• Because stupid me decided to try out Youtube 3 second "Branding" thing.
  So I created a short 3 second wanky test video and applied it.
  Now youtube is reprocessing all 700+ videos before it will let me remove it.
  Great, thanks Youtube 
  I can now expect thousands of WTF comments and emails...

• Nothing that YT does surprises me any more. From changing commenting to something annoying, asking for a login every so often and then promptly dumping all subscriptions, to stuttering and stopping half way through anything ( though to be fair that is likely an issue with SAIX or MTN as the bandwidth suppliers here) or flat out refusing to play sound half way through unless I reload the page.

  It shouldn't take more than reprocessing a single video. I bet there is a big server farm over there.

  PROTIP: Use your ISP's DNS, not Google's. Had months of issue because I 'forgot' I did that. Supersport Live streaming was unwatchable, it was going via Europe/USA just because of the DNS...

• it's not the admins... it boils down to the management - and actually it's present in every single corporation.
  majority of the issues are related to excessive cost reduction while trying to roll-out a shitload of new and fancy features (doesn't matter which corporation and what product we're talking about).
