Just list some of your worst pet peeves when it comes to youtube.

1) Ads
2) Comments that start with or are like "X amount of people don't Y"
3) Comments that make jokes about the 30Xth person to view a video.
4) ******** youtube comments.
5) STILL NO REPEAT BUTTON :mad:
Hint: If you put "repeat" between youtube and .com, the song you have on youtube will be put on repeat

What about you?

7) People who try to get attention by posting racist or otherwise irrelevant comments.
8) People who complain at #7 because they think they will make a difference.

People who wait on YouTube all day to post "FIRST!", "SECOND" and "ONE HUNDRED AND TWELVE!" comments.

It's their life accomplishment.

Screen-wide annotations.
"Why is the quality so bad?" comments after the video has been uploaded for like 5 minutes.

"Thumbs ups, favourite, subscribe and tell your friends!"

"I will upload the next part if I get 5000 likes!"

Videos that never load.

97% of the comments section.

Specific videos that load way slower than everything else for no good reason.

People who title videos after popular/hyped songs or artists but put in different audio.

1) Justin Bieber fans thinking that all other music is worse or sucks (lol . . . . .)
2) "Did he died?" [On the flipside, "Da*n Nature, You Scary!" never gets old for me. XD Though I'm sure that will change soon. >_>]
3) Most blog videos there
4) Videos of YOUTUBE videos, recorded by an independent camera no less . . . .
5) The ad button that doesn't get all the way off the video you're watching. (I think Adblock fixes this in Firefox, but I tend to watch videos in Internet Explorer . . . . .]
6) Featured comments not working properly [I've seen comments with 64+ bumped off by a comment with 3+]
7) Religion vs. Non-religion being brought up on every other video.
8) People that baw whenever someone feeds an animal live prey.
9) People that can't type comments for ****, which is, sadly, the majority. Of course, since you can't edit comments, I can understand some of the mistakes, but some of the grammatical and spelling errors are horrendous.
10) The commercials that can't be refreshed "out of".
11) Double-standards. Seriously, there are some videos by popular people that are total b******* that receive great ratings while there are awesome videos by unpopular people that get poor ratings.
12) The inability to update videos, though I can understand that someone could replace a good video with a dirty one, how many people actually would do that?

How much subscriptions do you have?

Because my subbers/subs is like this, and I've never seen that note:



At one point, it was more like 10/400 too.


Also favourite limits used to annoy me, but they seem to have disappeared.


E:
And like said already, the god **** interface changes.
Especially on the "my favourites" page.

Why the hell did they get rid of the [Video unavailable] tag that was the only thing making it easy to know whether or not I could delete some videos.
Having to scroll through thousands of videos instead of ctrl + f'ing? No thanks.

People who's comment consist only of a 'quote' from the video

Comments that asked to be thumbed up

FIRST!

I still can't seem to find the video responses lol

Getting rick-roll'd? Why hasn't that come up yet?

Mostly, I just hate how the comments aren't in chronological order anymore.

I don't mind getting rick-roll'd cause that song is awesome.

Another YouTube pet peeve of mine:

Poorly made machinima videos. Like, the kind which a 12 year old and his friends make in Halo 3 and think it's awesome.

Unnecessary video responses where some camwhore **** shoves their face in a camera.
If you have something ******** to say, go to the **** comments.

The comments. I only ever bother reading the top rated, and even they're sometimes in the format of 'X amount of people don't Y'

People that post parts 1 and 2 to a TV show but not part 3

People who do terrible music covers, and don't stop doing them

Idiots who take a popular video and just re upload it on their channel in hopes of getting attention

Said Idiots who decide it would be great to do a poorly edited remix of said video

And said poorly edited remixes that happen to be autotune

When a video takes a really long time to load and when it finally loads, only the audio starts playing while there's white where teh videos should play. Then I have to reload again :glare:

Youtube poops.

People who copy popular comments in hopes of getting their comment higher rated.

Everything else has already been said.

@Lyth: Rick Rolls are awesome! How can you not like them?

Whenever i look up an instrumental and see a bunch of people typing up their own lyrics, thinking someone at Def Jam is acutlaly gonna read their youtube comment and get a record deal.

i dont understand the willingness for people to want their comments rated higher.
the other day i went back to an old video i commented on just to watch it again and was surprised to see i had the highest rated comment.

Do people just constantly check vids they commented on for the self gratification? cuz unless im missing something, nothing is gained when your comment gets thumb'd up.....

Yeah, but, like the Korean guy that sings Mariah Carey songs and stuff, it can be funny, lol. There was also this one guy who did a Jason Mraz "I'm Yours" cover back when it was famous. People trolled, saying it was "amazing" and "great" and other stuff. The guy actually thought he was good and ended up posting lots of videos up. Then he eventually raged and deleted them all. :(

My top two are people making comments having to do with the thumbs up/down for a video, and put downs to Justin Bieber that are totally out of place and random.

I don't think I've watched that many youtube vids in total @_@

Do you subscribe to every person that has a video you like or something??

I use subscriptions only for the reason that I'm notified when they make a new video.
So I can't possibly fathom why you have 16000 subscriptions loool

16,308 subscriptions, as of this message.
What is this I don't even

Anyway, the comments are the worst part of youtube; it's like 4chan for 12 year olds. Sure, the comments are occasionally funny, but I'm tired of seeing huge, ******** arguments on a music video about how universal health care makes America socialist.

Oh, and most of the time, the anti-socialist (and loudest/most idiotic) side constantly quotes Glenn Beck and talks about how he is revealing the deep-rooted conspiracy of Obama's Czars and network of power. >_>

When you're subbed to someone on YouTube, they upload a new video and you watch it.

Then it re-appears in your subscription box a few days later like you never watched it. I'm subbed to a lot of CoD players on YouTube so it's very annoying.

I was watching a video a little while ago, and it appeared to be completely buffered, but it kept randomly pausing like it wasn't.
I mean wtf
Why even have a bar then

Yeah, I love it when it claims that the video is "loaded" when it really hasn't been.

Deceiving.

I do. It gets really annoying because it's on every music video imaginable. Who cares about Justin Bieber? Why are people so obsessed with him to bring him up in totally unrelated videos?

I hate it when someone creates a video out of something popular just to get views. For example: when Brawl was in production people would post up 3 minute videos titled "Brawl Exclusive Gameplay Footage" only to be 3 minutes of 1 screenshot.
