"Everytime i hear this i think of being in the drive thru bcuz its sounds like they are saying ( Pull up Asshole) in the background" (what someone posted on the Sophie B. Hawkins song, "As I Lay Me Down to Sleep"). I literally have tears in my eyes from laughing so hard. This is why they shouldn't disable YouTube comments. Too funny!

I used to think the background singers were singing "I love tacos".

While I agree that a lot of the comments are attention seeking and hurtful, there are some positive comments too. For example, make-up tutorials. It allows the viewer to ask questions about the products being used or about a technique. Being able to ask questions is also helpful when the channel is speaking of their own personal experiences with things such as surgery, medical conditions, depression, weight loss/gain, etc. It would be hard to personally message everyone that asks questions. I think the owner of the channel should use their delete button more often.

YouTube is a social network. It's no different than Facebook, Twitter, MySpace or even prince.org. You can complain as much as possible but assholes are going to open new accounts and start over.

A couple of other people on You Tube said the same thing.

When you post a vid, you have the option of enabling or disabling comments.

Let the owner decide, not YouTube.

Sounds like a conspiracy to me, 2freaky4church!

I never read the comments I just go there to watch videos.

I use umplayer so I don't get them. Minitube is another option.

I am another one that doesn't even try and read the comments. I just go from video to video. I am the same way with the radio, the less commentary the better. I have absolutely no appreciation for the art of talk radio.
