What do you find in youtube comments?

[Stella Vermillion]

You're wrong. Yes, I know this is based on opinion. Your opinion is wrong. Generation 5 was flat-out terrible. The storyline was boring, the leveling mechanics were just completely messed-up, and and most of the pokemon were just rip-off versions of generation 1 pokemon. I got pokemon white, played for a couple hours, and quit because it was literally just boring

That quote is from a youtube comment regarding someone's opinions on their favourite generations. That isn't all of the comment but i think this is the main idea of it. People really think opinions are wrong now and days. If you want to say opinions are wrong then that would make your opinion irrelevant because that means your opinion is wrong.

So what comments do you guys find in youtube?

Also please keep comments PG-13

I don't read YouTube comments. There may be a few intelligent comments posted to a video, but I don't want to shift through the festering piles of racism, misogyny, and homophobia to find them.

YouTube comments might just be the most ill-informed community on the internet. You could go on any video and you'll quickly find misogyny, rape and death threats, casual racism, homophobia, trans phobia, religious and political debate and pettiness. I frankly don't scroll down that far because I really don't need people with such shitty opinions in my life.

I don't really pay much attention to them either. I find reading them actually makes me want to weep for humanity sometimes. It's a breeding ground for nasty keyboard warriors. I am a big fan of Adam Buxton's Bug, his take on the youtube comments are hilarious, the way he reads them out and does the accent of the commenter is very funny. He captures the mentality perfectly.

Youtube commenters and Yahoo Answers commenters are the two reasons why if Western civilization falls during my lifetime, there's a part of me that will simply say 'yep foreign / alien conqueror X, we deserve it. Nuke us to hell and start over, it's better this way.'

The only comment I laugh at is when someone says 'x amount of people thought the dislike button said dis I like'

 

[Silverwynde]

What I find in YouTube comments is either something incredibly bigoted, incredibly stupid, a mix of the previous or a shameless plug for someone else's channel/video.

Though I do admit some of the "X amount of people hit dislike for this reason" comments kinda funny.

 

[Muur]

Idiocy. I usually just look for the top comment or two and see what's said as they're usually worth a read but that's it.

 

[Gravitas]

Oh boy, do I have some comments for you. I'd rather not mention specifics because I don't want this person to find who I am but somebody was making elaborate death threats on people because they liked a different generation of Pokemon. These threats were *really* graphic. It was insane.

 

[Vivillon]

When I watch a popular or slightly popular video: absolute chaos and foolish arguments going nowhere, usually starting with one legitimate comment.
When I watch a video by a smaller YouTuber: everybody is happy, except for maybe those one or two hate comments that are either devalued by other people or a joke done by the YouTuber's friend.

 

[Shinehollow]

People who like being a d**k for no reason and so on.I also look for idiots who think they know everything about the topic/game/series/whatever.I try to resist the urge to tell them that they're completely wrong,but sometimes I have to give in.Especially if they're insulting my favourite game/character/series/song/whatever.



Some YouTube comments are a lot like those people who comment on Sakurai's Miiverse post expecting him to see it.

 

[Kthleen]

It's mostly stopped (or I'm not visiting whatever videos it generally showed up in anymore), but I used to see "did he died?"

Sometimes, random comments are interesting. I just found this (

):

▼ ◄ ▲ ► ▼ ◄ ▲ ► ▼ ◄ ▲ ► ▼ ◄ ▲ ► ▼ ◄ ▲ ▼ ◄ ▲ ► ▼ ◄ ▲ ► ▼ ◄▼ ◄ ▲ ► ▼ ◄ ▲ ► ▼ Sorry, I just dropped my bag of Doritos in your comment box. ▼ ◄ ▲ ► ▼ ◄ ▲ ► ▼ ◄ ▲ ► ▼ ◄ ▲ ► ▼ ◄ ▲ ▼ ◄ ▲ ► ▼ ◄ ▲ ► ▼ ◄▼ ◄ ▲ ► ▼ ◄ ▲ ► ▼◄ ▲ ► ▼ ◄ ▲ ► ▼ ◄ ▲ ► ▼ ◄ ▲ ► ▼ ◄ ▲ ▼ ◄ ▲ ► ▼ ◄ ▲ ► ▼ ◄▼ ◄ ▲ ► ▼ ◄ ▲ ► ▼◄ ▲ ► ▼ ◄ ▲ ► ▼ ◄┐( °ー ° )┌

Otherwise, I generally watch "cute puppy/kitten" videos, so I get stuff like "its so fluffy I'm gonna die!" and "going to punch a wall to regain my manliness."

I love watching those kinds of videos myself but I often find the comments turn nasty even on those. There's always someone saying that the person in the video is holding the pet wrong or something like that. They act as though the poster is a terrible person who mistreats their animals.

True. I've even seen video posters take to preemptively or reactively putting "before you get worried/since there were a lot of worried comments, what happened was [newborn puppy was away from its mother for only a few seconds, kitten was only in the present box for a few seconds and it had air holes, etc.], so don't worry"-type comments in the descriptions.

That's not to say that call-out comments aren't sometimes warranted. Sometimes I'll look at what's supposed to be a "cute/funny compilation," and people rightly comment on, say, parents letting their kid tease the dog by repeatedly offering and retracting food (strangely, I remember seeing fewer comments about the parents who let their dog drag their baby by the foot of her onesie ), or people poking a dog until it snaps.

But generally, if it is cute and not disturbing, I pay the most attention to the variations of "aww so cute" and the occasional "can I buy/have it?"/"are you selling?"

Let's see:
- Racism
- Islamophobia
- Perverted comments
- Anti-Justin Bieber whining
- "x disliked this video"
- MLP references
- Stupidity
