What's the point in having a You Tube site if I can't see any of my requested video clips?

It seems like every video clip I request in You Tube has been blacked out. What's the point in having this video site if I can't see any of my favorite videos?

    If your YouTube is slow, stuck or weird -- and people tell you

    to install, change or update stuff -- DON'T TOUCH A THING.

    Your computer and YouTube were working fine before, right?

    It is never a good idea to go messing around with things like

    java scripts, firewall settings, flash players, antivirus utilities,

    pop-up blockers, activeX controls, registries, stupid add-ons,

    different browsers, or downloads of supposed enhancement

    programs.

    The first rule of thumb and best option should ALWAYS be:

    don't disable, erase, uninstall, separate, switch, download,

    alter, install or change anything. Doing those will probably

    only make matters worse for you.

    Your problem may correct itself within a few hours or by the

    next day, because YouTube frequently shuts down many of

    its servers every single day without telling anybody (in order

    to update stuff).

    But if your YouTube is still stuck or displays strange things,

    empty your "cache" of all "temporary internet files", "cookies"

    and "history". Things will probably be okay afterwards.

    If you're not sure how to do this, or if you want extra tips on

    how to make YouTube run even faster (all without having to

    install, buy or change anything), then click on my avatar and

    email me. I will guide you through "cache" clearing plus my

    other tips in easy English with full explanations.

    [Note: if you have Google Web Accelerator, dump it, burn it,

    trash it, disable it, uninstall it -- do everything you can to get

    as far away from it as possible (even though this contradicts

    my advice). Simply clicking "Don't Accelerate this Website"

    will not help you whatsoever.

    Note 2: longer videos sometimes only play when both "flash"

    AND "shockwave" are installed.]

    My reply,and that is what I do,on account that I already use Firefox,and VideoLan Player, I simply use the Firefox upload-on "Download Helper",and whilst you're looking video's on You tube,you simply click on the lively icon to your toolbar,and down load . Once you've gotten it to your computer,simply open up Video LAN Player,and click on File,Quick Open and revel in your flv from YouTube.
