I'm bored waiting on UPS to deliver some stuff, so why not spark a conversation. Should I lobby to be the official Millionaire channel on YouTube? 
MillionaireTV is the official channel, but let's look at some stats:

So the official Millionaire channel and I have been around for about the same amount of time, but I've been posting videos of the show roughly 2 years longer than them. I have roughly 12x the amount of subscribers and channel views (more every week), and they have roughly 150,000 video views while I'm close to 10 million. Perhaps I should lobby them to become the new official Millionaire channel since I am promoting the show more than they are!
They'd probably end up making me only posting "good" videos though - meaning no more stupid contestants/huge fails/funny stuff. Worth the trade off? If I had to guess, I'd say whoever runs their channel is well aware of who I am and the fact they haven't really tried to stop me (except for that one video of Patricia Heaton in which I received a nice threat and had to remove it even though it scored over 1.2 million views in under 3 days) makes me think that perhaps I could negotiate. If they don't know who I am by this point then they are pretty much brain damaged or completely oblivious to keeping track of their show's presence online.
