I was at a YouTube conference a few years ago, before it went super mainstream. And one of the founders talked about his vision for the site: a platform where people can upload relevant content that would otherwise never be accessible to the public. The key word here is relevant. He specifically said that a video of “a cute puppy running around in the kitchen” is the kind of crap that he does NOT want propagating online.
Well. Oops. That’s exactly what I’ve been uploading to YouTube for years.
Today, Bear ate chocolate. And two caramel lollipops. I found the trail of wrappers this morning, that led to a very satiated and food-coma’d dog. Is she alive?! Yes, thank goodness. She didn’t eat enough to put her in danger. Does she look guilty?!?! Yes! Because SHE IS! She’ll be feeling the consequences of her actions in a few hours.
Silly. Fat. Bear.
And that, my friends, is my contribution to today’s volume of Internet spam. Thanks for tuning in.
