regarding Youtube and viral videos--- are you aware of all the dozens of protest and boycott videos regarding Googles agenda to change Youtube ?? reference nytimes.com
article "Yotube" Dec13th -- very enlightening !-- it takes away lots of access from Youtubers and gives it over to the "corporates"-- today is a boycott day and the next is Dec.24 - then Jan 1st
These imposed changes are SHAMEFUL !!!

What does Ray Williams bring to the viral video party that warrants multiple spots on this topic so often?
I must be missing it.
Help me out somebody.

I think his may be a paid advertisement. I think many of these are. They are always lame. Before I clicked on this, I told myself, "Okay, this is the last time. If these are all awful AGAIN I am never opening this feature again." And so it is.

Thanks, Caroleeena.
Because from what I've seen, someone would have to pay me to watch them again.

Wow. Really?
Way too many pseudo-stories by someone trying to sell stuff on HP lately.
Smells of Payola....

Posting pop videos completely ruins the idea of "viral videos."

"So what we get drunk, so what we smoke weed, we just having fun, we don't care who sees, so what we go out, that's how it's supposed to be, living young and wild and free. . . ." - nice hook!
