YouTube adventures -73- People keep bothering me with spam

Do you have a YouTube channel? Do people keep bothering you with spam? If so then you probably know how annoying that can be. I guess it's the risk of having a YouTube channel, apparently it attracts people that like to bother you with spam. What's worse is that it's not something that happens once every week, in the last two weeks I've gotten twelve spam messages. That's almost one every day. Yeah, great fun...

Spam attack!

 You know what's funny about the spam message? The person sending you the spam message says it's not a spam message in the spam message. Yeah that's like spamception or something like that. Another thing I noticed is how they use my online name in the message, as if it was personally typed for me. Eventhough it feels strongly like it's one in a million, especially the way it's typed. You know what's also weird? That every spam message is supposedly from a girl, at least that's who the person sending me the spam message claims to be. Now I'm not saying that it's impossible for a girl to send me a message but if every message is the same type of spam message and clearly just wants me to follow him or her on instagram or whatever social media bullshit then I can't help but get the idea that this is either a dude pretending to be a girl for some lame reason I don't even care about or some girl that is in desperate need of attention. Either way I don't care!

Do you know how I know it's spam? Because YouTube already recognizes it as spam, because every message I get is pretty much the same which comes with a request to follow someone on social media or subscribe to someones channel. The structure of these messages is so similar that I get the idea that they might be from the same person using different accounts. Which only makes me believe more that the person isn't who he or she claims to be.

The funny thing is that they say my videos are so great, honestly if you've seen my videos then that's not what you would say, and yet they never like the video. I mean if my videos are so great then why not like them? I wouldn't ask for a like but honestly if the video is so amazing then why wouldn't you like it? I like videos that I enjoy watching, so why isn't this person liking the video? Oh right they don't actually watch the video, it's just some idiot wasting my time with spam!

How do you handle spam? Oh that's pretty simple, just ignore. I'm not saying it goes away but you shouldn't let that bother you. It's just some lame douchebag who has nothing better to do with his or her life. So why be bothered by that? Of course you could block the spam and I think YouTube also helps you with that, but if something gets through then it's very easy to ignore it. If someone wants to waste his or her time with sending spam is their business, but I won't let it waste my time so I'll just ignore it.

Button bashing

It seems that more and more games want you to smash on the buttons of the controller, which seems like fun but knowing that this weak piece of plastic can´t handle much it´s not the smartest way to handle your controller. In the good old arcade days I could smash on buttons, ok nothing too crazy but at least those machines had a lot more resilience than these weak controllers we have now. You have to pay a small fortune for one of them and they fall apart with the slightest bit of force you use. After smashing a couple of controllers out of frustration I learned to be careful with them, but when games force you to be an agressive button basher it doesn´t really help. Button bashing is nothing new but I do seem to see it in more and more games, even games that could easily do without this abusive way of treating your controller. Instead of button bashing people came up with the idea to press a certain series of buttons in a sequence, I first saw this in God of War which was fun. But s...

Movie Monday: Mr & Mrs Smith

There are movie that might not look good at first, when you hear about it, but once you see the movie then you know that it's a fantastic movie. What really made Mr & Mrs Smith so good was the acting of the two main stars in the movie, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They had so much fun making this movie that it's an absolute joy to watch the movie. Which is good news for people that are looking for a fun movie to watch! Married to a spy? The story of Mr & Mrs Smith is pretty simple, a man is a spy and marries to a woman not knowing that she's a spy too. Apparently both of them are unaware of eachothers activities until their paths cross in their spy life, which leads to a lot of fighting and explosions. It's really not the action that makes this movie so much fun to watch but it's the humour. Mr & Mrs Smith is the type of movie that shows that a movie can be ten times better when the actors are actually enjoying themselves making this movie, instead ...

Sinful Sunday: Why are you so serious?

When I play a game I don't want to be serious, I just want to have fun and relax. Honestly real life is serious enough and I don't need that in games. Who cares who wins or who loses, just have fun and that already makes it great! Unfortunately there are gamers that take certain games way too serious, so serious that they literally forget to have fun which is quite frustrating to deal with. These kind of players are so serious that they probably left the fun behind when they started the game. Sigh... Serious gamers are lame gamers? There is nothing wrong about being serious, but I think there is a time and a place for everything. When I play a game with my friends then I'm not being serious nor am I serious when I start up some random multiplayer match. Sure it's nice to win but it's not everything! Things become more serious when there is something at stake, for example in ranked matches or during a tournament. I understand that things are more serious there an...
