Who hates YouTube comments???
Updoots to the left
Who’s reading this post in 1895? Because I accidentally dropped my phone while time traveling.
My AI girlfriend just dictated your post me to in 2049
All the best food is penis shaped. Hot dogs, popsicles, dicktaters.
Most yt comments are mildly infuriating and bring nothing to the table.
I love scrolling through the nuthouse that is YouTube comments, it’s always so unhinged.
I almost wrote this post that way but decided that was too general, but you’re right of course.
On this video, there were two more asking the same question.
FIRST!
NOOOO! I’m first.

I bet OP won’t pin my comment
Charlie says my music is better!
Correct.
Not even first. Lol
But this was the other comment I was looking for that’s absolutely a waste of space.
Who’s reading this in 2024?!
I’m reading this in 2025 /s
Checking in from 2026!
Now someone will really comment on it in 10 years and I will receive notification
Greetings from 1910.

Who’s reading this Lemmy post in 2025?
1920x1200 still.
Not me. I’m reading this Lemmy post in browser.
Ew. Who reads YouTube comments anyway?
I occasionally will on low traffic how-to or informational videos, because sometimes someone else will post additional useful details or corrections.
I don’t think anyone is commenting “Who else is listening in February 2024?!” on Practical Engineering videos about how fish swim through turbines.
That isn’t what you initially asked!
Who’s still utilizing YouTube comments in 2024???
utilizing
This is an added bonus. When people use the big words for no reason (or rhyme, dawg), I can only hear it in a Mike Tyson lithp.
“utilithing”
Utili-tizing (i’ve heard this word spoken more than once and I’m still recovering)
Utilizing is a big word for you?
Prolly bots right? I really don’t think there are so many actual people in the world who think about commenting that.
I bet 50 these comments will disappear when LLMs become cheap af to run en masse so bots can be more realistic and varied.
Or kids. Most probably kids.
50
why not 5000? I think we may be in for a spot of trouble.
Even worse are the comments on old songs, any culture, any language. You’ll always have comments like “I am 13 and I love this music! Modern music bad!”. It really sucks the joy out of listening to those songs.
hyprland pfp!
True
The good news is, you don’t need your eyes for listening
Once I see them, it just does something to me.
That sounds like a thinly veiled threat…
Now you tell me. I’ve been putting my headphones on my eyes for years and wondering why I couldn’t hear anything.
I solve this by never looking at comments.
There was a browser extension they replaced all the words in yt comments with “bla”. Pretty great stuff.
Plenty of opposites too.
“I am 47 and discovered this thanks to my kids. Not all old people reject modern music”
The chorus of: “I’m <insert some usually made up age> and <some asinine comment>”
I find more obnoxious than the “who’s watching/listening in <bla blah>” comments.
Broadly speaking I don’t bother looking at comments on youtube, the signal to noise ratio is on the floor.
Its always the music that’s 10 years old
It really sucks the joy out of listening to those songs.
Does it tho?
Really?
Why are you so mentally invested in that song and other people’s opinions of it?
Some people are irrationally angry at everything that anyone young does or likes, because deep down it reminds them of their own mortality and the short span of time we are actually allocated to live life.
Plot twist, the sing came out 5 years ago
CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW MR. CRABS?
0:07 “Who’s listening in 2024" lol
0:09 “who’s still listening in 2024???” killed me LMAOOOO
Haha, what about March 6 at 10:05am CET? Any changes in the listeners i should be aware of?
Solution (for a lot of the Internet): https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/shut-up-comment-blocker/
I used to use an addon that would replace YouTube comments with the Reddit comments if the video had been posted there at some point. It was better, but not by much.
Is there a Lemmy equivalent yet?
Had to do a little digging, but it appears there is! Haven’t tried it yet, but the comments seem very positive. https://merv.news/post/644180
It’s the year 1.7×10106. The heat death of the universe is imminent. Still listening to this banger. Modern music sucks - I was born in the wrong generation. Like if you agree.
The “born at the wrong time” is such a lame comment and I see it a lot on good old music posts. Do they not understand they live in a time where they can listen to the old music AND the new stuff? Good chance if they lived in that last generation they would have been complaining about how all the Smashing Pumpkins or Pink Floyd stuff is awful and wish they’d been jamming out with Gershwin.
For more on the above phenomenon, watch the movie Midnight In Paris.
When I was a kid I loved listening to Jimi Hendrix. a lot. I listened to everything I could. For a while I wondered what it must have been like to see Jimi play Monterey. Then I discovered Prince. It turns out I loved Prince even more than I ever loved Jimi Hendrix. It also turns out comparing the two isn’t really fair.
Also, the music from the past we listen to now is only the best of the best of what the 90s or whatever had to offer. There was just as much bad music then, but that is long forgotten. What remains are just the absolute bangers. As a kid I wanted to find some more music similar to the Beatles, and decided the easiest way was to look at the charts from the mid to late 60s and listen to that. Most of it was atrocious.
I feel like you’re taking a shot at Fun Boy Three.
best of what the 90s or whatever had to offer.
Yo, you best stop talking about my 90s music like it’s old. Save that for the 70s and earlier music. You know the stuff that happened before I was born.
sorry :)
And the weird thing is this was a comment on a Lawrence Welk song.
