I keep making the mistake of reading the comments on YouTube videos.
There used to be about 25% bonehead comments. People saying "UR Stoopid" or "This guy should kill himself." Then it was around 50%, with more and more armchair experts posting comments on how a world champion of their game could "do it better." There's the guys who go on every video with music and call it "emo fag &^*&*&%$#%#$%." Those guys are winners. Now it seems to be up to about 99% cyber-bullies and armchair critics, and you only occasionally see someone trying to inject something constructive and then they get torn apart for it. Well, *** it. I have no interest in getting sucked into that kind of bullcrap any more. So I am publically stating my intention to completely refrain from any negative comments on YouTube videos from now on. I hope I can be better than that. That's the goal. If I don't have nothin' nice to say, I won't say nothin' at all. Anyone else who wants to sign onto this pledge with me is more than welcome.

I've never made any comment on YouTube but if someone asked for a critique and I chose to respond I suppose I would strive to be positively honest.
I don't think I would ever comment on a Magical performance in a public forum. I just don't want to share Magical considerations of performance and style, let alone technique, with the public. -Mary Mowder |

Yeah, contructive criticism if asked for is not included. I'm talking more about this kind of stuff:
" I'm not being racist I'm being patriotic, if they were any other race id say the same thing, I have white friends, if I were racist id tell all white people to go and die." Actual comment. and "And This is a wrong moviment!!!" On a video made by credible experts. "ild like to rope the idiots who do this and smash the **** outa there faces !" Another actual comment. That kind of stuff. I don't want to say that kind of stuff. And these are the tame ones. I'm not telling anyone else they have to go along with me, but if anybody wants to then cool. It's just something I need to get away from.

I read them back when people had actual constructive things to say. On some videos someone would give more detailed information below or a different viewpoint in a constructive way. So I got in the habit of reading those things, but then the negative ones multiplied until they took over. So now I have to shake the habit.

Being 14 and sexually frustrated makes a chap somewhat unpleasant. Console yourself with the thought that each of them will at some point speak to someone that way in real life, and lose their teeth.

Youtube is a love/hate relationship for me. I get to share my work with friends I cant session with from other locations, see other talents and see the pros with performing their old and new effects.
Those negative comments of that nature are made by people who are really sad and pathetic to me really. They are grumps, bully's, haters etc. who are just sad people. It takes a lot of courage to post your work knowing that it will get its praise and be attacked. It's very easy to be like this behind a computer but most of them don't have the guts to say somthing like that to your face. |
