Title says it all. Got the message of three remaining videos and then it locked.

I am using FireFox

Edit: Apparently, it was caused by me being logged into YouTube. But I would really like to be. Because that's where all my subscriptions are. If anyone knows of a way to have it both ways, please let me know.

Edit' : It was my Ghostery extension that was causing ruckus. I don't really like the idea of having to switch it off but at least it's nice to know the cause. Anyway, everything is working now. Even when I am logged in ^^

The devs aren't the ones making these decisions. That's like chewing out a customer support rep because their CEO did something you didn't like. Aim your anger more carefully.

How, though? Just like chewing out a customer support rep, the goal is to make it so either the employees constantly bring it up to their managers or they quit and the company can't find workers because it's so miserable.

Are the SWEs responsible for the decision? No. But if they find it too miserable to continue, they will quit and the people responsible will eventually have to respond.

That's really the only way to direct your anger at a CEO... Through the pocketbook. It's unfortunate that it's through the front line, but that's part of the job.

You're okay with putting somebody out of a job because of something somebody else did?
