Yahoo May Build Its Own YouTube
An anonymous reader writes "Re/code reports that Yahoo will soon be stepping into the realm of internet video. They're seeking to take advantage of complaints from users who make videos for YouTube that they don't make enough money for their efforts. Yahoo has told content producers it can get them a bigger slice of the pie. 'For now, at least, Yahoo isn't talking about replicating YouTube's open platform, which lets users upload 100 hours of content every minute to the site. Instead, it is interested in cherry-picking particularly popular, more professional YouTube fare. Yahoo has also told some video owners that it can use its well-trafficked home page and other high-profile real estate to promote their clips on a non-exclusive basis. After a year, one source inside Yahoo said, it might open the platform up further.'"
...in fact, forget the Youtube thing.
They're seeking to take advantage of complaints from users who make videos for YouTube that they don't make enough money for their efforts.
Lets hope they put in even more ads. I really like the unskipable 30 second ads before some shitty 15 second video.
Yatube!
If it's only for established professional video publishers, it's not really YouTube as much as Hulu. Or perhaps Yahoo has the right idea to fill the gap between YouTube and Hulu for the strongest YouTube Partners.
They might be able to attract a higher quality of video by making the barrier to uploading higher. On Google's youtube, anyone can upload anything and so the quality is often very low but yahoo could go a different direction to a higher value strata for their youtube. Sort of the premium segment like Apple does vs Android.
Could work if they do it right but a lot of tube sites have started up and failed so it is a lot of risk for them.
Good luck to them, they'll certainly need it.
They'll probably be offering a bigger slice of a smaller pie. It might not be such a great deal for the content providers. I applaud them for trying though. If they can successfully cherry-pick the best of YouTube, that's an intriguing idea. It reminds me of how NBC incubates comics. Google might come up with a better approach. NBC looks like it could never really figure out how to capitalize on its incubation capabilities. After the Letterman fiasco, they just got really paranoid about letting talent go to another network. This strategy doesn't seem to be helping them. Instead of Jay Leno filling in for Johnny, we got re-runs. What did I do when that was happening? Switch to their old nemesis, Letterman who was also in re-runs against their re-run; but it was material I'd never seen before. So, NBC lost me during those 15 minutes before I turned out the lights and went to bed. They would have had me for those 15 minutes if they had been willing to incubate another guy and not worry about him going to another network.
If it means i don't have to deal with Google+
If you gave me a choice between a printer and a giraffe with explosive diarrhoea, i'll get my ladder and my raincoat
bigger slice of a small pie vs small slice of a big pie.
Google is increasingly trying harder to get me to use my real name while browsing/commenting on YouTube, even though I have repeatedly stated that I do not want to do so. The sooner there's less abusive competition, the better.
For my own experience the quantity and length of ads on Youtube has reached the tipping point where I start dreading even going to Youtube anymore. It's fine to see a 5 second ad for a video I know I will enjoy, but the ads on the 'speculative' videos where I'm just hopping around looking for something interesting to watch are beyond ridiculous. The other day I watched 10 crappy videos in a row, all of which had at least a 5 second-then-skip ad at the beginning, and one with a must-watch 15 second ad. That totaled one minute of ads for what turned out to be zero seconds of entertainment.
Holy 2005, Batman!
Google has a 9 year lead in this and they've been doing it better than anyone. How does Yahoo expect to compete in this space?
Honestly the one company I'm surprised HASN'T entered this space is Microsoft because their M.O. lately hasn't been to improve their core product offerings and give customers what they want, but to get into market segments where they see OTHERS succeeding, only to fail miserably (see: MP3 players, search engines) - even in cases where they once dominated the market then let it languish without further development because it hadn't hit critical mass yet (see: PDA/multimedia devices and Smartphones).
The Christian Right is Neither (Christian nor right). See: Matthew 23, Matthew 25, Ezekiel 16:48-50
I thought it was AOL who were all "Me too", but I guess Yahoo copied that as well.
