I find some of the comments made on youtube hilarious, and a bit shocking, because some of the comments people make there are straight up funny, and there's also tons of rude shocking comments posted under some video walls, and when I see those I'm like yikes! I often wounder why people feel the need to insult and curse on peoples video wall, I'm like wow people are so hostile over the smallest things, and then there's the funny comments that just make me laugh out loud I'm sure some of you have seen those comments too. Do you view comments while browsing youtube? if yes what are your general thoughts on youtube comments do you find them funny shocking or both?

yes, I find myself looking at the comments often. But I am almost usually enraged by the comments... I too, can not believe how rude and insulting these TROLLS can be.. It's like their parents never taught them right from wrong or manners. To think it's ok to curse and swear at people for making a video you do'nt like or for not having the same opinion.. It's ridiculous, some of the thing people say is so vulgar.. for what reason? I just get totally fed up with the human race after reading the comments.. It's no wonder I prefer the company of my animals.

Yeah thats true I never could understand why people think its ok to be a rude online and say nasty things I guess because there anonymous. but antonymous or not I think we should all remember our manners on and offline, and help make online sites a fun relaxing place to chat and learn. Thanks for stopping in keep on lotting.

sometimes comments gives us more security of the quality of the video or whatever we watch. i think that is a good space to fill and share with others around the world, but sometimes people dont use it in the correct way, saying no bad words or things like this, just in a way that all of us would learn more, or just have more fun, but not saying "#$#$%%=)$%&$... have a nice day

Yup I agree commenting on video's can be good and helpful but some people get carried away and take there comments too far, and as long as we keep our comments respectful then its all good. thanks for sharing your thoughts on this subject have fun lotting.

Once in awhile I read the comments that people leave. Usually though I dont. When I first got started on youtube I left more comments then I do now. I really dont care anymore to read what people have to say. If I dont know them I dont care what their opinion is. I like to listen to the music and thats it. I've seen some really nasty comments as well.

I enjoy viewing comments occasionally because some of them are quite amusing and funny, but yeah sometimes I do see a few shockers too those comments I ignor but yeah I do view comments sometimes not all the time though coz I'm watching the video, but if I'm trying to learn more about the video I do view comments and maybe post one of my own but I'm never rude on members walls its just not the way I role haha.

I do look at the comments on youtube and will sometimes leave them myself. I think it is a shame that anyone would be insulting or rude. I think that sometimes there are people that look for reasons to be hostile. Take care.

Hiya apples, Woe is me I only seem to find the Videos which I have watched nasty and very nasty remarks and really bad language too. I have found a few thank yous to the person who put up a really good Video but as for the rest well I prefer not to mention their comments. One comment directly made a reference to the Person´s personal body weight saying "you are too fat" As direct as that yet the Person who put the Video up there well three altogether I think it was had put the Video together really well and it could benefit loads of People it was a health issue. I thought that person extremely rude. Another one I came across yesterday watching a Series well a caption of it saying that the little child was downright ugly. All sorts of things like that just have no Room so now I am seeing Videos being put up with no comments allowed or to be posted they leave no facility. I cannot say that I blame them after all what I am seeing. Has no one a kind word for others at all. They talk about Face book but this is much worse in some cases. Still we are all used to seeing what People write on Toilet Walls so it´s no big thing really nowadays I suppose. Where did you find the good comments?

Well I usually find a mix of good and bad comments on both facebook and youtube. But I must admit most of the bad comments are on youtube, though there are still a few good comment's there too, some are actually funny. I know you might not have found many pleasant comments on youtube, but it could be that the videos you are viewing just happen to attract the more hostile comments. even though I've seen my share of bad comments on youtube as well. I think the type of comments we see there depends on what sort of video's we view for example if your viewing a video with the more controversial subject matter then its more likely you'll see bad or negative comments on that video wall. but if you are watching a more fun less controversial video you'll see more of a mix of good and bad comments. I like to watch tutorials on how to do things such as how to use art software or other computer related video's, and sometimes I like watching videos of my favorite TV shows or films those kind of videos tend to be more relaxing and less antagonizing to watch, and less likely to have a bunch of profanity.

Yes I am. My thought would be comment on the walls are put in their for the sake of fairness and of course some of the up-loader of videos are not uploading good videos. So I think these comments on the wall are fine. If there are foul words I know they have someone checking on it.

No I don't. Simply because a lot of the comments are redundant and some are hate comments.

I likie to check out the comments while i am viewing on youtube. it is interesting to see how people feel. Some comments can seem a bit obnoxious or uncalled for. these are the kind of comments that are better kept to yourself. If it isn't something you want to share with the world, it shouldn't be posted.

I did happen to watch some of the comments on some videos that i was watching...they were shocking...what is with these guys to post such coments...it is in a bad taste...even youtube should have some kind of restrictions atleast on the comments...just like our own mylot has..if the video is bad than one can understand but even for some really good videos, bad comments should not be there..there has to be some kind of restriction.

I do sometimes read those comments. Well, there are various comments there, as you said, there are funny comments, sometimes insulting others, and many other comments. But usually it depends on the video related to the comments. When it comes on something general, I found its not too many rude comments. But when the video were about something risky, then there is big chance to lure many rude comments, and even sometime it seems like there is a war over there.

Sometimes I watch videos on youtube which are full of abusive and cheap comments.Even if a person is not liking anything or any content such vulgar language should not be used.I feel like quitting the video because of those unwanted comments.

i haven't watched youtube in a long time but i mostly watch movie trailers and comedian acts. i often read the comments to see what other people think about the video and most of the comments are "can't wait for it to appear" or "that was really great". i skip the rude comments. not really interested in them.

Hello apples, Yes i do enjoy reading the youtube comments, i find most of them are quite funny! Mostly those with the highest thumbs up rating. And then you also have some rude comments, which i don't understand why some people have to let out on youtube walls and video comments. I was a victim of one such incident and i was shocked because all i did was i agree with her and she turned out to be i don't know offended! She wrote very mean things on my channel, and that made me feel angry, she thought i was a very sensitive person but to hell with that, i have a big mouth myself! After i wrote her back on her channel, she never dared to reply to me, good for her! I am annoyed of such people who take offense or make rude comments on others, probably a bunch of online youtube bullies who think others like her just because her channel was famous. Doesn't matter to me who you are, but if that is what you think about yourself, a youtube queen, let me sugarcoat you baby!!!! oh i am sorry i am kinda sounding too absurd here. Anyways... I don't comment on others videos much, but i like to go through the comments. Some are so hilarious! :D

i will never look to the comment while browsing you tube.... i think this not a good thing to know about what the others think about a thing before we are watching it.... so if you want to see the comments of others .. then it is better to see that after watching........
