Comments on: Tube dicks http://www.metafluence.com/tube-dicks/ This is beyond marketing, it is manipulation Sat, 10 Jan 2009 00:03:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Jeff http://www.metafluence.com/tube-dicks/#comment-27022 Jeff Fri, 02 Nov 2007 04:53:50 +0000 http://www.metafluence.com/?p=21#comment-27022 I refrain from reading YouTube comments; they're so disgusting. I never scroll down to check them out anymore. I just scroll down far enough to see the video I want to see and that's that. YouTubers may have a right to post whatever they want, but I have a right to not read their garbage. I refrain from reading YouTube comments; they’re so disgusting.

You can be funny and cute and still not be an ass....:) Some people tend to be sarcastic (like me) and they take that too far…making someone feel bad about themselves or their heritage is absolutely uncalled for.

Probablly they change their name often anyway.... You every wonder if it could help a person change or "grow up" Not likely they might even try to gain hate flags for fun. The other thought is if all this stuff stays around in ten years can we throw their comments back at them? can we give them perminate bad internet carma? There really is no consequence that will stick. I just though if one day when they are older if they came across their own hateful words.... would they care? I would but then I never do that. Perhaps a benifit for being nice. On <a>worth1000</a> you vote on eachothers stuff and get carma points based on how closely you come to the average score. The more intune you are the more influence your vote has later. (the longer you have been around the more influence) Of course if you want to win it helps if your vote counts more. There is a rating system for these videos I noticed. You could restrict comments from those who rake videos improperly. The only reason I rate the stuff on worth1000 is to see how I rank, or I have to wait until the contest is over and my carma goes down if I don't vote. Probably too complicated for Youtube. At the very least they would have to organize by subject, content and length... I love worth1000 you get carma for comments too- I have never had a "bad" comment and one or two have been very helpful. I like the flaging idea, you know code would it be hard to hate flag someone?

To get more of an idea about what i'm talking about, download this episode of a podcast called Inside The Net (Leo Laporte of TWiT and Amber MacArthur) where they interview Steve Chen of YouTube. But even if thats not what they intended YouTube to become, thats where it looks like it may need to go. They may even need to go so far as a complete new web release with the added options of making it a better and higher quality social networking website.
