Further proof your content sucks since you have piles of content that no one wants to pay a monthly membership to see.

I think they call it aggregation. Pretty good money for liking stuff and letting other people know about that stuff. It sucks that the people who make the most money don't actually produce a damn thing.

Lucky for him that he wasn't a GFY member or he would have 'adapted' and started a shitty tube instead.

I hope it doesn't turn into a TechCrunch where every other post is them taking jabs at their parent company.
