# saying goodbye to youtube > you promised me everything > ~ dire straits after many years of cheap brainless laughs you're finally swearing off youtube you'll no longer watch it link to it from your blog or use it in posts to illustrate ideas - no matter how seemingly relevant or 'useful' the wastey time of youtube has come to an end; it never was 'your personal tv' - you were simply caught floundering uselessly in a large dumb tube of digital waste belonging to faceless billionaires out for bloody ad-bucks - now and forever presided over by the screamingly irrelevant lord of the derps days of danger and infinite potential my unknown friend call for clarity of vision and inner quietude- not the brash self isolating electronic chatter of intrinsically foolish culture-noise or gross public displays of ego privatization so goodbye / good riddance youtube - it was intense dim fun(tm) all the way the last video you watched was "dire straits - romeo and juliet hd" [..] and as the images faded to a blue guitar solo and finally black you found yourself again more gladly lost - wandering the lonely blasted hurricane corridors of time // republic of bob
