YouTube a haven from media/industry brainwash; let's keep it that way
WHEN Novell employees fill YouTube with adverts (Microsoft does this too), they always have some good reason/excuse. Novell, just like any company, is made out of people, so it's responsible for the things they do.
There are lots of 'new' (some are practically old) videos which were tossed onto YouTube. Here is the first one.
That's a lot of Novell marketing material finding its way into YouTube in just one week. Who is responsible for this? Are arbitrary people voluntarily pushing Novell case studies for the public to watch? Who would 'pollute' a social network with advertisements, some of which used to be viral? ⬆

* What kind of pollution or disruption do you figure this is causing?
* YouTube has almost 80 million videos, and serves them about 100 million times a day. People upload 150,000 videos a day. You're worried about 4 Novell videos?
* Is this against the YouTube TOS? Something that Google forbids?
* Is it illegal?
* Did you search for videos from Oracle, Sun Microsystems, Computer Associates, Norton, Sybase? Video Professor? Funny Cats? Ringtone spam?
* Your collaborators disrupt and pollute other communities while promoting your blog. Are you planning on writing an article asking them to stop?
The last time you posted something about this, if I recall, you accused Novell employees of "astroturfing" YouYube or something like that, and you were then forced to modify your headline to reflect the fact that you were completely wrong.
Maybe during the period where you manually attach your silly red text to my comment you could find 5 minutes to reply as well? That would be grand. I'm having trouble understanding the idea behind this post. I don't want to just assume it's just that you hate Novell, you have a post quota to meet and you're bored.
Note: writer of this comment adds absolutely nothing but stalking and personal attacks against readers, as documented here.
Yesterday we read that it was quite cruel how IBM (or Red Hat) compelled staff to pretend to be happily leaving or "retiring" when the reality was, they had been pushed out with some "package"
If patent law had been applied to novels in the 1880s, great books would not have been written. If the EU applies it to software, every computer user will be restricted, says Richard Stallman
So the real extent of layoffs is greater than what's publicly stated (there are silent layoffs) [...] Whatever IBM says about the scope, scale, or magnitude of the "RAs", it doesn't tell the full story
This is a real problem and most certainly a big problem because when people try to find real information about security and GNU/Linux they instead read "word salads" made by bots
