Is YouTube "bad"? As Chris said, morally? No. But, there's a LOT of bad crap that ends up there - more bad than good IMO. Personally, I think it's a giant waste of time and, of all of the hundreds of links I've been pointed to on YouTube, I think maybe 5 were actually worth viewing. I just don't have the time nor the inclination to watch sub-par videos. I don't even watch TV because I can't seem to find anything that is worth watching in amongst all of the crap. I certainly don't want to spend my time passivly watching someone else's stupid pet tricks or whatever it is.

I'm sure there are good things on YouTube, but I'm not up for finding the needle in the very large haystack.

Now, if the Bruce and Norman Yonemoto, The Damaged Californians, Bill Viola, Hidja Keating posted their videos on YouTube, I'd be all over it, but that kind of thoughtful presentation doesn't seem to be available on YouTube.
