Whats the deal with YouTube

When I search I only get crappy amature videos, its like I cant view any music videos or something. I tried it on my friends sprint touch and his is the same way.
Ex, search the desktop version for" the lonely island im on a boat" and get tons of hits for the video.
Search the windows mobile version, I only get covers and audio only (with a still picture) versions.
Is there some filter or something?

I remember reading somewhere that really popular videos, or music gets censored from the Youtube app. I can't remember the reason though.

as far as I know also the videos are prepared for use on your device and they would probably likely only have short video's etc. you tube I think converts them but obviously not all of them.

I don't have that problem with my diamond youtube, although the lonely island im on a boat video gives you that garbage even on a PC its hard to find the actual video, it might just be the idiots who have taken over youtube and not the diamond, not sure why they would censure anything.

Search "the lonely island im on a boat" on PC, first six results right at the top are the video, Search on the HTC app all I get is amature crap.
Although I found out today I'm getting put on the company phone plan (no more phone bill!)
Bad news, everyone here uses iphones! Haha, if they werent gonna pay the bill I'd tell them to shove it!
Thank you for the response though.

wow when i searched it on a pc I got some idiots making their own amateur crap.

I don't get that on my youtube though, maybe its your version? that just seems weird that it would filter it out.
