News - YouTube video response facility will be dropped next month

Only four in a million YouTube viewers actually bothered to watch such videos.

Most supposed video responses do seem to be obvious spam attempts to get views from a more popular video, so the lack of clicks doesn't really surprise me, and I don't blame them for deciding to remove it instead.

I dont blame them for getting rid. Who cares what someone else thinks about what someone thinks in a video response? Watching one is enough. Especially when people do video responses to completely redundant videos.

I never found them in any way related or in anyway a response, probably for the best...

There's the one-in-a-million chance that the video responses actually contain related content, but that can be remedied simply by asking the uploader to include a link or something. Good on them for cutting the fat though.

I hope this affects the reply girls in a very negative way.

Is that the actual design or does their office in the top picture look half finished?

Design feature, there is no good reason you would build a stud wall like that otherwise.

i think the uploader of the original video should be in charge of wich video response ends up being underneath his video

Why would that be a good idea?

Then the original up-loader can pick and choose what responses are there which may be biased toward whatever the original video was about.

Makes sense to drop it if hardly anyone uses it, I've never personally clicked any response vids myself.
