But for comments you cant really go much further then "good video!" or "bad video!" as you cant change vids AT ALL after they are posted.

You could add criticisms, opinions, thoughts, reflections, questions...

As opposed to

The good top comments actually include critcism on what the video poster is doing wrong.
And the JB-related ones seem to have completely died out.
I spend way too much time on YT ;_;

Good top comments are few and far between, and usually only arise after a shitstorm and or flame war. Any music-related video will inevitably be full of JB comments. And regardless of what it is, it's still a better love story than twilight.

Also first.

Hashtags.

Actually, not hashtags themselves, which can be useful. What I loathe is the constant generation of pointless hashats for trivial, mundane and dull things. #whatihadforbreakfast - nobody reads it as they are interested, its just one more way of letting people think that the noise they make is important. It gets worse once certain types of young people/teenagers get in on it - the recent #1directionsextape hashtag for example.

Thank you to the BBC live olympics feed for inspiring this rant. NOT EVERYTHING NEEDS A HASHTAG!

[Starver]

Am assuming that the BBC feed you're talking about (I don't twitter, and probably skip over the obvious twitter-type stuff in the regular live-feed stuff) is something like "Bradley wiggins has just won a gold! #bbcsport #bbc2012 #olympics #timetrial #menstimetrial #bradleywiggins #cycling #roadcycling #timetrialling #youknowliketheprologueofthetourdefrance #teamgb #goldmedal #ukgoldmedal #ukmedals #heywhatwasthetwittercharacterlimitagain?"




(PS: not relevant to the subject at hand, but when the Tour De France was finishing I was at the Mersey Roads 24hr time-trial, waiting for the results of this popular annual race (winner came in at about 488 miles, thankyouverymuch), when Wiggins was having a hard time in his road race, I was at a 25-mile time trial.  The day after I was at a 12 hour time-trial (somewhere around 300 miles being the winners distance, but whatever it was the first two were within 0.8 miles of each other, in the provisional result!).  I get annoyed by the real-world ignoring the many grass-roots time-trialling events run across the UK, every year (what made Chris Boardman, Graham Obree, Bradley Wiggins et al good at time-trials, in particular, and competative cycling in general)... but that's definitely an off-topic grumble.  Hmm, seem to have hijacked and derailed my own post.  Sorry.)

I hate it when people write 'then' instead of 'than'

e.g. I'm better then you.

SUGGESTION!

I'm better, then you!

Reading this thread makes me feel very hated person.

The internet habits I hate the most are my own... when I am trying to do something and end up doing anything but.

Necroposting.

One thing in particular that annoys me are the internet geek-chic swarm. I never really got it, why on Earth does a scarf and lensless 3-D glasses make you a geek? Well, at least you got the part about intelligence not being a requisite right. No, just stop. Farmville and angry birds does not make you a gamer, just because you drink lemonade that does not make you an alcoholic. And will you stop it with the namedropping and the camwhoring! #whydoyouhatecontentcreators #wasthehashtagreallynecessary

THIS THREAD DIED EXACTLY ONE YEAR AGO! I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER WHAT THE CONTEXT FOR MY POST HERE WAS!

ANYWAYS I HATE THE CALLIBRI FONT

The "my brain is speshul" people.  I'm not talking about the people who are using the internet to explore their thought processes and how they're different from the norm, for their own edification.  I'm talking about the people who are using it to broadcast a "I AM AN INDIVIDUAL I AM UNIQUER THAN YOU" doctrine.
