Has anyone noticed this on Youtube?

Hogzy · 13-02-2009 12:05am #1

The more i look at comments on youtube the more i see people going wayyyyyyyyy over the top with insulting comments, saw one comment on a persons video remembering his dead dog, the comment read "glad your Fa**ot ass dog is dead, its an ugly beast that should have been put out of its misery with a shotgun. your a f**king asshole, go suck a dick"

Why doesnt youtube ban these people, there all over the site, And it seems to be youtube only, god id love to get my hands on the people who say these things, there just so uncalled for!

badabinbadaboom · 13-02-2009 12:08am

Yeah that ****hole could really use some moderators.

SoWatchaWant · 13-02-2009 12:08am

"lol **** u fag, hope u rot in hel suking ur own cock"

Just another day on the Utube.

GhostInTheRuins · 13-02-2009 12:08am

Yeah, the vast majority of people that comment on youtube videos are retards.

Rich1691 · 13-02-2009 12:08am

Wow, thats harsh why would someone say that, the guy may have been asking for it if he posted a video of himself on youtube grieving over his dead dog, that's kind of odd. All the same the person who wrote that comment should be shot

Ruu_Old · 13-02-2009 12:09am

It would be impossible to moderate. It is easy, they can hide behind their computer and hurl abuse. Let us hope that karma bites them in the backside in real life.

It was just a bunch of home videos of the dog, He was a gorgeous Rough Collie

stovelid · 13-02-2009 12:14am

Hardly ever read the comments. Why would you want to?

Well considering the amount of money youtube generates and the amount of references it gets from numerous TV channels, magazines etc etc and not to forget children to who rely on it as a source for education i think that comments that contain these words should not appear on the site...

Zatman · 13-02-2009 12:15am

Have to agree with Ruu

Its just a bunch of bullies who sit at a computer thinking they are hard because they are commenting cause they know nothing will happen to them. Its really sad they do that but some people just have no social lives

I dunno how many times iv watched previous news reports on youtube...hence iv learned something, just because you watch a video doesnt mean its not education,there are thousands of videos on youtube, some people use it for alot more than entertainment,less of the smart ass comments!

The guy · 13-02-2009 12:24am

The only good comment I ever saw was one were Souljaboi was saying **** ALL YOU HATERS ****ING ASSHOLES for about two minutes.

The first comment was "Great job keeping up the stereotype"

Thrill · 13-02-2009 12:27am

Húrin · 13-02-2009 12:30am

yes I have noticed that the comments tend to be extraordinarily vitriolic,

and of a low intellectual standard:

The Youtube Comment Song is great. Its lyrics are compiled solely from the offensive user comments. Oddly enough, this video was banned from Youtube but the original Youtube Comments song which was all nice and flowery was allowed to stay. Nice censorship! Ban a song compiled of comments that haven't been banned on the site.

Epic Tissue · 13-02-2009 12:53am

I read them cause they are always hilarious:D

Bad idea to ban them, they'd start spreading to other places instead. I'd much rather they were all left to fester in one spot where they are easily ignored by just not scrolling down.

I think its hilarious too, think alot of people just do it to troll on youtube these days. Its also amazing how there isn't a default profanity filter on the site considering how many kids use it. The quotes I selected below from a random Chris Brown video prob won't show up properly here because of the filter but they are there in all their glory on youtube. Very heavy traffic on yer man's stuff at the moment since he got arrested for hitting Rihanna -

"Yo Chris you a real nigga for that mann...lol... i think i might buy one of your albums now... OK maybe not but now i wont throw my stereo out the window when your music comes on.. keep real homie"

"I'd suck the skin off his dick"

"If u like that gay arse music u must be a ******t or someone who gets beat up by woman"

"So some scumbag ****** slaps his ****** bitch around a bit, big deal who gives a **** about some ****** slut... i heard he when the cops broke in he was in the middle of ASS RAPING her, lucky bastard!! "

Here's the video lol - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqumjziPTzk

dbs_sailor · 13-02-2009 1:15am

i disagree with the OP

vicious, obscene youtube commenting is the only thing i have left when it's 4am and my day/night has gone ****. for example, tonight i had a terrible night of poker so i'm going to and comment on KISS videos with the most inventively disgraceful comments i can muster up.

no, i believe its great to have people like this, to give us something to discuss....

their just asking for attention by being as rude/obscene as physically posable

i tend to leave the noobs to their own devices...

Maybe I'm completely out of touch, but is this not just a symptom of suppressed rage in a society when people have no other outlets for it?
It seems to me that people bottle up stress in a way that my parents generation, and even moreso, my grandparents, didn't.
Hurling vicious abuse over the net at people who can't retaliate in person seems like a logical way to abate the rage in a controlled environment.

Lirange · 13-02-2009 8:12am

Unless the uploaders are desperate for feedback they should disable comments for their vids.

There's been people spouting sh*te on the internet for years, be it bbs or youtube. If you take it to heart, they win.

Now stop being such a fag!

Comments under videos on youtube are one of the things about the internet i despise. However, I only ever left one insulting comment. Wanted to watch a bit of Top Gear, noticed a 10 minute long Top Gear Season 12 video, clicked on it and it only turned out to be some fat bastard talking about what he had to eat that morning :mad: below the video were qbout 10 comments all containing the word "fat" in them.

Or maybe close the window because you have better things to be doing like watching a different video rather than read the "arguments" of fat, pasty faced American ponces playing Warcraft.

The brutality is often hilarious. Though not in the example given by the OP.

I've noticed more and more videos being posted with comments disabled. And I've often found useful information in them too.

Seriously, they are anonymous and extremely dumb... why on earth would you take their idiocy personally?

LOL

Still think it should be moderated though.
