Yeah I actually don’t see how it’s misleading. “Walked away” is not synonymous with “stole,” as far as I know.

We would happily use YouTube as our video product (which would still live on our video hub), except for the fact that it would be completely untenable for us from an ad sales perspective given the kinds of revenue splits and deals which Google offers. The numbers just don’t work.

I am fully aware that our video tool is not perfect, and I can tell you that we are working with our provider (Ooyala) every day to improve it. And that includes reducing the amount of ads you’re seeing, investigating ad skipping options, and striving to make the player work well on every platform.

I know it’s the internet and it’s more than I can expect, but it would be nice if you actually assumed we wanted to do the best thing possible for users, instead of suggesting we didn’t care. Believe me, we’re working our asses off the improve everything about the site for you guys, and every day we struggle with how to provide the best experience while keeping the lights on and growing what we do. It’s a lot to ask, but try having a small bit of faith in us!
