Losing Faith In Youtube's Community...

[Mantonio]

Meh, the community is alright. At least, I find most of the atheist / educational channels on Youtube to have nice people. On the other side of the coin though, you get people like VenomfangX.

...people ever had ANY faith in youtube's 'community'?

Reading youtube comments is a surefire way to cause rage blackouts, spontaneous cancer, and loss of will to live.

I lost faith in youtube Months ago, any smart internet user (Nerd, anyone?) will know that without moderation, and the fact that ANYONE can post ANYTHING retards can and will post stuff, I mean, even Newgrounds has a pretty foolproof System where the video is put under ;Judgement' for a few days, where the viewers can vote wether they want the video on the site or not - stops absolute shit getting through most of the time. I only ever use youtube When absoluteley Necessary.

You just started loosing faith?

If youtube were to take down the video for offensive language, they would be hypocritical asshats for letting thousands of other videos stay up. It's not against the T&A to post rickrolls. So long as it doesn't violate the T&A the youtube moderation can't do crap about it.

Also, raging over rickrolls means you really need to chill out, because people rarely ever do anymore. I'm quite certain his "homophobic" and "racist" comments were just troll comments specifically placed there to piss you off.


New to the internet aren't ya?

The thing I'm pissed off mainly about is that I can't report him for Racist and Homophobic Comments. I don't care about rick roll, and I don't mind offensive language in videos, as long as it isn't aimed at the viewer and is used responsibly. This guy took it too far, and whether it was a troll comment or not, it does not excuse his behavior.

YOUTUBE NEEDS MODERATION!

Hear, hear! iv got a youtube profile and the constant homophobic,racist or otherwise idiotic commenting drives me insane.

Youtube has plenty of good video and community, ITs just the idiots that stand out.

People had faith in Youtube?

Exactly, I don't think the Youtube community has ever been above idiotic levels.

It's one of the areas of the Internet that I'm too frightened to go to, like /b/ or LUE.[/quote]

ok I know of /b/, but what exactly is LUE?

when you receive this message:
80'z muzic iz 4 fagz git a lyfe u fag

Because real men listen to modern songs that have the lyrics wrote/written (I failed English) on the back of a postage stamp. The music is so poorly done you can't tell what instrument is currently playing, it's just a constant thumping noise that repeats every five seconds. Plus the lead singer (and I use the word 'singer' in the loosest sense possible) sounds like he is shouting through his nose.

I love modern music. Especially songs about someone being on a fucking boat or wearing a t-shirt or kissing a girl for publicity.

If they ever create the technology to clone people for the love of GOD PLEASE bring back Freddie Mercury so we can get back to good music.

if you're going to quote me at least quote the whole thing so as not to give a false impression as to what i meant. i love old music and was commenting on the irritating habit some people have of berating people for listening to it above mdern songs. what makes it all the more grating is that the guy who sent me the message had nothing but jonas brothers vids on his favourites.
i also take exception to people who berate me for also liking new music, if its good its good and some modern music is very good

Call me cynical, but my first thought was 'Hey, hes linked the video, I know its a rickroll, but I dont want to be rickrolled, so no way am I going to click it. This is all an elaborate use of reverse psychology in order to rickroll me!'. I need help.

 

[littlelacysurprisepageant]

It's just what I would expect from the YouTube community. As long as we don't get that kind of crap here, I'm not that bothered by it.

 

[slevin8989]

I lost faith in youtube when that Fred guy got on

 

[Socken]

What? Youtube has a community?

Seriously though, look at ANY video with more than, say, 2000 views (especially music videos) and you'll see some douchebag insulting absolutely bloody everything just for the sake of trolling. Youtube's "community" is nothing more than an opportunity for complete imbeciles to act like they're the Man in front of a large audience.

 

[Neonbob]

Wait...you have only NOW lost faith in youtube's collection of retards, illiterate racists, 11-year-old brats with mouths, and other assorted ass-hattery? Wow...you have a much greater tolerance for idiocy than I do. I lost all faith in that community the first time I saw more than one comment on a video...which was the first time!
