Not true, I've seen adult videos uploaded and deleted after a while.

Just hire hire 50 indian guys and tell them to check 1000 videos each, pay each one $5 a day and you're done.

Well man, I'm not saying that I am sure about this. I'm just saying that they have a system that a lot of entrepreneurs would have lover to have and it would be worth really big bucks.

Think of how many people probably thought about a Youtube concept then trashed the Idea after thinking a buch of CP would be uploaded and they would be in a shit situation. Youtube thought about it, and solved the problem and that in itself is worth money.

This is a pretty silly thread.

yeah einstein... they solved it with reviewers and a link under each video for youtube users to flag a video as "innapropriate"

you are so dumb... that after a few more posts, dumb people are going to start complaining.
:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Good point! But, that would be an algorithm now wouldn't it?

WOW genious... 1.2 billions for an algorithm ?

Buy videocharge for 40 bucks, it can do that for you...

A program doing that would cost a couple thousands to develop.

You really have NO clue about the online business, web developement and techniques used to acheive what they want.

It would seem thay solved it that way, but I never report anything so why should I believe all these vigilant surfers are.

So explain why the "reviewers" don't stop the obvious copyrighted material!!!
Are they so stupid that the can't recognize a Seinfeld episode?

It's less sophisticated than you think and nothing new,check out for example videobox.com. Script can also check for sound, corrupted files etc. Instead accepting the user could just decline bad videos, in a large screen someone could even preview over 100 videos/min. Without even putting him on full force every hour, he could do 25k videos/day. That's 3 employees ;-)

Explain why Youtube reviewers can find porn but they can't find the copyrighted material that they are now facing a 1 billion dollar law suit over.

So they allowed content that will get them sued and persued content that's already in their search engine because.....why????

Is it possible that there's a algorithm to find porn but not other copyrighted material?

50 skeptical lamers.




That would still be proprietary software worth big bucks that involved algorithms, so you are only proving my point here.

50 nutcase

way slow :disgust

You're logic is so flawed. If you're fat and ugly, why there are hot people out there ?

Wikipedia was built by a secret algo too.

Who told you they can't (at least on a significant degree)? Copyrighted material is what made youtube what it is now.

Because youtube makes the bank by putting copyrighted content up... and it's potically correct to their userbase.

We have a video site such as youtube, and we let lots of stuff slip until we get complaints.

The TOS states that the user has to own the copyrights... that, they can't review.

roll $5k and i'll deliver such script in 2 weeks, you can then go sell it for a billion

What sites do you run that have anything to do with what google is doing ?

I'm really starting to think that you're a troll

You really have no clue about what is possible to do with technology right now... 0 idea

Because nobody has a "delete" button for either. :1orglaugh

WHAT???????

I'm the one that started the thread about "What technology could do" and you are the one telling me that it don't exist.

HUH?????

Oh, agreeing with this idiot again.

i think he is in grade school and just learned the word "algorithm"... maybe its on his "word a day" calendar and today is "algorithm" day and he couldn't figure out any good way to use it all day long.

If that's the lyrics from your CD than I aint buying that shit.

Oh, so since I don't have a big porn site like you then I don't know anything??

Just because you make a lot of money with a porn site doesn't mean you know everything and everybody else is stupid.

I make decent money programming for a cellular phone company but I don't call everyone stupid for dialing wrong numbers!!!!

googoo bought utube for the users, the community ... that is their focus.

no... you don't know anything and you have proven that in this thread. you are stupid because you won't listen to reason, ignore the obvious and cling to an idea that anyone can see is totally retarded, a few of whom, have taken the time to explain that to you... explanations which you choose to fully ignore.

dude... try to grasp this... last time... just for you. users flag youtube.com videos. the link is right there under each video. people do in fact review them manually. google has people manually reviewing SERPS from time to time... they have links for users to flag Adwords ads from time to time. its not difficult to control youtube.com no matter how you look at it and no matter what you seem to think, there is no magic "algorithm" and if you weren't such an idiot, you would realize immediately that 1) they don't develop and sell software. 2) if they want a piece of software, they don't need to pay 1.2 BILLION dollars for it. they are known to have access to programmers.

An algorithm to identify a porn video? :1orglaugh

i dont think your crazy sortie, i dont think your correct but your not crazy.

Why did google buy youtube ? because it has recognition, anything that big could spin off its own search engine or similar service and corner the market.. google is afraid . they bought it to run it into the ground so google video can flourish

p.s. your video porn algorithm has merit though

the money is in future contract with networks o broadcast their shows/movies

Youtube being more popular and bigger than google videos was in the prime position to snap these contracts up, now those nwtorks only have 1 choice. google or google

When are you people going to realize that the Google/YouTube deal has absolutely NOTHING to do with videos...NOTHING.

On September 31, GOOG was trading for just under $400/share. Within a month of the announcement it was trading at more than $500/share. Google's stockholders value went up by almost $5B (yes, that is a B)...and don't you for one second think that it was a coincidence. The stock market is what makes the world go around...it is legalized gambling and companies do it ALL THE TIME!

It doesn't take a brilliant business person to answer this question.....Is it a good deal if a company acquires another company for $1.6B if 30 days later their value increases by more than $4B??

Seems like an easy answer to me.

Going back to Soul_Rebel's thumb idea, it's pretty easy for a human to spot naked people; it's a little more involved to try and actually recognise faces or content.

FWIW people even flag vids of girls in bikinis.

No
I'm the one to tell you that a filter who could pull all adult content videos on the side for reviewers to reveiw asap wouldn't be hard to write... pixel tone and stuff... and it would be a couple thousands MAYBE a dozen thousadns to develop.

Captain Obvious, they wouldn't have bought it if there wasn't potential in it... people gamble on potential.

We have pre videos ads getting 12 % CTR on our network... because people are forced to watch them unlike standard television where you can zap... for now.

Online broadcasting is one of big things that's going to happen on the internet in the next 2 years, and they bought the biggest recognized support for it.

In the end, it's all about making money.

P.S. Even Bill Gates said online broadcasting is the future of television.

Now that I totaly see. Great point!

I'm just offering a possible mind bending alternative to this.
A "what if" scenario.

I've "trolled" the board long enough without posting to have read a few of your threads and it is clear that you are one of the more advanced technical minds on GFY. So, I respect that you don't completely agree, yet have an open mind. Of course, a person has to really be tech savy to even consider what I said a possiblity.

And "possiblity" was all I was really saying.

Well, that's exactly what the "algorithm" would be. So thanks for clarifying my point without making one of your own.

So go ahead and write the "couple thousands" dollar software so Microsoft can put it in it's browser and make porn haters STFU and make a cool mil!!!

But, you won't write it, because you can't.

Indian minimum wage: $3.07 A DAY!

its 2pac... good track :)

my head hurts from the stupidity in this thread

tat's true. no porn on youtube....anyone posted one there b4?
