Here is a song that someone made on the subject of Youtube comment arguments.



There is nothing as pointless and puerile as hate comments on Youtube. The comments in response to songs are overtaken by remarks such as “OMGZ like this song suxs any1 who likes this band is a *//insert derogatory insult here//*” or “This is soooo gay the bands old songs are waaaayyyy better. If you like this you aint a true fan.” Do those imbeciles stop to think about how it is their choice to click on the video? By getting into page after page of arguments over how the video is not even worth their time they accomplish nothing, except giving the video even more of their ever so precious thought, or lack thereof.

Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth. ~ Oscar Wilde. That blank gray comment box is the ultimate mask. The internet makes it possible for anyone to speak their mind. With such freedom and virtually no consequences Youtubers go as far as to hope for the others sudden and violent demise. A few minute video can ignites the short fuse of many spineless creatures who do not know how to think before they talk, or in this case type. Racial slurs and vulgar name-calling run rampant among many videos of Youtube. It makes me lose hope in society.

 Comments can be made anonymously but that does not mean people should start insulting each other left right and sideways! A comments section should be used for constructive criticism, not to tear down other users when they disagree with your opinion.
