T O P I C R E V I E WStawrSo.....tonight was the last straw. Lately youtube keeps bugging me to change my youtube username to my full name. "No...!!!" So persistent with the asking! It's been very annoying and aggravating. Started asking me WHY I don't want to use my full name, and "because it's none of your damn business, go play in traffic!" is not a choice. What if I get a job interview?! the place hiring can just find my name and everything I've done on youtube. People hiring/working for, can know me on a very personal level that's absolutely intrusive!Like "hey lets look this persons name on youtube, they watched a "how to pass a **** test video 2 days ago."It is not their place to intrude on my dark sense of humor, political views, spiritual beliefs, my curiosities, the music I like, and whatever else.I like commenting on youtube videos and liking them. Makes ya use google plus...eventually making me use my full name! It did that today. Would not let me change it. So I deleted my account, and am now looking for an alternative to youtube. http://www.thetoptens.com/best-alternatives-youtube/ Found a top 10 alternative page. What do you think of them? Do any of you use an alternative to youtube? And I want to thank Randall for not making us use our real names on Lindaland or make us connect through Google+. This place is a sanctuary to me! EllynlvxYeah, I atombombed three or four times with those guys.Just kept getting worse and worse...It was always easier to google ANYTHING on the search engine rather than youtube search anyway, so.Stawryeah I will admit its pretty easy to search stuff on youtube most of the time. I think I will still use it for entertainment, and unless I create a completely new account w/o using my full name...I will never use it to like, subscribe, and comment again. I attempted to create a new account on youtube but it asked me for my phone #, so I said forget it. EllynlvxYou can just put the links up in a mailbox draft or something.I use it, it doesn't use me.EllynlvxOf course, I would never think of putting anything up, so I am probably one of the one percent or something, ha.Although, with my record collection, I probably should have.(At times, I gave it to the one I knew who would...)Stawryeah I might create a completely new youtube account make a gmail and have a super fake name like LeeBob the 4th! Right now I'm checking out alternatives, not really sold on the alternatives right now. EllynlvxI think I went through half the alphabet when I would calm down.It was Ellynlvxand Ellinlvx and Elynlvxand Heaven only knows how many before I just blew them off for good.(So far, anyway, ha.)mirage29 .... Makes me think a LOT of philosophical thoughts that I keep having to EDIT-OUT right now.... ---- Ellyn, I MUST say that your 'presence' doeth provoke me to strange-speech and wild imaginations, haha! (Just lovin' you being around the forums....) o shoot~~ No. Stop! I's better go get a sandwich! "I will behave myself" "I will behave myself" "I will behave myself"*grabs her self by the collar* .... gotta go errr, see you Later, and elsewhere PixieJaneI think Google is strangling their golden gooses like YouTube trying to get one more golden egg out of them. I'm getting really sick of them, too. Back when Google took over YouTube (back when it was run by ordinary people) I was scared it would turn out like this, though after a couple of years of it not being more than a minor annoyance I relaxed...but all that I fear, and then some, has finally been realized. I think my days with YT are numbered as well.The dispiriting part to me is that if another site becomes the new popular site then Google will move in and do whatever it has to do, fair and unfair, legal and otherwise, to take it over, too, and I believe big business and big government both will back them. I think the "new YouTube" needs to have its server and all in say Europe, preferably Iceland or Sweden, so that Google couldn't take it over, nor could other big businesses bully them over all sorts of absurd trivialities. EllynlvxMirage?Have I somehow offended you?Stawr quote:Originally posted by PixieJane: I think the "new YouTube" needs to have its server and all in say Europe, preferably Iceland or Sweden, so that Google couldn't take it over, nor could other big businesses bully them over all sorts of absurd trivialities. I like that idea!mirage29 quote:Originally posted by Ellynlvx:Mirage?Have I somehow offended you?Oh! noooo, Ellyn, not at