I like internet comments. It's the one time you don't have to worry about smiling at everyone and being nice. You can say what you're thinking. Sometimes, you don't like the video, or you have a dissenting opinion – what's wrong with that? People aren't gonna agree on everything all the time, and if they are then they are bullsh*tting. Toughen up and accept reality. And besides, go to a Japanese video on YT and read the 100+ Japanese comments of “that was really nice!”, “that was great!”, “that was nice!”.
Gets pretty boring if you ask me…

Youtube can't stop people from spamming, hundred and even thousand of people are submitting videos everyday and receiving tons of comments each minute, and its impossible to erase those comments with the huge number of visitors they obtain, morality really goes down on youtube.

You could also try to establish a social network in Bayram Turlari. From my point of view, this location has undeveloped potential that could be transformed overnight with the right type of investment and people.

I’m almost certain that the social network in Turkey is Xuqa.

Hi Andrew,

On the requirement of registration for forum participants, you may like this perspective from Topix.net- http://blog.topix.com/archives/000106.html which is a little contrarion.

You may have also read the Clay Shirky's piece on Internet Communities- http://www.shirky.com/writings/group_enemy.html -where the size of the group is inversely proportional to the "health" of a community.

I just wonder what depth of comments you are expecting on content generally meant to entertain and distract? It’s not like anyone is coming to these sites with any serious intentions.

This is the cost of the Internet. Censorship is dead. YouTube can’t moderate all comments unless they hire more workers.
