YouTube Get Serious Competition from InfoWarsTV.com

Despite the popularity of Youtube its rep. has been tarnished over the past two years. Due to banning videos and giving very vague reasons, as well as, suspending accounts at a moments notice the once `user driven video site` has lost respect among many power users on the web. After famed American patriot Alex Jones had his account suspended, along with other account related to his operations, the patriots of the web decided to take action.

After a massive effort by the patriots of the web to have Alex Jones account, and others, giving back active status a new rival to Youtube emerged onto the scene. Enter InfowarsTV.com Surprisingly enough, this upstart video upload site quietly launched with the mission of providing an alternative to the seemingly monopoly Youtube currently enjoys in the video upload sector of the web. The site quickly gained plenty of attention form many in the web; which prompted the site to upgrade to a larger faster server. Although its upraising has not come without some problems.

The biggest problem has come from the most unexpected source; the person who inspired the sites creation in the first place Alex Jones. Mr. Jones threaten to sue InforWarsTV.com citing copyright violation. This move seems strange by many considering Jones himself makes almost everything he produces available online for free; while selling his productions in higher quality DVD`s and online pay-for-access members only sites. The full reason for this kind of surprising action may never be fully known. Surely there is more to the story than either side will ever admit.

The site seems to be getting only limited advertising offers to help cover the cost of daily operations. This can only be expected from a upstart non-profit web site. Despite the challenges website owner Chris Arnold seems determined to give the giant Youtube some serious competition. With new videos being uploaded daily from users the sites library seems to be growing quickly.

The future success of InfoWarsTV.com will largely depend on how well it is accepted by the patriot movement it intends to cater to. With the movement already having a large presence on Youtube attracting those users to InfoWarsTV.com will depend on now Youtube reacts to the sites presence. If Youtube continues to ban patriot videos and suspend accounts which regularly upload those videos InfoWarsTV.com could very well find itself in direct competition with Youtube. Either way, InfoWarsTV.com intends to be around for a while.

    This is the first time I've heard of the site. I'd imagine Alex's issue is with the domain name, not the actual site itself. Thanks for the heads up about the site, off to watch some videos...

    I am glad you enjoy this article I wrote. InfowarsTV.com seems determinded to compete with Youtube. Only time will tell if it can give Youtube a run for its money.

    Hahahaha. YouTube is only likely to get competition from an Alex Jones-related [Patriot, my ass] site on the front of "Most inane comments."

    Thank you for sharing your opinion sir. I am just glad that I am currently not caught up in the hell of living in the states currently.

    Do you own a home in the states? Now that would be funny.

    I am glad I'm not caught in the hell of believing Alex Jones when he cries wolf over any number of bull@!$%# claims about the government starting concentration camps for citizens, attacking Iran (like four different times) or engaging in any number of other behaviors which have not come to pass. Now, I certainly don't want to live under a fascist government, but I think that Mr. Jones's constant unwarranted cries do more harm than good: if the government did decide to imprison its citizens en masse, no one would believe it, writing it off as more Alex Jones bull@!$%#.

    But to answer your question, no I don't own a home. I don't really have any desire to own a home, I'd rather rent. Or, I'd rather have a system in which land tenure was fixed to eliminate absentee ownership of unimproved land.

    Well, I did not write this article to defend Alex Jones nor to flame him. I noticed something interesting happening on the internet and decided to bring it to light.

    Come on. You call him a "famed patriot" and refer to his supporters as "patriots." Don't pretend you don't support the guy.

    I never said I do not agree with some of what he reports. What I did write was a report of something happening on the web that is different and fresh. Somone is actually trying to challange Youtube. That in of itself is noteworthly.

    Support individual liberty. It's the only moral position to take.
