Wow YouTube is rich with some moody viewers 😳 Has anyone ever responded to a video and had wrath of keyboard warrior ascending upon them 🧐 ?

[SjE78]

not just on youtube but on Facebook and oddly enough if i recall correctly even on here too, the one's on facebook and youtube though (as there have been a few instances) it seems like you cannot have an opinion on anything these days...
comment about a fandom and just simply say, you didn't like something personally even if you have your reasons why listed... you are instantly attacked and bullied by people claiming you are racist, misogynistic, homophobic, not a real fan... funny thing is for many years i've been a fan of Trek and Dr Who, and a multitude of other shows and franchises, but since the new Dr (Whittaker) came on their episodes feel more full of PC crap and only have some good stories... and she tries to be Tennant and not shape her outing in her own image... but the level of toxicity that you get in response is a serious issue...
Star Trek, used to be about acceptance and unity, about welcoming all things different and bettering our selves... Discovery put this to one side and the STD fans hate on anyone and everyone who dares criticise, teh showrunners dont help matters by encouraging their fans that anyone who doesn't like it should be driven out... it has divided the fanbase...
Political vids/views also... our government in the UK (the Tories) a vile example of the worst of the worst... they hate the poor, the working classes and the disabled... they hate the elderly and they are more corrupt than any corrupt dictatorship can be, and often worse... make a statement about them and you get accosted by bands of pro Tory bullies, even when you push the truth of why and have a floorless argument, these bullies take it to the extremes...
and the funny thing is they are supporting a bumbling buffoon who has been outted as a confirmed liar on so many occasions, even in his previous job, a buffoon who hid in a damned fridge to avoid interviewers who asked him questions he knew would prove his lies when he answered...

same goes for the current opposition leader too... who is shockingly pointless in my opinion, the same leader who along with a few rebels sabotaged the last leadership from winning by siding with the Tories... so since then we have a useless government, who hates the people... steals from our tax money, refuses to give kids a chance of survival, denies much needed pay rise to NHS staff and breaks the laws as if he's just having a normal day...

Yeah sure. I was probably also the keyboard warrior myself in the past. I don't have any trouble with anyone who hates on me online it's so insignificant to me. It hasn't really happened to me in quite a while though, maybe people can just tell that I don't care so they don't even try.

Most people only read the first comment and not the others so it's not that they won't stop they didn't even read your explanation.

The only thing that has bothered me recently is reddit, it's such a weird system and so unpredictable. I like making stupid jokes sometimes and on reddit it's very risky often I just go for it anyway but reddit forces you to conform way more than any other place in my opinion. Because of the upvote downvote system and the way each subreddit has their own ideas of what's acceptable and what isn't, you can't relax. I like skirting around the edges and being a bit polarising and controversial, I like to test out the limits. But on reddit I feel like everyone is waiting to judge.

In a way I think it can help me understand the "mainstream" mindset more but I also find it very restrictive.

Yup but I can’t remember the details of it but when I was like 14-15 I believed in Islam and I commented on a video about Dominican muslims and someone I think said no wonder I was so ugly lol I guess that’s the closest. On here though I’ve had men stalk me just to say mean things to me but I just block them and don’t care as much

[Anonymous]

Absolutely
There's no diversity on YouTube.. People will attack you, if you express an unpopular opinion that disagrees with the majority, even if it's done in a polite way with well-founded arguments.
That's why I never comment there, it's a waste of time

[Jjpayne]

I assume YouTube has a lot of opinions for sure. And you have to understand that they are there for a reason, they clearly want to make their voice known, a pretty blatant way.

So you have go into it knowing that they already are passionate in their views.

I know talking to my roommate that he is a trump supporter and my brother is very emotionally anti-trump.

I am assuming there are a lot of videos out there like that now

[MrCommodore]

Yeah it happened to me a few times.
I actually found that people with either extreme left wing or extreme right wing views to be quite similar, in that they can't cope with dissenting views or opinions.

