I. Hate. Youtube. Comments.

I have hated them forever. It's the one thing I can't wrap my fucking head
around. How hard is it for a company valued at billions of dollars to hire
some MODERATORS? I hate the stupid Digg-like approach of voting up and down
comments by users. While that usually filters out ad spam and exceptionally
racist or stupid comments, it is not enough. I'm not saying that I want
MetaFilter-esque short essays on a fucking Chris Crocker vid, but I crave some
semblance of order.

Bah, I'm probably in the minority on this one.

gahahaha
I don't know, but YouTube probably can't hire moderators for the comments,
because then they would implicitly acknowledge that they CAN moderate stuff,
and thereby open themselves up for lawsuits about posting copyrighted
material.
