Metafilter comments vs. Youtube comments
- troppo 19y agoWhat this proves: MetaFilter posters use 100 words to say what could be said in 3, whereas YouTube posters use 1.
- deathbyzen 19y agoI. 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 19y agoI 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.
