You guys are taking the comment section of Youtube WAY too seriously. :lol:

You could always comment back that, if the critic is that sure it's bad, maybe he could star in a snuff film to show how it *should* be done? ;-)

Many years ago I tried the whole YT video thing. Most of it was fun. But I did have several haters that were actually funny. One of which actually commented that looking into my eyes was like gazing into the abyss! :lol: :lol: . Yep the good ol days indeed!

Some (well, ten) years ago I used to type "stuck in quicksand" and similar things in Google (or other search engines) and then I unhurriedly watched dozen of pages reading scary news reports or clever wannabe scientific papers explaining that quicksand can't kill you. However, the vast majority of the search results were irrelevant to our interest - the "Q" word was used figuratively there.

Now I do the same, and oh shit... Yes, I do understand that Google uses my browsing history etc., but it is hard to get bigger disappointment. 95% of the search results are stories, pictures, and videos from our community. Including my own pictures on the first page.

Yeah they are and I just leave it at that. Some just like to make noise, bored kids, etc. Many are simple idiots. Youtube appears to be where the most moron of all humanity converges to spout their brilliance. I'm convinced if we killed off the top ten percent of YouTube comment posters it would dramatically raise the collective I.Q. of humanity. They are just howling barn cats. Pay them no mind.


I love this quote! I'm borrowing this...

One thing I've noticed is those who say the more negative things on a subject are the one that understand it the least.
