A recent change to YouTube requires newer versions of the Flash player (SWF 9
or 10) to work. The free implementations, Swfdec and Gnash, have limited
compatibility for SWF 8, 9 and 10. Swfdec is no longer maintained. The
Trisquel 3.5 repositories include Gnash 0.8.6, which does not support SWF 10.
The latest version of Gnash, 0.8.7, has better support, although I haven't
tried it yet. If you are having trouble with Flash and want to install Gnash
0.8.7, instructions can be found here:

We also need to keep in mind that although this discussion centers on
YouTube, designers for many other websites also use Flash to deliver content
or add eye candy. Many of them may not realize the impact it has on those
that use free (non-proprietary) software or how it builds dependence on
non-free software for web content... one more area to build awareness on and
educate people about.
