This is corporate greed at work. A tiny minority of users know the importance and value of a symmetrical voting system. Most users dont care. So Google removes it because its good for business, not for the user. Massively downvoted videos a

This feels like forced innovation. Why not build a new product, that actually does what they want to do? And use the YT infrastructure? Why does Google have to shoehorn everything into YT? It is important to note that having your videos on

So what your suggesting is that an occupued part of India ought to be just left? If that happens, in no time will China start occupying Indian land. Not an inch of land ought to be spared. Territorial integrity is not compromisable.

This could be done with tests, by having open book tests. The point of a test is to check if you are capable on your own, and not piggybacking on someone elses intellect or hard work. It is true, that in the real world, the resources availa

Yeah no. Pakistan has always used terror as a weapon, in various ways, from the moment it was split from India. Setting up of the mujahideen gave a semi legitimate veneer to its activities and a funnel for money.
