I suppose if it is a personal programme that one can choose to have on their computer then I have no qualms with it. I thought the post was referring to a universal censorship of hater's comments. But, if that isn't so, then I agree that having so...
And you might remember that they did do this, except it wasn't mandatory - which sort of completely defeated the purpose and I believe it's gone now.
Forgive me for playing devils advocate, because I do very much appreciate you bringing up this issue, buuuut:
We aren't the programmers at YouTube so we technically can't stop people from posting hater-ish comments even if we wanted to - and I'll...
Wow, If you think there should be a 140 character minimum than you must loathe Twitter. That said, I think a 140 minimum might be a little high but a character minimum could be made a setting?
Secondly, I think you're right, there's just about th...
xkcd had an excellent idea:
What brought the idea to my mind in the first place was not that the haters bothered me, I just don't read the comments if I see an abundance of haters. No ,what triggered the idea was the thought that John and Hank (and all vlog-ers) probably do ...
Good points all - I agree that we must proceed with caution to avoid censoring well-meaning nerdfighters. In fact that is the reason I proposed an ordering of comments rather than a censor, that way comments aren't lost per say but likely buried b...
I believe you are talking about the plugin YouTube Comment Snob, which filters using the criteria:
* More than # spelling mistakes: The number of mistakes is customizable, and the extension uses Firefox's built-in spell checker.
* All capital let...
I think people should just get over it.
One can control YouTube comments without seeming to be censoring them. The whole purpose of YouTube is for people to express themselves, and while some (moronic) people feel the need to express themselves using idiotic and senseless insults, it's ...
140 character minimum comment limit. That way people would have to have something to say in order to comment. Most people wouldn't bother cheating to fulfill it, because people are lazy. Even haters.
How come nobody ever makes a video about all t...
I think if we are attempting to design the perfect comment filter (a noble goal) we should first define it's purpose. I propose "highlight the comments worth reading" but I imagine this is not the only approach.
I would accomplish my stated goal ...
Interesting idea, though "incompetent surrealists have inundated my partridge community with nonsensical blather" achieves a definitively worse score than such prose deserves.
If we were to design "the perfect comment filter," what would be its c...
In light of John and Hank's recent brush with YouTube haters I propose we brainstorm ways to improve the quality of YouTube comments.
I would suggest we use an algorithm along the lines of the Flesch–Kincaid Grade Level test to filter out comment...
