MTV's App and YouTube channel are awful

Discussion

First point is the MTV App's organization is so poor, sometimes the episode autoplays backwards in that it will show episode 8 and then 7 after it's over. Not to mention it constantly bombards me with ads and seemingly asks me to activate my device every week. The app has essentially turned me off from shows like EOTB and AYTO because I don't care enough to deal with the app.

Meanwhile, MTV, a channel that aims for a youthful demographic, does not use their YT Channel nearly enough for one of their biggest shows. Since MTV does not run re-runs of the Challenge often, their YT Channel would be the PERFECT place to stream old seasons of the show. By putting their seasons on YouTube, they'd gain so many new fans of the show and they'd have people actually tuning/DVRing/Tweeting about the show.

It's so annoying to see MTV be so antiquated in the way they treat their programming sometimes. Like yeah it's cool that we're getting people from all across the world with different sexualties on our TV, but if you only advertise to your home audience, then you're screwed. MTV could be doing so much more with the Challenge, AYTO, EOTB, etc.
