Increasing traffic which is no doubt due in some part to the glut of YouTube Diggs Making the front page.Is it really necessary to Digg every new video posted on YouTube- however trivial and inane.
Well, I'm speaking from my own experience. For example, uploading a self-made high-res racing game video to YouTube comes out as a stamp sized, pixelated mess. It maybe a XviD to Flash conversion problem, though... don't really know what is the case.
In the Scottish vernacular "tube" is a stupid person or idiot. "You tube!" said in a casual and vaguely derogatory way in an urban Scottish accent sounds like a retort to someone who'd just said something stupid. Which given the moronic nature of some of the self-produced videos from 14-year-olds on there isn't so far off the mark :)

Download the videos you love the most, because soon YouTube will be bankrupt.

I LOVE YouTube. When I can't fall asleep I go on YouTube and look for funny videos to laugh at.