They don't seem to realise that honest debate is healthy.

[wankiam]

i responded to jim davidson telling us all that blm was a pointless movement. i pointed out that it was his racist stereotyping during the 70s and 80s that had help reinforce the very need for blm to exist and got thousands of likes which he must have noticed so sometimes it pays to be salty... others though do just love to troll, whatever media platform they choose

[blondfrog]

Yeah it can be bad. By the way what did you say about that youtube monetizing video question? I never got to read your response.
With youtube though at least they can get removed if you report them usually if its bad enough they get removed themselves. It is nice though that here it gets more policed. Truth is everyone on youtube is an expert. Just find me a video with 50,000 views without a dislike... its impossible.

[JackSmy]

I'm really trying to stay away from DRAMA, and CRAP, on social media!!
I like YouTube for specific things, like how to fix something, or some reviews, or my Favorite: Uncle Roger!! LOL! Funny parody videos!!

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I always leave positive comments on YouTube Videos, I had someone respond to my comment and say something nasty cause back in 2015 I supported Hillary Clinton so I removed my comment that was positive and reported theirs to YouTube, Yes it's sad people can't leave positive comments and be nicer

[SuccessfulHornDog]

I haven't really experienced that on YouTube but if the video was related to any of the following then I wouldn't be surprised because people are riled up and sick of the other side:

• Politics/Election
• SJW/Woke topics
• LGBTQ/Transgender
• Feminism
• Abortion/Choice/Life

That's why people across the spectrum are predicting a real civil war. People have had enough and are willing to fight each other over these things

[Jamie05rhs]

Anonymity allows people to hate freely and with no shame. When you're in a community of people you know, everyone is much more likely to make an effort to be courteous and understanding and to debate and discuss civilly.

I think the YouTube comment section is known for being an absolute cesspit perhaps one step above the chans, but stupider and with more 10-15 year olds.

[humanearth]

I have not had a youtube account since Google bought them. Once google bought them. Youtube is dead to me

[ravagesavage]

STFU U DON'T KNOW ANYTHING KID! You are a narcissist... Y-y-you got a personality disorder, do you know that? ⌨️

[007kingifrit]

you know i don't actually get youtube notifacations anymore even though i go back to a video and see people did respond to me, is anyone else seeing that?

[LEADFOOTboi]

yup, wholy damn... the youtube comment section is what i call the MONSTER SECTION... cuz most of them ain't people commenting on videos

[Tstrbrainer]

I've never commented on you tube.
But I know there are a lot of sick people there.

So did you commented on the videos of BTS? 😂

[TallAnon]

Youtube is notorious for its bad comment section, people just fire away insults and never look back.

[scooogy]

Unless it's about some important info (I sometimes watch video about legal advices) or music videos, I feel like those videos are like the ones on TikTok.

[douride2]

I rarely leave comments there so it hasn't happened. Yet?

[iFarted]

The internet brings out the worst in a lot of people. Apparently, they feel like its a safe space to be pieces of shits too.

[Philyouup]

hiding behind keyboards makes for some pretty big balls. empty of course, but big looking.

[Paulychicago10]

Of course, but then I ignore them, same as here. I can't tolerate stupidity.

[spartan55]

Not on YouTube, but I get plenty of that here.

[COMMODOREII]

What video did you watch? 😮

[AmeerX]

I get that a lot on FB and YouTube comments 😂.

[Syrian_survivor]

What kind of comments did you post?

[Likes2drive]

No not yet but I don’t leave comments very often

[pizzalovershouse]

Nope I don't respond to any oe there

[Iron_Man]

I’ve had keyboard fights all over the world

[crmoore]

More than once, lol

[KrakenAttackin]

What was your comment that brought this wrath?

[888theGreat]

Defending Trump, about like here

[Cryptic-Game]

I don't recall replying to a YouTube video.

[Waz2020]

Happens here too
