The World according to Rich - YouTube


Peter Parker's Uncle once said "With great power, comes great responsibility" - however, in YouTube's case, it's "With great servers comes a complete set of retards"

Dont get me wrong, YouTube is great for listening to music, catching up on your favourite TV shows, and watching video game playthroughs; but with this sugar cube comes a truckload of sour lemons.

The site seems to be infested with people who seem to think anyone wants to watch them for 10 minutes talking about how they put too much starch in with the wash, or that one time they ate a WHOOOLE pie. No-one could give two halves of a popcorn fart. Seriously.

I hear what you're thinking "But, you write a blog, what makes you different?" - one thing. I do this to make people laugh. YouTube bloggers do it because they want people to fawn over them like flies to cowshit. Besides, you could close this window, without becoming enraged. Try watching one of Boxxy's videos. That goddamn woman will be in your mind, pissing you off for at least a week. She's not the only one either.




Meet Pruane2forever.

When you're done staring at what can only be described as a bear trap underneath his nose, let me tell you a bit about our aluminimouth here. He will talk about anything. Seriously, anything. Rap, movies, games, braces (LOL), hell, probably even the aerodynamics of leprechauns. He does this, however, in a voice that if you put it into a supercomputer, the verdict would be "castrated moose". Annoying isnt even the fucking word. Its just nauseating. Try it, see if you notice anything other than the steroid enhanced jaw.

The people aren't the only problem. There are some who are genuinely entertaining, providing a good thing to the people. Darksydephil, TheSageRises, JamesNintendoNerd (otherwise known as the Angry Video Game Nerd) - but, good luck finding them amongst all the videos uploaded with a large pair of breasts as the thumbnail, only to find they lead to a video containing a link to buy Vietnamese women online.

It's the same with comments. How many times have you seen someone post something like "Once this little girl scooped her own eyes out with a rusty spoon, and she died, and if you dont post this on ten other videos, she's going to appear in your room and shove a pineapple up your ass" - the sad thing is, people fall for this shit. It takes up space and is just the most infantile version of internet trolling.


That being said, YouTube has it's merits. If you dont browse 4chan, you wont know Dusty. Dusty's owner placed a video on YouTube containing footage of him throwing Dusty against walls, kicking and punching him.

However, 4chan got wind of this, and hunted the guy down; now Dusty has a new home, and the abuser's life is ruined, just as soon as he gets out of prison.






So, perhaps we should learn to take the bitter with the sweet? Maybe. But lets give the people who warrant attention the views, huh? Not the poop-nuggets who wear eyeliner and talk about bullshit.
