Intensification is the aim and result of Google, specifically their "online ad services" racket.
It is not created merely by the sharing of videos over the internet.
Such sharing was happening long before Google Video or YouTube existed.
Some HN commenters want readers to believe that YouTube, with its ridiculous "recommendations", is synonymous with sharing videos over a computer network... and that it's imp[ossible to share videos with people over a computer network without a "YouTube Apparatus". They warn that YouTube must exist, surveillance, advertising and recommendations are a must, or else sharing video over the internet will become impossible and terrible things will happen.
News flash. Terrible things are happening as a result of YouTube. Mosre specifically as a result of Google's surveillance and advertising tactics.