"complaints from users who make videos for YouTube"
It sounds like these people who make videos "for" YouTube should take a closer look at their contract.
waaaaa, i uploaded content to a free video sharing site and didnt get paid enough. Get a job, you cunts.
Anyone who makes a youtube clone with less ads and no stupid social-tie-in comment system will demolish youtube very quickly. Unfortunately, since it's Yahoo, they're incapable of doing that. They will screw it up epically.
I welcome them. YouTube needs a realistic competitor. Why I say realistic is because there are already a good bunch of similar video sites but they have hard time rivaling YouTube.
The YouTube support for both watchers and content creators is terrible. If there's a technical problem in the site, good luck contacting anyone. Same thing for video makers: your channel might get flagged as infringing (and thus closed) completely automatically, based on some random troll viewer doing the flagging maliciously. After that, sorting out the situation is rather painful.
When media bundles products it is fine. You google that, you youtube this, but when IE is bundled with Windows, it is a monopoly.
Get a job, you cunts.
Does Yahoo or Google even offer effective search tools for video production jobs?
Who will go to yahoo to actually watch stuff?
Yeah, right there you have the biggest problem with yahoo.
It's not only Yahoo. Facebook reportedly has a similar "verification" process to enable extra privileges, and some sites using Facebook login require this verification, such as AOL's The Huffington Post. So does Google, where the privileges include Gmail and uploading longer videos to YouTube.
What a great idea!
Next, they should try releasing an operating system, an office productivity suite, a social network, and maybe launch a console.
Try to shove yahoo+ down our throats and it might work out for you
Wow.

If that's the best you've got apk must be right about hosts vs adblock.
Hosts do more with less (1 file) at a faster level
That'd be true if the hosts file processor in operating systems were actually efficient. I proposed an implementation involving a Bloom filter on my page about efficient implementation of a DNS blacklist. But in the operating systems deployed on most deployed PCs, a linear search through a multi-megabyte hosts file takes a while.
(ring 0)
Whether a resolver runs in supervisor mode (ring 0) or user mode (ring 3) makes little difference. It's about how efficient the resolution is, and most resolutions take longer than a context switch. There's no guarantee that it actually runs in ring 0; microkernels hand off hostname resolution to a user-space process. One example of this across multiple platforms is running a recursive resolver on localhost. Another is the possibility of storing the hosts file on a file system implemented in userspace (such as FUSE, Samba, or the like). What this ultimately means is that a well-coded user-space resolver can query a hosts file faster than a popular kernel's built-in linear search can.
Hosts files yield more speed (blocks ads and hardcodes favorite sites - faster than remote DNS)
One problem with hardcoding favorite sites comes when the IP address for a favorite site changes. That's what the expiry time on each record in a DNS zone was supposed to fix.
That particular use of bold made reading his post quite disjointed. His presentation negated the making of his point regardless of validity.

" But in the operating systems deployed on most deployed PCs, a linear search through a multi-megabyte hosts file takes a while." - by tepples (727027) on Saturday March 29, 2014 @11:58AM (#46609897) Homepage
It's done in RAM - top speed (for me, ring 0 kernelmode diskcache)
&
My favorite sites placement ASSURES equality OR SUPERIORITY of seek with indexing (that I lose since the Windows USERMODE SLOW clientside faulty dnscache service is off, substituting in using TCP/IP & kernelmode diskcache instead - SAVING the cpu cycles, RAM, & other forms of I/O that the faulty usermode slower dnscache service used too - BONUS)
It works: Mainly since, @ most, I do 24 seeks (at most mind you) of my FAV. SITES I keep @ the top of hosts WHERE I KNOW I SPEND A GOOD 95%++ OF MY TIME ONLINE...
(& the diskcache doesn't sort the file, it leaves it be as is - so, I do indeed equal OR EXCEED what a sorted & indexed seek would use, but I save what's WASTED there with large hosts in cpu, ram, & other forms of I/O + use FASTER SUBSYSTEMS to do the job of host-domain name resolution from memory)...
