Elwin's Life

Alright, enough random stuff about music and our generation's almost exclusive pathological YouTube. I am infected and I am loving it. However, there's one thing that is really getting on my nerves.

Thumbs up if you agree that thumbs up whores are stupid. Oh man.

How many of them can spell correctly? I keep seeing variants like thumps or tumbs as if they were actually intended. I am not even talking about grammar here, insult to mankind's intelligence imo. Seriously how insecure do you have to be to actively seek the approval of random strangers on the internet.

And of course, this travesty does not manifest only in the form of 'thumbs up if you agree', although it is the predominant one. There are three other recurring successful themes I see in highest rated comments nowadays, two of which are built upon the monstrosity of YouTube's newly revamped rating system.

¬¬

Number one, we have the 'OMG THE BEST PART OF THIS SONG IS 0:01-x:xx!', where x:xx is the length of the song/video/whatever. I mean, oh fucking please. And obviously, as the unbounded capabilities of human imagination would dictate, there are alternatives. There's the 'I hate this song except for 0:01-x:xx' or 'This song sucks from x:xx+1'. Loladonkaroflaments.

Number two, 'x people are Justin Bieber fans!' FUCK! As much as Beebur is hateworthy, we don't actually need to see his name everywhere, contrary to popular/teensy girls' belief. Moreover, we could deduce for ourselves the number of dislikes by hovering our cursor over the lame ass bar thing, whatever it's called. This type of thumbs up whoring comment also appears in the following forms: 'I need x bullets', 'x people missed the like button', etc. It is also customary to add a smiley face behind, to further add another layer of fail, like this: 'How can anyone hate this song :( ... 69 people missed the like button! :D' s :) c :) r :) e :) w :) o :) f :) f

Obviously, there will be the real elaborate ones, featuring the mom and son conversation. I am not going bother forcing myself to live the horrible experience of creating such a fake and artificial comment, so I'm just gonna ship it.

mom: "where are you going son?"

me:"to kill 57 haters"

mom: "how are you doing it"

me: "i have 3793 freinds to back up me"

mom "ok dont be late for dinner!" XD

Seriously? GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY INTERNET.

And bring back the 5-star rating system, not a lame ass dichotomy which encourages so many spazz retards cumming all over YouTube with their ever-original comments.

Speaking of online comments, check this out.

'See more... See more... See more...

People on Facebook are not even competent enough to copy and paste a piece of chain mail.'

Yes.

Probably will never sign up for an fb a/c after seeing this.
