Why Does YouTube Have To Make It So Hard? [View all]

Didn't they ever CONSIDER there would be people like me that don't watch video on our little internet computers?
That maybe we might want to watch on a stand-alone unconnected computer with premium sound?
I know this may seem like and old concept, and all I ever watch is news clips that should be available to everyone.
YouTube, you are just shooting yourselves in the foot.
