    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!

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

    Just another day on the Utube.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,035 ✭✭✭GhostInTheRuins


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 302 ✭✭Rich1691


    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

    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.

    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...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 302 ✭✭Zatman


    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 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"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,485 ✭✭✭Thrill




  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,045 ✭✭✭Húrin


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

    and of a low intellectual standard:

    Why did they go to all the bother of creating such a complicated plugin? Wouldn't a plugin to turn off all comments have done the exact same job? :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,264 ✭✭✭✭jester77


    People read the comments :eek:

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,015 ✭✭✭Epic Tissue


    I read them cause they are always hilarious:D

    p.s. it's not a new thing

    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.

    In fairness, the dog was pretty ugly.

    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

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,268 ✭✭✭Zapho


    In the words of xkcd......

    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...

    " it takes a big noob to pick an E-fight, but it takes a bigger one to close the window or /report "