APK
P.S.=> Downside? Only when I MISS a lookup (negligible term in this equation - it's done @ speed of RAM)
Then I use OpenDNS (better secured & filtered) as my lookup for an external DNS server!
Plus - & my MILLIONS of blocked entries?
No biggie - they're KNOWN BAD sites/servers/hosts-domains, & I never INTENDED TO REACH THEM @ ALL IN THE 1st place - they're intentionally blocked...
The rest of the speed comes from LOCAL in memory resolves of where I spend MOST of my time online, laid out in a fashion that equals or beats sorted & indexed entries - plus, I make load & line-by-line PARSE of hosts faster with my app - I change the LARGER & SLOWER 127.0.0.1 blocking IP address to a SMALLER & FASTER form (0.0.0.0) for yet MORE speed & efficiency too... apk
I agree that you have to start at the bottom and build a community if you want to build a solid following. Big name titles mean people will stop in, and forget the place even exists once the video is done playing. I know I did that for years with anything aside from Youtube.
Not only are they aiming at the wrong end of the spectrum here , the non-exclusive video hosting means that nobody will bother linking to their copy versus the Youtube version. They're both free to watch, but Youtube has the advantage of name and platform support. Why would you make your blog or Facebook post of a video *less accessible* to your readers when Youtube is more widely available as a native app on cheaper mobile devices?
Man is the animal that laughs.
And occasionally whores for Karma.
If their recent redesign of YahooGroups is any indication, this will be a massive train wreck. The overhaul of YahooGroups was definitely a case of "fixing" something that wasn't broken. I admin three long-standing fora on YahooGroups (one even dates all the way back to before the eGroups acquisition) and plan to migrate all of them off of their system. Randomly dropped members, members who want to be removed but can't be, and other stupid shit.
Replacement will be a hosted solution of my choosing, on a server I have more control over. I've had enough.
Actually, it's trivial to do so.
Running more than one computer? You have to manually edit the hosts file on every one.
Concerned with futureproofing? Google has completely bypassed the hosts file on Android 4.4. I expect the same "feature" to appear on Windows either in the next SP, or the next version.
Hosts files are sequential lists of entries: completely unsuited for random access.
Obviously, the superior solution is a local DNS configured to return localhost/your favorite cat video site/your favorite porn site/whatever for all of those scumbag domains.
APK is just caught in the 80s.
I would rather see YouTube get competition from peer to peer systems like Popcorn Time or Bittorrent Live.
A long while ago Yahoo tried to compete with eBay offering YahooAuctions. Their heart wasn't in it, and they killed it off. The potential there was huge and because there is no competition, eBay has enjoyed enormous profits at the expense of anyone trying to sell stuff. The commission they take off every sale is huge. Yahoo could shave the commissions down just a bit and still make a healthy profit.
Oh, and it would be trivial for Yahoo to make a craigslist competitor. I wish they would. Heck, with flickr, they've already got the photo hosting set up. Users would be attracted by improved interface and excellent mobile buying and selling app. At present, Craigslist doesn't care about either of these things and deserves to be knocked off its laurels.
$5 / month hosted VPS on linux = awesome!
Google makes it REALLY hard to create accounts now that aren't tied to your real identity. Every time I try with nicknames and non-name handles, I get told there's something suspicious about my account (yeah right) and that they're blocking it.
If Yahoo doesn't try to make it a social tracking node (like the Google+ crap ruining the comments section), pays out well for hits, and provides a better interface for screening out the crap (low rated videos that get millions of hits based on a good teaser, duplicates, etc.) I think they stand a great chance of seeing a ton of videos migrate.
I swear to God...I swear to God! That is NOT how you treat your human!
I prefer to post on Archive.org. The site can support different resolutions and can even run on Libre-based operating systems. Also, you don't have to worry about regional restrictions. For example, I may send someone a Youtube link to a friend in Germany, but she cannot view it due to region restrictions. However, an Archive.org link will work. I would prefer Archive.org as the place for original, independent video content. No ads, no stress.

