A break up letter to Youtube:

Dear Youtube:

I’m writing this not to end our friendship, but to hopefully make it better. I just have to move on, there’s this new website, Vimeo, and they didn’t yell at me for uploading a video with a Cher song. I mean sure, I know it won’t be all roses and boats made out of candy over there, but I’ll just have to take those chances. We’ve had our good times, like when you told me that Vomit was just as popular in Bolivia as it was in the United States for the first 2 weeks it was online. And that time I think I found an arsonist’s account. But...things have changed between us. We used to share a video for at least a few months before you realized I was infringing on copyright, but now, when I upload, you say no right away. It’s not you though, it’s me, I’m the one using Cher songs without Cher’s written permission. I understand Youtube, I do, but...but I can’t stay with you. I’m sorry.

Sincerely,

John Chew

P.S.

You can keep all the old videos, but the new ones I’m gonna have to give to Vimeo, you understand, it’d be weird if I was giving you both videos at the same time.
