I agree but I always thought YouTube was a great name for what it was. It was me choosing what was on (no pesky programming) and us making videos.

It’s very different now but “you”, as in me, was very central to my idea of what YouTube was. And the TV was a CRT. It was the tube. And as per GWB it was a series of tubes it came through (facetious).

I agree, actually. But I do think it’s an odd name given what it’s grown into. And as far as I know there’s no movement to have it changed.
