YouTube Comments: Cesspool of failure

If you're going to watch a music video on YouTube and feel the urge to post about how you hate it, do NOT do it. You are not clever, and you are not being funny. You are, however, being a prick. You may sit there and scratch your head, looking not unlike a monkey in the process, thinking to yourself how it's within your rights to spew the dribble you call an opinion upon the eyes of others. It is, but it boils down to just because you can doesn't mean you should. If it was an opinion of how the music video was shot or produced, how the band is good and how they've progressed since you first heard of them, or that you have just now heard of them and want to let others who like them know you have a good taste in music that's fine. 


It's you idiots who watch a music video for a band you clearly loathe or hate to some degree that sit and watch an entire video for a song that would otherwise cause you to dig your eardrums out with toothpicks that feel the need to post "lulz this vid is teh sux dis band is gay evry1 who leisk them is gey," or, "i liked this band b4 they became mainstream sellout artists." You guys can shut up and go be unproductive in a comment section for a band you do like. 


It's common sense that taste is music is different for everyone. Most courteous people will keep that in mind as they browse YouTube. That statement is, of course, my faith in humanity getting the best of me. I know most of the people surfing the 'tube have the collective IQ of moss. That's being extremely generous as well. Time for the point: If you're going to watch a video for a song you clearly despise, please do everyone a favor and do not piss your comment into the retinas of everyone else who's watching it. As a matter of fact, if the song is going to cause you to have an aneurism of rage don't even click the damn link. Still your hand as you froth at the mouth and instead click the tiny 'x' button on the top right of your browser window and hurl your PC/Mac/Laptop out of a window because if you're stupid enough to watch things you hate just to get mad and act stupid, you are clearly too slow to properly use a computer, let alone the internet, or some type of masochistic lunatic.


*The above post applies for all types of videos on YouTube. The basic premise is this: If you hate what you're about to watch, instead of clicking the link to watch it, fling your computer and/or yourself out the window and save everyone who does like said video from having to read your dribble. It probably would have fried your brain to write anyway.
