I've stopped using Utube:

Now i remember why i came to this site! Its because of all the assinine, immature comments posted by people on her vidoes! DAM - I have almost stopped using Utube because the level of immaturity is SOOOO off the charts.

I must seriously be getting old, but it really grieves me to see all the negative, sexist and nationalist comments on someone's work. I have looked today at Natasha St. Pierre, Alizée and Jenifer - all of them, at some point or another degenerate down to name calling, or flat out "Francophobia".... Disgusting. I really am beginning to believe that maybe there should be age limits or something (JK! I know that would never fly!).....

anyway - thanks for letting me vent a little bit. . . .

just remember, 99% of those people are under 16 yrs old. And as with everything in life, the most vocal people are usually the biggest jerks anyway.

That's very true unfortunately. Some kind of mental age detection should be implemented

We gotta get together and develop some sort of "maturity detection system" to screen posters, like they use for height at amusment parks.

"You must be THIS mature, to post about this video."

That would end up screening out a surprising number of so-called adults, as well as a large of script-kiddies.

LOL

good one Cooney. screw freedom of speech!!

It would help if the person who uploaded the video would remove the bad comments, something that no doubt would take some effort the more popular the video becomes, but users can be blocked from commenting and prevent them from posting again, at least with that account. But I usually just don't bother reading the comments because it is usually just a waste of time, because most people don't bother moderating the comments posted on their uploaded videos. I am all for free speech but most of the comments are just a waste of bandwidth.

yeah same here Twitch. i usually never read the comments on youtube. i do, however, read the comments on digg.com. they can be just as immature as the people on youtube. the only reason i read those comments is to maybe get more information on the story or video that i just looked at.

as long as there's an internet where people can bitch and moan and make innappropriate comments about a video they dont like, there's always gonna be just that. there's practically no way to stop it.

The other reason i came here (besides Lili, of course) are the humorous people/comments that help me put it all in perspective!

"You must be THIS mature, to post about this video."

I can just see an imaginary yardstick next to each computer . . . .
