Official Hooktube Thread

Since every other discussion seems to be getting derailed with Hooktube/Anti-hooktube flaming. So type away! I'll start:

Anti-hooktubers, why don't you like Hooktube? Are you incredulous to the legitimacy of such a project? Or do you think it's unethical? Or are you frustrated that there are people using Hooktube and not looking for a true, viable alternative to YouTube?

Before you started correcting other people's YouTube links to HookTube links, /lounge/ was for a brief time 90% HookTube, because people learned by imitation. By turning HookTube, a simple utility that did so little it was hardly worth even acknowledging, into the object of debate, you effectively ruined any chance of HookTube gaining dominance over /lounge/. You. You did this. The YouTube spammer was simply the logical conclusion of your actions--inevitable contrarianism and skepticism towards unwarranted harassment.