and still in the game and makes billions off of their ads.
1.) Moving hosts around network nodes/workstations = cake via logon scripts OR even a centrally located server scheduling updates via scheduled tasks - take your pick, either way, it's simple.
2.) "Future-Proofing"? You mean GOOGLE's SO AFRAID of hosts they REMOVED it (& it's a std. PART of the IP stack on everything else)...
3.) Random access? WTF would you NEED IT FOR??
4.) HERE IS THE BIG ONE:
DNS != Superior - DO YOU KNOW HOW OFTEN DNS GETS "REDIRECTED"?
a.) Look up the Kaminsky flaw (& even though there IS A PATCH?? Most ISPs (like 99%) HAVEN'T IMPLEMENTED THE PATCH, due to difficulties with MX records setup iirc).
b.) Do you ALSO know how many "rogue" DNS servers there are that malware use?
c.) Ever heard of "FastFlux" &/or Dynamic DNS using botnets too??
BOTH take advantage of DNS flaws rampantly (in easily being redirected to FALSE look-alike hijack sites).

Ars also has an article saying Yahoo maybe poaching Youtube "Stars" like Jenna Marbles.
http://arstechnica.com/busines...
Bachelor of Science in Psychology, and later attended Boston University for her Masters of Education in Sport Psychology and Counseling. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J... she's no slouch, and a sense of humor that's just enjoyable.
I first came across her in the video "How to trick people into thinking you're good looking" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... and it surprised me how decent it was (as opposed to most videos).
The bigger surprise? She's making ton's of money from Youtube ($4.3 million at least) - good for her. http://www.celebritynetworth.c...
Youtube has a video they put together "Rewind YouTube Style 2012" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... done to the video of PSY - Gangnam Style http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... (working on 2 Billion views , mucho dinero). And where I came across FreddieW ($1.8 million) another good sense of humor.
Yahoo has a long climb to even become seen as a video source, It went from the next big thing to unnoticed over night. Youtube has become huge and an unexpected source of income to many. Me? I still won't allow ads on my videos, that any aren't being being viewed is irrelevant :}
disclaimer
I don't subscribe to any youtube channels, apparently that's a good thing, reading the comments on the Ars article you can't view Youtube, or comment to a video without first going through Google +, I can (it can't be that hard).
And more importantly, I expect kick backs from all mentioned above.
If Yahoo did stuff different than YouTube, and backed the users, it could get popular. Content ID is a disaster on YouTube. I am surprised no one has truly taken advantage of that system.
There are ads on YouTube?
Yes. The ads typically appear on videos that YouTube won't let you watch because "This video requires Adobe Flash Player" or "The content owner has not made this video available on mobile".
[Yahoo will] cherry pick the content and pay a little better. I don't see where it's really any improvement for most people.
Some people's favorite video producers will be able to afford to license recognizable music for their videos. Or it might just be that the producer can keep producing videos as opposed to ending a series entirely in favor of a better paying job, as this anonymous commenter suggested.
Considering what the price is for browsing youtube
Does "the price" include the price of a VPN to circumvent "Not available in your country"?
Why does Yahoo! need a new YouTube alternative when they already have Broadcast.com?
How are you sure this article isn't a Slashvertisement for a grand reopening of Broadcast.com?
Comment removed based on user account deletion
The Yahoo homepage is a visual disaster. If they can lure high profile video producers away to that awful mess, more power to them.
There already are sites like Vimeo that don't have the social-tie-in. Obviously it's not working like you propose.
Vimeo's guidelines require uploaded videos to be not only non-infringing but also the uploader's own work (permission is explicitly not enough) and without "commercial intent". Uncertainty around how those rules shall be interpreted makes me hesitant to recommend it as a general-purpose alternative to YouTube. For example, any video containing footage of a video game is banned if uploaded by anyone other than the game's copyright owner, which appears to rules out video game reviews that use footage of the game being reviewed. It also appears to be banned as "Product demos and tutorials" if uploaded by the game's copyright owner.
