Upsides and Downsides
On the upside of this weekend, B-day looks to be good, as with the weekend. Ultimate Alien was fantastic and I need to get around to watching Brave and the Bold.
On the downside, 4Kids since they're run by execs who hate the internet, have blocked a lot of Yugioh 5Ds on youtube, thus rendering most episodes unwatchable. It's not that they're blocking full episodes, oh NO. They're giving one the ability to watch half an episode and then the next video in the playlist reads "This video has been blocked by 4Kids TV on grounds of copyright". So I figured, Subtitled videos shouldn't be blocked right?
Wrong.
Turns out that 4Kids really hates its fans, (no big surprise there), and has blocked THAT content too. In bits and pieces. And it's the SAME halves of the episodes to boot. This is like when I was watching Huntik but worse. The blocking is so consistent that I can only see a little of each episode before it's completely ninjaed away.
Sigh. What's the point of having youtube if you get content blocked every five days? They don't have any Power Rangers or full Ben 10 UA episodes at times, BatB or anything of the sort! The culture war bullshit is making me want to go live in a cave with wifi somewhere. And companies can't give me the reason of "oh we put it up on our webpages". No, that doesn't work. Because they deliberately limit streaming content to the US only. Yeah. They have all of their shows online now, but like Hulu and other streaming content, they only cater to the American Public. Here in Canada, the content is unavailable which pisses me off even more.
Should check the YTV website. Maybe they've got some content that DOESN'T SUCK.
EDIT: I was wrong. YTV's online programming sucks. I'm not looking for full episodes of How To Be Indie jesus h christ. D:
