YouTube Red
Youtube is such a great site, like all the memories I've had with it and the old videos i used to watch countless times rangeing back to 2007 where videos like Angry German Kid, Smosh's Pokemon cover, Fred being the most subscribed YouTube channel and so on and so fourth. Then now we have more great content and content creators such as the the person with 44 million subs PewDiePie, Markiplier, Jacksepticeye, The Creatures, Game Grumps, Vanossgaming, and so on, but the difference with then and now are the ads. You would be scrolling through YouTube and seeing your favourite YouTuber just uploaded a new video, with so much excitement you have you click on it the BAM an add that you have to go through and if you're really lucky you either get no ads or the add where you can skip after 5 seconds which feels a lot much more longer than 5 seconds. But now there's YouTube Red where it disables adds, it sounds too good to be true, but just like that BAM (again) you have to pay $9.99 a month just for the removal of adds for videos. Now in my opinion that is a really dumb thing to have and to do because basically you're just paying $9.99 a month for a little thing in YouTube which actually helps YouTube grow as a website and as a community as it helps content creators to make more content for us. But there is also another solution to this since there is an app in the google chrome store where it's basically an add blocker which blocks all adds in YouTube so you wouldn't be interrupted when you're having a video marathon and the YouTubers would still get paid too.

Bye Bye Bye Television
Oh T.V how I used to watch you allay and all night. The memories that you gave me and the daily routine that I set up with you. On the weekdays after school how I watch Spongebob Squarepants then Fairly Odd Parents and right after some sitcoms like ICarly and Victorious. After that I would switch at around 10 pm to the family channel to watch Ned's Declassified School Survivor Guide right after that was The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. There were also those special days on the weekends where they would air some anime like Pokémon, Naruto, Bleach, Zatch Bell, InuYasha and Blue Dragon. For me the television gave me a bunch of fond memories and gave my family and I some time together in the living room together. But all of that started to go downhill. The reason why that it went downhill is because the cable company started to cut some channels off like first it was Teletoon and then Family Channel and all the other ones like Spike, Mtv, Discovery Channel, etc. The only channel I had was Ytv but the shows nowadays are just... really bad like the comedy is too boring, cliché and tries way too hard. With the limited amount of channels available for basic cable users they would only have a choice of about around 20 or less channels, or how it feels like it. For people that still seek entertainment like T.V they have resorted to using the internet to stream their favourite T.V shows. The main programs that people use are Netflix, YouTube, Putlocker (if it ever loads and looks good) or any other website that streams anything. I can see the reason why people would chose using Netflix and other streaming sites over T.V because for one reason it's more cheaper depending on your internet plan and the second reason is because, for my personal reason too, is because i feel like I'm in more control of what I want to watch and when I want to watch it too. Back when i was watching T.V with cable I would be impatient for waiting to watch my show it's either i end up not liking the episode, it's a re run, or I just miss it and i have no way of replaying the episode unless i had it recorded. So in my opinion T.V is dying but basically its being reborn through the internet.
