Lets just be β

Some people apparently thinks that the improvements in the latest version of nicovideo ⑨ weren’t for the best. Especially since the company more and more wants to make money on their users while making some stupid choices. For example, how the rankings looks now compared to… forever.

I myself must say that the removal of maximum bitrate for uploaded videos (premium) is a plus. Here’s hoping that nicovideo will move to more high res resolutions and 16:9 instead of 4:3. Although, I miss the early RC1 design that looked hand drawn. That was charming and had even won an award for best web design.

Funny thing to note is that the creator of the short version got called up by nicovideo staff to appear in a live show with them. This full version includes… a bit more people.
