Youtube etiquette

[Hagi]

I guess you could call it etiquette....

There certainly seem to be some form of unspoken rules as to what type of insult is warranted by what type of video. You can't just call any video gay without repercussions, some videos really are more homosexual apparently...

And care is taken with the feelings of others. Comments certainly seem to have been made with extraordinary care to ensure that no matter who you are there's something there that insults you.

So yeah... I guess theoretically it fulfills the definition of etiquette....

I hate people that steal other people's videos without asking or giving them the credit they deserve for their videos and instead have the links to watch the full video go directly to their shitty website instead of the original video.

We all know who im talking about..

I also hate when people overuse caption boxes and such or when people have their full video screen a link bo to their subscriptions.

Also rick roll videos and "Im right because I have more subscribers!"

Anything that involves someone talking into a camera with cuts all over the place. If you aren't good enough to talk for more than 5 seconds at a time, don't vlog.

Also that.

I hate....

? People who records another youtube video with their camera and post it on youtube
? People who makes videos of interesting stuff like popping cysts, then finding the videowork is too shaky and blurry when its recorded on a phone.
? People/Spamvertisers who makes videos with a picture in the middle, otherwise the video is just a still image.
? People who makes a video with an image in the middle (like that dog being burnt on fire) but in the end, its just some guy gabbering about..something? (turned the sound off, he was trying to scum for subscriptions)
? People who sells out, take one RS video guy for example, he makes Player Killing videos and gains somewhat of a fanbase, then his latest videos is just his face gabbing after 2 adverts for Fanta, expect videos to last longer than 10 mins....
? People who uses random music, swirly effects or whatever, instead of the plain music/unedited graphics of games, seriously, if someone wants to gab over the audio, make a seperate version without voiceovers...


Sorry for the outburst. :x

I really don't mind there being a subscribe button (i do that myself) but what annoys me is when the persons wastes video time to ask me to like, favourite and subscribe. An unobtrusive button is fine. Good. Wasting my time, is not.

People who mirror videos to get the views.

People who pretend to show clips of a TV show but its just a link to another website.

People who put the name of a controversial event in their video title just for the views and barely mention it.

Arrogant lets players. You come across player who just keep bragging about their "amazing skills".

Whenever it comes to any sort of discussion in the comments be prepared for a shedload of strawman arguments. Its just ridiculous.

The people who say partners should "get real jobs".



The one thing that annoys me the most by far? The jackasses who constantly complain about users selling out, if they put ads on their videos. Im glad they have ads. Im happy that they get some money. Good for them.

I hate it when I see advertisements written in the description bar itself.

What, the prevideo ad, the side advertisement, and spam bots aren't enough, you have to find another place to put them?

 

[zehydra]

I hate when ads take up a third of the video space so I have to close them manually.

 

[AndrewC]

People who ask for subscriptions and likes and your first born child so they can do giveaways, especially that Whiteboy7thst (i think that's right) who just has such an irritating voice.

Videos with badly edited 5 minute intro sequences, people who don't read the description of a video then ask about 500 questions.

"When music was made in the good ol Days "
"i'm 13 and i love this song"
"dear youtubers we will give X the greatest birthday present of all
the most viewed video on youtube"
etc etc etc

Pretty much the haters, trolls, chain mails, asking subscriptions and posting any religon, racisal undertone etc when the video isn't religon etc. I actually fine with people making "insert number" people are hater or the "like" video. Sorry but I don't take side or pity those who dislike e.g. a Rooster Teeth video! (How can you hate it?)