...but nobody will come.
"Yahooligans!"?
I don't know about Yahoo or Google, but I do know Facebook locks out any number from these "free web services" that is already associated to another user account. These services really want a unique mobile phone number per person.
People have individual smartphones now. Have for years. It's not a problem for most people.
What luxury do most families give up in order to afford five smartphones for a family of five?
15 years ago Yahoo! destroyed broadcast.com, something that was better than YouTube will ever be. Now they have decided to start broadcast.com minus the in-house professionals that encoded and streamed the content for you. In April 1999, Yahoo! acquired the company for $5.7 billion (or over $10,000 per user) in stock and renamed it ...
Having to work for a living is the root of all evil.
"Yahoo May Build Its Own YouTube"
I've always wondered why Microsoft, Apple, or Yahoo haven't done this yet. YouTube did it as a startup. It can't be that difficult.
Does nobody remember 2005? Yahoo Video and Google Video competed with YouTube, it was not uncommon to see videos cross-posted on more than one.
Back in 2006, Yahoo bought JumpCut. I met some of the JumpCut founders shortly after the acquisition, and they were hopeful at the time, because they we being rebranded as "Yahoo Video".
Other than the implementation of ads, that doesn't different significantly from what they had 8 years ago. Why did it take this long?

"I used to be an idealist, but I got mugged by reality."
Hosts files are sequential lists of entries: completely unsuited for random access.
Obviously, the superior solution is a local DNS configured to return localhost/your favorite cat video site/your favorite porn site/whatever for all of those scumbag domains.
I sense you are being a little sarcastic, but the fact a hosts file is plaintext does not mean internal library routines cannot build an optimized version in memory and update it when the file on disk is updated.
A local DNS is superior for multiple machines, unless you like replicating your hosts file
to multiple machines. Depends on the OS of course how that is done, or if you can just throw it on a network filesystem.
1,) Hosts are processed by the IP stack itself in a FAR faster level of privelege (& the way I do it with LARGE hosts is to omit the use of the faulty local DNS clientside cache usermode service in Windows, saving CPU cycles, RAM, & other forms of I/O it uses in SLOWER usermode no less, & substitute the use of the KERNELMODE FASTER subsystems (local kernelmode diskcache + TCP/IP)).
2,) I do so with less moving parts & room for breakdown
3.) The IP stack's also written in a FASTER language (especially vs. Adblock & other browser addons), & runs in a FAR faster level of privelege too
4.) I put my favorite sites @ the TOP of the custom hosts file (where I spend 9%%++ of my time online), so it equals OR EXCEEDS indexing the faulty with large hosts files slower usermode clientside dns cache in Windows.
5.) The REST of the speed & efficiency comes from not only kernelmode FASTER subsystems @ work on it, but also the fact I BLOCK OUT ADBANNERS (saves up to 40++% of sites, like this one, to download + process) with hardcoding those favs too (faster than looking up hostname/domainname to IP address resolutions, by far)
ABOVE ALL ELSE - FACE FACTS:
Adblock = dead vs. ClarityRay, & hosts do FAR MORE for added speed, security, reliability, & even anonymity than AdBlock OR other browser addons... by far.
APK
P.S.=> Do the math (binary search pattern on 2-3 million entries = the 24 favorites I keep in my hosts @ the top of it (of a TOTAL of 2.4 million entries - majority & remainder of which past my favs are BLOCKED + never intended to be gotten to), so seeks for where I spend 95%++ of my time online = or beat indexing I lost... apk
Yahoo cannot even make yahoo mail work right. The "redesign" -- when it works -- is not user friendly at all. Most of the time it doesn't load pages and show mail at all.

Try your luck (& you'll NEED it: More like a miracle actually, lol) @ VALIDLY technically disproving the 17 points I enumerated here in favor of custom hosts files gfiving users of them added SPEED, SECURITY, RELIABILITY, & ANONYMITY online -> http://start64.com/index.php?o...
