  • No, YouTube has a serious idiot commenter problem.

    • Both can be true.

      • Sure, but when the first claim comes from a sensationalist youtuber, its claim to veracity sort of loses weight.

    • They are all shills sucking ads for profit

    • Lol, if you think that absolutely open sign ups on instances isn't a problem, then thanks for advertising the bankruptcy of your opinions

      • Nice strawman argument, was that what I said? Nope.

        Also, "advertising the bankruptcy of your opinions"? Go easy on the thesaurus, kid.

        • Go easy on the thesaurus, kid.

          Always the hallmark of a real contender. Oh, did I say "hallmark"? Hope that doesn't cause you to stumble. "Stumble" means to trip while walking; in this case it's a metaphor for thinking.

          Hope that was clear enough for you.

          Nice strawman argument

          Huh. Considering the primary point of the video was how open signups are bad, I don't know why you contradicted your comment on the other thread and said this video has no valid point.

          So nice self-contradiction I guess?
