You tube comments- what do you think?

I watch alot of piano tutorials in youtube and some times you'll see people commenting how the person making the video isnt any good at teaching and all that ignorant stuff. I have allways lived by the motto, if you dont have anything nice to say, dont say anything. Personaly, I find I have learned more piano / keyboard technique from people that have alot of bad comments than ones with every comment being a praise to thier playing and style. With racism running rampant around the world you will see absive people everywhere, what I'd like to know is how they got to the page without searching for it, were they just looking for people to harrass or were they looking for something they liked. saw a similar vid by somebody they didnt like and go to it just to comment?? It's really just stupid and pointless to throw negative coments on youtube , is really serves no purpose other than to show the world your ignorance and predjudace.

I have thought the very same thing. And YES decency matters. Those who post these kinds of comments are showing just how ignorant they are. I mean that literally...they do not have sense...they know very little and must express themselves in a base manner. I do not always agree with the videos or ideas expressed in them and often say so. But I give reasons and do so in an intelligent manner. I think that this problem is one indicator of the decay of society.

I think that's ridiculous. The comments that people post on these things are so rude, abrasive, and just generally uncalled for. I think that there should be an "abuse" button on youtube, and if you "abuse" a certain number of times, your account should be deleted. I think it has to hurt the person who posted the video when people act like idiots.

I agree with the comments, most of them are hateful, filthy, racist, xenophobic, comments. I wish there were more youtube moderators to ban those trolls, and make youtube a better place for everyone.

Of course! I am one of these persons who still think that the decency matters a lot (even online).I wonder what could happen if everybody starts acting like if they were in a lawless land when they are online.I think everything we need is just a bit of respect to the people of another countries.why? because I ve seen people getting insulted on YouTube because they write in spanish,japanese or anyother language

Yes there are lots of abusive and nasty comments being posted on youtube videos. Not just youtube but there are lots of other sites where there are such comments being posted. The true nature of people and what is in their mind reflects on such sites. They do not have guts to say even 25% in reality of what they say on such sites. Sometimes one cannot avoid the temptation of replying back to their nasty comments in the same manner.

i wonder why my post don't get published. i keep posting but after few days it is not yet posted. i do post decently . i don't insult any people. and all i say are good comments. but those negative comments are all posted every where in that site.

It is unpleasant and sometimes, from a third person's point of view, it's quite amusing :D I think YouTube is simply giving its members the liberty to express themselves in any manner that they could. They're not there to police our reactions, they're simply giving us a chance to post a video, share it and be subject to the comments of the rest of the world. If somebody didn't want any harsh comments on his/her video, why post it for public viewing? It's not a critique group, it's YouTube! Thanks for the response on my discussion :)

Sadly, that's the reason why i gave my account away because i just can't stand stupid and hate comments like that.I think Anonymously in youtube is the reason why such comments exist, i mean even though the person is deleted, he/she can still create a new account. i heard rumors of people making one or two more accounts in there..True nature of the Human Race is seen on youtube.

I often read the comments and decide whether the video is worth watching or not for all the good videos have nice comments but the bad ones have bad contents mostly with vulgar language.I would like some decency in comments

Sometimes it's fun to watch arguments, because people get so excited and furious towards each other while arguing, they say lot of funny and stupid things. On the other hand, lots of people use foul language, and while the YouTube is a public site, it disturbs me. Many children visit that site, so their little minds are exposed to such dirty language, it's just not right.

I have a youtube account and I post vids of my own there and watch the vids of others. I do read the coments and have made soem coments myself. but I do feel that persons have the right to say what they like but for the porpose of decoum they can be polite and respectfuly of the user or vid they are commenting on. there is no need for explict langage when some more creative words is in order.

Well, I do agree that everyone had the freedom to write what they feel. However, to the point where they use abusive and vulgar language, I do not agree on the use of such languages. Even though you may want to express your opinion, I think you should still respect the others, and not post of such languages. In addition, anyone may be reading these comments, including kids, and I don't really think it's proper for kids to be exposed to such languages. In addition, I also do not like those comments whereby they tell all the interesting parts of the story in their comments. Some people like to read the comments before watching the video and it really takes half the fun and surprise away from viewers.

Its great for one so that he can get a idea of the video before streaming.It is very important from my point of view.

I was wondering too, like why youtube ain't doing anything to filter those comments. But perhaps there are just too many comments to filter with so many videos around on the site. Sometimes I love to watch videos there and just enjoy myself to what is being showcased but I don't understand why some of the commentators fight with one another over some menial remarks or comments. But there are rating buttons besides the comment. I suppose if there are too many negative ratings, the user can be banned from commenting? Perhaps. Otherwise, I wouldn't know what the rating sign there is for.

Abusive comments can be deleted by the uploader of the video, so maybe pm the uploader. Having said that, I do go back to fave videos to read the comments. It's part of the youtube experience.

Yes, i like youtube too, i like to see new videos and old video too...
