Youtube comments, it´s a popularity contest?
I don´t have many good things to say about youtube comments, often they´re just a waste of time and I wouldn´t recommend people to read them. Especially not when these comments are under a movie trailer or game trailer video, if people don´t spoil something then it´s often a lot of negativity to fill an ocean with! But now it´s also full of attention whores, people that have this need to get likes and often do get a lot of likes for no real reason. Strange you say? No they´re youtube comments, so don´t expect anything smart and you will not be disappointed!
Asking for likes? This is nothing new, people that want to get likes for their comment and will even ask for them in the comment itself. These comments aren´t always a succes, most times people will respond negative towards these requests and are often banned to the bottom of the youtube comment section. But now you have douchebags that have no life, they appear on almost every populair game and/or movie youtube channel. Eventhough the comment itself is often some stupid remark a lot of people do feel the need to give that comment a lot of likes. Why? Oh if only someone knew, but then again these are youtube comments so please don´t look for logic because that has left that site many years ago!
People that comment a lot of youtube don´t have a life? It´s easy to say that and maybe it´s true, but it´s not nice to judge someone you don´t know. Eventhough it might feel good to tell these people to get lost every now and then, because seeing the same people with their hundred likes (if not more) in almost every populair game and/or movie comment section is annoying to say the least. I do get the feeling that there might be some foul play at work there, where they have multiple accounts and like their own comment to get it noticed. Somehow a lot of other people also jump on board of the stupid train and join in on the likes. Why? It´s youtube, good grief if you still wonder why people do or say stupid things in the youtube comments then clearly you´re wasting your time because it just doesn´t make sense!
What are you complaining about, you don´t have to read the comments? It´s true, I don´t have to read anything and I wouldn´t in most cases. But sometimes there is this rare valuable comment that actually gives you some information. For example I read in a comment once that a game didn´t have a splitscreen and that saved me the trouble of finding out if I bought that game, which made that youtube comment very helpful to me! Unfortunately this populair douchebags with their attention whore behaviour seem to take up a lot of space now in the youtube comments and that makes the useful comments even less likely to appear in the first couple of pages. So please don´t support attention whores, people like that usually have a reason to do things like that and it´s often not something positive! I don´t expect the youtube comments to ever be douchebag free but it would be nice that some helpful comments still appear without having to browse through hundreds of pages with annoying comments.
