We must part ways with successful Partners? So they want a bigger part in the pie, and they are not getting it....booo hooo. By openly admiting that this was seccessful for them, and then turning away... how else can this be interpreted other than a spoiled child always wanting more and more with no apreciation?
Go ahead and let them turn away from the new medium. This is how information is shared nowdays. I'm sure they wont be gone for long. If anything, they will just be left out. There's really nothing to be gained from the "my way or the highway mentality here".
Anyone who sides with YouTube or Google on anything IS IN THE MATRIX LIVING A FRIGGIN' PIPE DREAM. Have you ever heard of the Opium fields and the dumbing down of the masses. GOOGLE = OPIUM. WAKE UP PEOPLE!
