Blog:My rant on YouTube Comments

Hey guys, I felt like ranting today about YouTube comments.

Why I hate them
Because every fucking time I go on a video by Chills, Top5s, or other scary countdown channels, you can bet your ass that most of the comment section is flooded with unfunny, original comments like: Nobody: Not even a single soul: comments, comments that spam dead memes like "Burger King Foot Lettuce" and stupid mock memes similar to it, comments that joke about a scary noise, ghost sighting footage, scary creatures, and other things like that, by saying "it's just my mom on her period, hur dur durrr", or "The scariest thing ever is when your phone is about to die and you can't find a charger, LOL", etc. Comments like these aren't funny, since they just completely ruin the tone and mood of the video! Like, I want to watch videos about spooky things like ghosts, mysterious creatures, found footage tapes and other creepy things, and what do I get in the comments? Morons ruining it by making stupid jokes about their phone dying, their mom, their teacher, etc. And what's worse is the comments that overuse emojis, or use ALL CAPS LIKE THIS CUZ THIS IS TOTALLY FUCKING NORMAL RIGHT? And the saddest part is these unfunny and unoriginal comments get thousands of likes, whereas comments from people discussing things about the paranormal footage, creatures, sounds, or their experiences and stories of spooky or paranormal things happening, get little likes, or no likes at all, and are usually buried under the sea of unoriginal comments, so you have to go searching until you find some good comments. This has also happened to other YouTubers I watch which include blameitonjorge, Mr. Nightmare, and YouTubers that don't do spooky content. Now, I get that this happens a lot on social media platforms, but it happens a lot on YouTube.

Sometimes these comments make fecal jokes, which is just disgusting, especially since I have a fear of feces, and hearing about them makes me feel grossed out or sick. But the thing that really pisses me off is the ones that say "Quiet kids are school shooters" or "Autism and Aspies amirite? Lol!". Like seriously, quiet kids already get bullied enough and are forced to be social even when they don't want to be, so joking about them being fucking psychopaths could really damage their self-esteem and confidence. And as for the comments that mock autism and Asperger's, these comments are ableist towards anyone with Autism or Asperger's. I have Asperger's myself, and I don't like these seeing these comments since they make having Asperger's and Autism seem like mental retardation, which is not true, obviously. These commenters probably think they're so edgy for mocking quiet kids, Autistic people and Aspies (I am not trying to use the term "Aspies" as an insult in this context). These are the same type of people who then go "LOL IT'S JUST A JOKE SNOWFLAKE CHILL OUT DONT GET TRIGGERED". Yeah, that defense always works until someone commits suicide because of your joke. Just because you can make these jokes, doesn't mean you won't face consequences for it, something these idiots don't realize.

Another thing that annoys me is half the time, it seems like people share each opinion. I don't mean simply agreeing with something someone says and having another view that is part of their opinion, I mean they follow every point or thing everyone shares in their opinion, like a fucking hive-mind! It's so creepy, because it's like none of these people have some of their own viewpoints that make up their opinions or points they make to why they agree, it's just "I agree because what they said". I know sometimes people may agree because of coincidence, but most of the time it seems like people just blindly agree just because.

The most fucking annoying one though is the "My reaction to x" or "When you x" comments. Most of the time these stupid as fuck comments appear on clips of cartoon episodes where the character in question is giving a negative, positive, neutral or other type of reaction or emotion. Sometimes they also appear on scary or dramatic music videos, or even videos of cheerful and upbeat music. Don't believe me? Just go look up a cartoon character or any character for that matter saying "NO", or look up Kevin MacLeod's "The House of Leaves" and count how many comments that say stuff like "My reaction to Teen Titans Go!", "My reaction to the Sonic movie Trailer", "When your mom checks your laptop/phone", etc. I can guarantee you that these comments take up almost the entire fucking comment section! Any good comments made about the reaction the character gives, and the delivery of it, or how the music in general sounds, their thoughts and opinions on the music or character's reaction or where they heard it from, those comments are so hard to fucking find due to how all those idiotic "My reaction/When you" comments take up the majority of the comment section! I know I might be overexaggerating about the amount of these comments and good comments, but I'm really fucking sick of this shit! For once, all I fucking want is to see a comment section that isn't repeating the same stale tired formats such as "My reaction", "When you/the" "Nobody: Not a single soul:", etc. I wanna see people giving opinions on the videos, discussions, debates, and things like that, not the same tired, copy-pasted, generic, unfunny, and unoriginal memes spouted over and over. These comments remind me of Vine memes, and Vine memes weren't that funny and were very unoriginal, but at least Vine gave us people like Zach King, whereas these YouTube comments do none of that!

Well, there was my rant. And before I go, if you like some of these comments or find them funny, that's fine. This was just my rant and frustrations towards YouTube comments I hate, or don't find funny.
