Read the post again. I think it was commenting on a webpage that contains a flash blob but is otherwise empty. IOW if you viewed that page on a browser without flash then you would see a blank page. Youtube in contrast consists of more than just flash blobs and actually has some viewable html content.

Flash is more than just ads...
Fine. But when companies use flash exclusively to do things that can very well be done using html/javascript then they can go stuff themselves. I remember at one point for some downloads nokia used a flash blob - that is the kind of ignorant and arrogant behaviour that I detest.

I just go with the whole "Can I get to it via http://somedamnaddress.com?" and if it's yes, then the content is all the web page to me.
Next you'll be arguing that a "webpage" with just activex controls on it is still a webpage.
