Any YouTube staff members reading this post need to look at the
December 3rd 'Broadcasting Ourself' blog about this topic.  The
overwhelming majority of people want their bulletins back.  In fact,
it's a near-unanimous sentiment.  Additionally, some very serious
issues about privacy have been raised about the 'Recent Activities'
box which need to be addressed.  You say you're giving us more control
over our channel when, in fact, the opposite is true.  There's a very
clear message that people want you to fix problems before making
changes to features that WEREN'T BROKEN TO BEGIN WITH.  They also want
you to fix new problems that've come about because of the changes.
Better yet, they just want things back the way they were. You may be
happy to announce these changes but nobody else appears happy to hear
them.  If you truly do listen to feedback then pay attention, remove
the changes and restore YouTube back to the way it was ASAP.
Please.
