Right now they are only going to have that option available for big time prime time channels such as WWE and the like. The real big companies and all that. I think the statement said like 50 or so channels will have that feature.

If it ever became a real thing for ALL channels, kiss Youtube goodbye. This just REEKS of a Google cash-grab for the hell of it. Now if there was a button to donate towards my favorite Youtubers, I'd definitely do that here and there.

The adverts, as annoying as they are, happens to be one of the main ways your favorite youtubers get money. They only see money once they're videos generate $100 or more dollars which is drawn from views, likes, favorites, adverts, etc,etc.

If you are selling a rare item people will take chances all day...it's how I got off the ground. I'm not a "power seller" as I don't sell a bunch of fluff in volume to inflate my rank, but I have a nice history.

I agree 100%. I guess my point was that people that love capitalism so much and think it's perfect have to take the good(if any) and the not so good.

Yeah, Capitalism has so little going for it, it's quite hard to find anything good about it. /sarcasm.

There isn't anything good about it. It's working wonders in the U$ where wages and benefits are being driven down, but yet profits and CEO pay seems to be doing quite well

Not sure all those are pure capitalism though, at least not to the degree America has become. Australia seems to me to be a combination Socialist-Capitalist. I don't feel pure 100% capitalism is working in America too well right now-just my observation and experience.
