont watch.

in a few years theyll probly add live webcam chat too.

LoveandEqualityToAll said...

Youtube yor doing great but you need to make it easy to find these legal shows put them in the category tab plus you should take notice on those illegal popular shows and provide legal Ad ones.

SEANBTV said...

im not gonna complain about the changes, its your company google, do what you want....

all i'm saying is it might very well hurt people who wish to do shows on youtube. By this I mean that people inspired by What The Buck, Philip DeFranco, or iJutine, may not be able to get the views needed to become a partner, unless YouTube still promotes videos from its users thatr were here before the big corperations...

So I guess what I mean to ask is what does this mean for people who may be trying to get a show going on youtube and become a partner?

dylankrolick said...

give it a week or 2 and everyone will be over it.

waltherchemnitz said...

So Charlie's Angels get's in the spotlight while user generated content goes unnoticed? This is bad. Why does a 30 year old rerun rate a spotlight? Because you're getting paid for it, that's why.

I first came to youtube because it was alternative to the usual hollywood garbage. Well, we'll all just start downrating these craptastic videos.

katotmottgogo said...

Also... if you're upset about this, then I know you're going to be totally pissed when youtube starts charging users to upload and host videos. Don't trip. It's going to have to happen just for the site to even be able to pay for itself. Right now, folks are complaining, but aren't paying a dime to keep the site running. While youtube loses millions monthly. If anything, you folks really ought to be glad for the new movie and show categories for the purpose of generating cost, so that you the small user can continue to keep doing what you are doing. So.... stop being scared that no one is going to want to view your videos clips. We live in a reality tv world today, and people are going to want to still see the every day style videos from the every day folks like us. If you're content is good, then don't worry about it. If it isn't... then tighten up on your grip. It's called growing pains.

Dragoon4002 said...

If we wanted to watch tv shows, i don't think we would be coming to youtube to do it.

YannickBoesmans said...

Ehm, just one question...

Will we (non-americans) be able to watch those shows????


Don't make it like those music videos, we can't watch them!

YannickBoesmans said...

Oh, srry, I've seen it, it's only available in the US! Yeeey!

You f*cking Americans!

katotmottgogo said...

And honestly.... you can't blame youtube if your country is not allowing it to be accepted there.

funkwurm said...

"from bedroom vlogs and citizen journalism reports" :D Nice poke at the doom scenario thinkers suggesting you were going to kill "the little man" on YouTube, I have no such fear :)

I do hope that I'll be able to see shows and movies from all over the world, even though I happen to live in the Netherlands. I'll ask for localized content when I feel like it, so far I've not been interested in it.

So I agree with YannickBoesmans in that sense, I'm now watching non-monetized Metallica music videos because the monetized ones aren't available for me? Surely there's an advertiser interested in advertising for the Dutch market that happens to like Metal Rock? Both YouTube and the advertisers are now missing out on those views right now.

Quadunit404 said...

NO! DON'T DO THIS! YOU'RE GOING TO GO MORE DOWNHILL THAN YOU ALREADY ARE!

HappyCabbie said...

Thank you for finally making this public. I just wish you had done it weeks ago when all the rumors were circulating. It would have avoided all this HuluTube drama

jammer421 said...

yeah! lol!!!!

rwmtiger said...

hahaha. some how my setting jump off from world video (o,O) nice try.

YouTube said...

Thanks for all your comments! We feel your pain international users, but, unfortunately, we don't get to decide where content is available because we don't own it. There are lots of rights involved and if our partners can't distribute content in certain regions, we have to respect that. We know you want it, though, and we'll do our best to expand.

THIS IS TERRIBLE.

You are cendoring many people on youtube. Now smaller channels won't be able to get bigger! And the bigger channels will even get smaller because of MTV channels and stuff. This was a place where people could braodcast themselves, now you're all just thinking about money. Sure we can still broadcast ourselves, but it will be WAY less fun and we won't be able to have that many viewers and subscribers. THIS IS TERRIBLE!!!

I'm not that upset about the tv shows and movies, I just fon't think they should be able to be rated and put on the front page. They weren't created by a user, they were created by a company. I thouht YouTube was all abou, "Brodcasting Yourself." You're not holding up to your end of the deal YouTube. And Google can go fck it's self.
