Re: YouTube Now Hosts Your Channel Background Image

spritemoney

The WORSE update youtube has ever put out, why did you do this, i
think it's 1 of these reasons (or both of them) 1: because the newer
youtubers, are having trouble doing this, or because of hotlinking.
Now why did you get rid of animated images?!?! the file size limit is
too small, bring back the old way! youtube, just do it both ways, or
something like that, it will make everyone happy!
