True, but face it, those Dev's are set for life now, and anyone else who had shares.

and then everything got fucked up,(WMG, beta channels, new youtube style etc...)
Youtube was all chill until the last update, that bottom bar, all the 30sec+ ad's, new player all look like shit. But I do respect the new template/layout, it seems rather clean and light weight.
they just see the nice ass and tits on the spash of the vid, and its automatickly featured
like you see on it right now its says to you like 'wanna put it in?'

That was all the way back in 2006, my dear. Now, apparently, Viacom sold Xfire to Titan Gaming.
Xfire has always sucked ass since Viacom bought it out. I'm personally hoping Titan brings about plenty of changes so Xfire can be what it once was (but stays away from the money-making garbage, as it seems this company does solely that—a bad sign ).
For those of you interested in a client that isn't whored by big corporations, take a peak at Raptr. I personally don't like it all that much—seems it's trying to be a Facebook for the gaming community—but it's a decent client (and developed by Dennis Fong, the co-founder of Xfire).
