I love it. With all the horrible and bloated changes they have been making, I thought there would be an opportunity to create simpler version of or alternate of YouTube. I guess you are still using YouTube contents so they can block you if they wish.

I still think there is an opportunity to create an alternate video sharing site that's good enough.

Good job, though! I will be using your site instead of youtube as long as your site is live.

There's also Google's own version of trimmed down youtube: http://www.youtube.com/feather_beta

After enabling that I've never looked back. No comments and loads way faster.

This should be more well known. I just enabled it and don't plan on ever looking back.

Until you want to watch a playlist or a channel without choosing each video each time.

Feather Beta doesn't work with the "Play all" links or playlists in general.

I created a little thing for making and sharing playlists: http://www.cueyoutube.com/

I tweet my lists using the hashtag #cueyoutube which means I can always go back and find them later using http://snapbird.org/

This is the problem I ran into, I originally enabled it think it was great and the next day promptly disabled it because of this.

You're right, this is wonderful.

Now all that's missing is comments - how about this?
