Everytime you think it could not get even worse...
I daily check the channel from a certain user "http://www.youtube.com/user/sherbLP" for new videos. He is pretty good (german btw), not always with gaming but with his style of commenting, very entertaining. However. If you click

http://www.youtube.com/results?search_q ... rt+19&aq=f
the first link - newest part ... you have to login on youtube.. WTF?
Join the largest worldwide video community!

Get full access to YouTube with your account:

* Upload and share your own videos with the world
* Comment on, rate, and make video responses to your favorite videos
* Build playlists of favorites to watch later
This is not the regular ".. not available in your country bla bla" crap.


Even strange is you can watch THIS video however in his channel. (Super Meat Boy Part 19). It seems none of his other walkthrough video parts requieres to login to see it. Its dangerous if a company like google gains to much power.

edit: ok.. this stuff does not appear anymore, seems it was a bug. :ironic2:
However I showed this somebody and he also had to login on exactly that video, so it was not a bug on my side only. Strange anyway.

Not strange. Youtube seems to be constantelly working at their services. So it's perfectly possible having a temporary bug during a few hours there, until it gets noticed by the programmers themselves.
If they follow somewhat the guidelines I follow at another place, they should have this way:
their local files --> development server --> production server.

The production server is the server the public use, and sometimes little things like that may happen. For instance I am doing a mobile website for Aptoide (Android OS for smartphones), and the install button is still not working, although it works at the development server, yet it's already in production and should be fixed within this week. But if some user goes there, he might have the feeling: the button is still not working... however we're trying to fix it (although it doesn't depend on me atm).

Youtube did some bad stuff, but truth is we get all used to it eventually. For instance, I would really really like them to fix the playlists (if it was in my hands, I would have fixed it already, it's so damn easy to fix that sh*t, honestly, I had even friends who did the same thing for a school work, and this is what annoys me the most: I am barelly in the professional field, and yet I see bugs so easy to fix everywhere, so it must be coders lazyness, or the company heads).
