Oh yess, I remember listening to Drake's Hotline Bling song on youtube and one of the comments said, "Drake dances like my drunk uncle" Not sure if anyone else at the time saw it, but I found it pretty trolololol
a recent example ive seen:
apollo legend releases a video called top 10 saves in speedrunning. someone appears in the list, and he calls the person who is biologically a man a she to respect what gender she wants to be. this one thing caused an absolute ****storm in the comments with things like
"transgender doesnt exist you tranny ****ing **** **** *****es suck my **** you SJWs you dumb feminist mother****ers go back to ****ing tumblr you re***** FEMINISM REKT COMPILATION"
this is the majority of the comment section
it hurt his ratings quite a bit, all because of that
Anything else like that that's pretty much pointless and grabbing for likes. YouTube comments are pretty much a collection of spam, insults and arguments, "kill yourself!"'s and unrelated comments.
I wonder why no one has mentioned those chain letters about some dead person and if you don't keep the dumb thing alive, you will die in 3 days or something like that. They scare people a lot sometimes.
The entire comment section on literally every Fire Emblem Warriors video.
Even channels with usually peaceful comments have a complete riot when an FE Warriors video goes up
also i think it highly depends on the youtuber. ex gaming channels. coryxkenshin has a positive fanbase and i rarely see hate in his comments section and is probably the only gaming yt that i enjoy looking through the comments, but i see so much racism on comment sections of yt like pewdiepie, dunkey, leafy.
and just when you think that people do this because of anonymity, then theres the facebook comments. facebook comments are like the more longer, meme-less version of youtube comments with the same amount of racism, and misogyny, if not, worse.
So I was on a Brand New video song, and some idiot kept saying stuff like, "THIS MUSIC SUCKS DICK! I HATE IT! YOU'RE ALL GAY!" like why??/
Also the mouthbreathers that comment Tic Tac Head on Callum's Corner's videos.
