YouTube is great, but nothing is perfect, so let’s start the countdown.
10. Spammers – chain letters, “first post” etc.
9. Up thumb / down thumb system. – absolutely pointless
8. Audio preview – when you push enter, it reads it and i don’t need a screwed up robotic voice to read what i just wrote.
7. Flame Wars, its a Internet war where everyone hates everyone else. and where people spread false facts as truth.
6. Everyone downloading videos form youtube and UPLOADING them again. Stop this please.
5. 10 Minute upload limit for accounts that are not “director accounts” after the change
4. Updates, i liked the original layout where everything was simple and you knew where everything was, now there’s too much to handle
3. All the good YouTube Internet celebrities have pretty much stopped posting. (can’t blame YouTube itself, but its part of their website.)
2. They don’t communicate with you, even if they screwed up, they act as nothing has happened
1. Incorrect copyright infringement – If anyone claims your video, and you don’t have a lawyer, regardless if you own the video, its GONE. My video was mysteriously given back to me after it was taken down for half a year without any communication to me.

One of my biggest annoyances with Youtube is the number of idiotic/pointless videos that have 5 star ratings.
