Will Spore Crash YouTube?
I want to make a prediction. YouTube will go down soon after July 17, the day that the Spore Creature Creator is released. Think about it. At least a million people will either download or buy it. One of its feature is uploading videos of your creature to YouTube. Most people will only do one short video, but I'm sure a small segment of the userbase will make hundreds of long videos. This is a ton of traffic, even without people watching all the uploaded videos. YouTube is already very, very popular, and the combined traffic will definitely not work in its favor.

Well, we don't really know if the YouTube feature is in the demo. If it is then there might be some problems with YouTube.
still, it wouldn't be hard at all to capture a small clip with a 3rd party software and manually upload it to youtube. It will be interesting to see how it turns out
Thanks for the comments!
To clarify, I found this quote on http://forums.gametrailers.com/showthread.php?t=414178 :
The free demo version of the Spore Creature Creator will be available worldwide via download from www.spore.com. The demo lets players shape, paint and play with an unlimited number of creatures, using 25 percent of the creature-making parts from Spore. Gamers can then share these creations with their friends, including seamless uploads to YouTube.
