I am a Youtube user. I have an account there because I enjoy listening to music on Youtube when I have spare time or get home from work and want to relax...I have found, to my disappointment, that yes, there are millions of uneducated young people on there. I am quite young myself and I find this very disturbing. i cannot have an opinion without being labelled a ''faggot'' or a ''whore'' by some sad case. Also I find a lot of people are very insincere. Some start off being nice to you and then they either stop messaging you or just become plain horrible..also, I feel that certain people might not be who they say they are. Another thing is a lot of people are homophobic. That hurts because I have a close friend who is gay. I am seriously considering closing my account down. Are there any better sites out there? Is Metacafe any good? Hi there! I am a Youtube user.

Brutal. There are intelligent videos, but the unintelligent ones greatly outnumber them. For the most part, the definition from encyclopedia dramatica states that "YouTube is a place where every illiterate f*cktard on the internet converges on one website. . . . YouTube is pure drama, the entire user base being full of emotional morons who will whine and bitch at the slightest provocation . . ." And so on.

Whenever I post my personal opinion on a video, there's always that ONE person who has to ruin it and bash me for my opinion... they are just sooo stupid and they all get me nervous! They never have anything to say and they enjoy starting fights. I 100% agree!

You Tube has gotten completely out of hand. Since there is no one to monitor the content, it's allowed just to fester into a larger cesspool than it already is. Anyone with a lick of intelligence can see You Tube is not where you want to post or be known for posting there. Hate and fear will always be around but we don't have to take part in making it bigger than it actually is and You Tube is doing just that. Hey Jeff;

It's amazing how these people wear their intolerance on their sleeves - that they would openly and publicly do on the Internet what they would not do in person. YouTube needs a good neighborhood watch group. With regards to the 18-year-old age minimum, I'm curious as to why you think this would help. In my experience, an idiot at 14 is still an idiot at 41, but I'm open to new ideas. Thanks for the linkage!
