Auto-Resolution choosing video players.
So we've finally entered an era where most networks post their shows online to watch. Great right? I mean, you still have to watch ads, but we'll never get away from that. So in this era, most people I know have broadband, and if they don't, they don't watch TV shows online. So why then do the networks feel like they need to have auto-resolution choosing video players? I feel they do a terrible job of choosing the right resolution. Example: I was catching up on this season's NCIS LA on cbs.com. Their video player has the ability to show HD, but only when it chooses to. Whenever I go to full screen, it goes to a higher resolution, but it would never go to HD. A little background info: my school has 95 m/bits per second+ speeds. And it's definitely not that my computer can't handle it. And you know what, even if I do have to pause and let it buffer every once and a while, I'd still rather do that and be able to watch it in HD. On a side note, ABC is the best with making all their shows available online, but their video player lacks volume control...

YouTube reposts.
I don't get why there are multiples of most videos on YouTube. Do people feel like they need to download, and re-upload a video that is already on YouTube, just to put in the description: "I didn't make this video, nor do I take credit for it. Original video here: youtube.com/.......". Does anyone know the point? Are they just really self-centered and hope to gain more channel views? Even worse than the reposts are the ad videos. The ones that look real, you click them, and they are just a still image with an annotation with a link to a virus. "View the full video here!" Why not just put the full video on YouTube, huh? Also pointless, YouTube comments. The haven and breeding ground of trolls.