APK
P.S.=> THAT's the "best you got", naysayer trolls (in mere off-topic illogical FAILING effete ad hominem attacks)? Please, lol - YOU FAIL...
...apk
Is a LIBELOUS SCUMBAG & liar (whom I confronted) -> http://slashdot.org/comments.p... Who ADMITTEDLY stalked & harassed ME (not the other way around) -> http://slashdot.org/comments.p... AND HERE TOO http://slashdot.org/comments.p...
* & JUST LIKE YOU? He/She USES MULTIPLE TROLLING ACCOUNTS here on /. like most trolling scumbags are wont to do (Barbara, not Barbie = TomHudson (same person)).
APK
P.S.=> You're a lying piece of crap, troll, who I can PROVE is full of it, as I did just above (vs. your off-topic b.s.) - why don't you just LEAVE, like that diseased scumbag tomhudson/barbara, not barbie the MULTIPLE /. ACCOUNT USING TROLL (whom I cold-busted in it no less) did... apk
just what the heck dose it matter if someone watches on a mobile device or not?
For one thing, mobile devices don't support Adobe Flash Player. They never did in the case of iOS, and they no longer do in the case of Android. YouTube needs Flash Player to obfuscate the advertisement display process and streaming process in order to deter development of effective ad blockers and stream recorders. For another, some video producers had already exclusively sublicensed mobile rights to a party other than YouTube. I'm guessing YouTube assumes that collecting advertisement revenue from viewers on PCs while respecting the producer's existing contractual obligations is better than collecting no advertisement revenue at all.
They unsuccessfully tried to buy DailyMotion already.
APK, why the fuck do you even bother? You are utterly transparent to anyone with half a brain.
I have yet to see anyone back you up who isn't an AC and doesn't use exactly the same talking points as you, over and over again...
You've written ONE program. Not a very good one, either.
One that posted DAYS after I left this thread to get your bullshit in thinking I wouldn't see it...
So says the one who followed my posting history backwards...
Il n'y a pas de Planet B.
Which history? TrollingForHostsFiles (your sockpuppet) or Zontar (what you're using now, sockpuppetmaster). Yes, I saw apk's evidence of that here http://slashdot.org/comments.p... so either you are stupid or nuts from what was put up about you on that account or just another slashdot troll. Your burma shave bit gave you away and apk caught you in it.
By the way: You're WRONG AGAIN, Zontar (trolling by ac) - & when YOU can show us you've done MORE, EARLIER, & BETTER than I have in the art & science of computing (when YOU were still in DIAPERS I wager)?
Then, you can talk:

(&, for work done for EEC Systems/SuperSpeed.com on PAID CONTRACT (writing portions of their SuperCache program increasing its performance by up to 40% via my work) albeit, for their SuperDisk & HOW TO APPLY IT, took them to a finalist position @ MS Tech Ed, two years in a row 2000-2002, in its HARDEST CATEGORY: SQLServer Performance Enhancement).

Also, a British PC Mag in 2002 for many utilities I wrote, saw it @ BORDERS BOOKS but didn't buy it... by that point, I had moved onto other areas in this field besides coding only...
Being paid for an article that made me money over @ PCPitstop in 2008 for writing up a guide that has people showing NO VIRUSES/SPYWARES & other screwups, via following its point, such as THRONKA sees here -> http://www.xtremepccentral.com...
It's also been myself helping out the folks at the UltraDefrag64 project (a 64-bit defragger for Windows), in showing them code for how to do Process Priority Control @ the GUI usermode/ring 3/rpl 3 level in their program (good one too), & being credited for it by their lead dev & his team... see here -> http://ultradefrag.sourceforge... or here http://sourceforge.net/tracker...
Which ended up fixing a "bug" for them later, here -> http://sourceforge.net/p/ultra... [sourceforge.net] via its implementation (partially, NOT fully yet as I outline it & use in my applications such as this one -> http://www.start64.com/index.p...
