Feature This! button disappeared?

[zaranyzerak]

Anyone else notice that the "Feature This!" button seems to have disappeared from our video pages? Still shows up on Groups, but not on individual video pages.

So this begs the question...if we don't have the button anymore, how are the Featured videos being chosen? And more importantly, does this mean that we no longer have a say in what gets featured?

I realize I'm probably being alarmist and it's likely just another "glitch" due to some as yet unnamed "system improvement." But it couldn't have occured at a worse time for me personally, as I was really hoping folks could vote to have my latest video featured...especially since most of the folks who have SEEN it seem to feel it SHOULD be featured...sigh...

Anyone know what's going on with that?

The "feature this" button has been missing for a while now. I don't know why YT took it away, unless they were getting too many people trying to abuse it... I think that this is yet another problem with the "new and improved" YouTube. I have seen many people asking about this. No one seems to know how videos get featured anymore. Lots of people are upset with what has been featured lately. I wish I had an answer for you zaranyzerak, but I don't. I just hope this, as well as the subscription problem either gets fixed (if they are glitches) or changed soon. Maybe if we all talk about this more, assuming others are bothered as well, YT will take notice... =)

Ah, okay (well not OKAY, but you know what I mean) I had feeling it was probably missing for a while but I just hadn't noticed until I put something up I actually felt deserved to be featured...

I sent them an e-mail about the issue, and got a nice canned response back. Something like, "Here's our FAQ on uploading videos. Hope this answers your question!" Erm...yeah. Not really, thanks! So I sent 'em another one, thanking them for the FAQ and asking my question again. Thus far, no response.