all!... AND, I'm so sorry if you got that impression! aw heck no... I was just feeling a little too bit weird & frisky at that moment. Sometimes I can be too 'playful'.... The topic seemed more maybe serious in tone, so I backed my way out as gracefully as possible..... Leaving opportunity to come back later to LL to see if anyone was 'throwing a playful-type thing' somewhere... (by YOU! You do that sort of thing, and you can be a 'perfectly-awful' tease.) AND, I've gotta learn 'the differences' with you. I'm can be an exhilarated hyper-playful giant big kid at Heart; but there are also the DEEPEST Depths.... like you have. ... Always Seasoned With Time, "we" all learn each other's ways, eventually. *wish, and Hope*By the way, I DEEPLY RESPECT the way you're allowing yourself to take chances and being 'transparent' with yourself. You are a person with ENORMOUS gifts, and are (fact) "Exceptional" Human. It takes GREAT COURAGE to stand Open with your potentials in full view.... I find this act of yours VERY inspiring! And I REALIZE that this takes risks, because you open yourself to people with great jealousy who can seek to shred you apart.NO Way!! I am "for" you. Shine, Ellyn.... If or WHEN I ever think something is amiss? then I will (99%-chance) gently ask first.... Like you're doing here~~ You are asking me. Opening yourself up?.... You've got no worries here~~ not with me, okay? To THINK that I ALMOST didn't see this post.... I'm sooooo relieved that I did. "Be" who you are... I'll watch YOU unfold, and I'll watch ME unfolding too. The act of revealing takes HUGE courage. I am observing what comes forth, and won't judge~~ just watching the Beauty, and the Expressing. I'm learning soooo much. The sky at the bottom of the well is just too limiting, eh? Spread and dry those wings.... Flap. Feel the Fresh Winds..... You've Got Purpose!THANK YOU so much, Dear Heart, for asking!! (sooo sorry) (music) Mills Brothers - You Always Hurt The One You Love [2:47] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cTxNlxPasw mirage29Pixie Jane-- I swear! You've got Super-powers active! You have a special ability to cut to the core in your observations!I ALSO have seen them behave like this before, and their 'narrowness' has the potential to SMOTHER "this" awesome thing... Wring it out and DUMP. Radical extremist type 'thinking'... They're not thinking of Future, but of what they can put under terrible thumb of control. They don't seem to be smart. Rich? yes. Smart, pitifully NO!They need people to pay attention to opinions like yours in "decision-making places." Unfortunately, GREED unchecked can spiral out of control. GREED has an anesthetic 'built-in' to it, and what they cannot or REFUSE to "Feel" WILL eventually be their own built-in demise, sadly....Government seems to be on that steroid too! ALL sides of the Fence!!!!! And 'some of them' are totally blind to it. As good as their intentions are, they HURT people. "People" are not Corporations. People run and manage the Corporations.Those with great responsibility must use their power and authority with their Humanity in proper place. We need the Humanitaries who Feel, but also the Law makers who Think and write out the Laws.But GREED has come into their Hearts. You know, some people prophesy a plague .... I say that the plague is already apparent and "they" don't 'realize' that the infected ones are among them. They make terrible long-term decisions that we are now just beginning to see the unintended consequences for... It is like a rip in the Universe for us. This affects globally. The ones who say nay, just haven't Felt it yet... but it comes. Like drunk hemophiliacs with numb feet, they stomp over treasure-filled beach. They are walking on 'broken-glass'... filled with gems.... They will bleed out, eventually.

I don't understand... Is there something 'else' going on here that I am just not aware of? What have you done that you think you had me tick me off? (I may get busy again really soon, so if you don't see me, I'm not neglecting you okay?... Working on financial papers. Waiting for what I need to arrive by mail~~ it's late arriving.)See you soon as I can...EllynlvxYes, Mirage, it's an Alien Conspiracy.But, don't worry, everything will be fine. Fine.Just stare deeply into the Kaleidoscope Figure, and repeat after me:All will be well...All will be well... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xL1ffMlzKY mirage29Oh, you just completely-mystically crack me up, Ellyn!!
