Isn't You Tube too strict with content

Why is YouTube very strict with adult content. I mean, overly strict compared to other sites like Metacafe. And, the loading time is too long, that you'd be tired of waiting. I prefer Metacafe more.

I don't actually know what you're talking about that youtube has a slow loading time, i do know in fact that in my experience, youtube is faster than Meface. I don't know, maybe it's my computer or distance. They actually have the reason for that, because nowadays, it's like 70%-80% that has been on youtube is a child and teenager. And they are the most active members on that site. It may be in their concern that the child and teenager should not be exposed to that stuff. You may say that they have the age verification system and stuff, but do you know in facebook, mostly myspace maybe 5-8 years back on it's era, most kids and teenage fill in the wrong year for their birthday because it needs members over 13 or 18, i don't remember. The same thing here just for adult content, there's no point in age verification system because i can be easily turn off by selecting different year when they sign up which you can make hundreds account and no one will care.

I don't have a problem with their restrictions on "adult content" at all. Not everyone wants to watch that stuff and I'm glad there's some place I can go where it's not obvious to everyone.

I think it would vary depending on what you're talking about exactly. What kind of 'mature/adult content'? I've seen videos about the human body and there was no age restriction / asking me to sign in to watch it but yet on a video of a guy fighting with another and shouting there was a restriction? Made no sense I could watch a naked woman (although not sexually of course) but not a fight video without signing into youtube? As for slow speeds? Only thing I can think you're referring to is the slow buffering at times. For me though especially lately its only roughly 2 in every 20 videos will buffer slowly for me. Metacafe im not a fan of to be honest. Not after they closed my account for absolutely no reason lol ... Yeah im holding a grudge. I actually find metacafe slow compared to youtube and not as user friendly ...

Yup, but that where the quality comes in! People prefer Youtube as a reliable source anyday over others!

I do not agree that youtube video loads slow. You can just adjust the video settings to 240 to load the video faster than normal. And you don't need youtube for adult content. You already have youporn, redtube, bangbus and a hundred more for that.
