The "X people missed the like button" YouTube comment

Opinion: The aforementioned cliché is overused and needs to die as fast as possible. Everyone who sees such a comment should rate it down on the spot.

It's either a pathetic flame or a bad joke that's been told almost more often than "Orange you glad". Let's do our part to dispense with it.

I don't believe you all. How do you
not
manage to read YouTube comments at all? The "X people" remark shows up CONSTANTLY on Highest Rated, which is why I bring it up. Unless you're weird and you shrink your browser window so that the comment window isn't visible, you can't help but look at it. And that damned comment is always at the top.

It's unavoidable. You've never seen a YT comment in ages? That's baloney unless you've managed to never see a YouTube video within the past few months.

On the new topic (*groan*), I kinda like the new system better than the 5-stars one just for its transparency. I don't mind not having the gray area. I think overall human's tolerance for change is initially low when it comes to user interfaces, but I've never seen prolonged problems in terms of adaptation.

Seriously, who was it that taught all the morons how to use computers recreationally? Can't we go back to the good old days when only smart people were online and all the stupid people were sitting at home watching network television or something? I blame apple.
And yet complacency with stupid internet memes still runs rampant. We're
letting
people pollute the internet.
You can just not look below the video bit. It's not hard.
You mean I'm supposed to watch a video of [4] minutes in length and not have my eyes glance over at least one of the comments? That doesn't happen.

The facts are blatantly obvious, and yet you're still all naysayers and suggesting the problem is nonexistent. Just rate the garbage down on sight and be done with it. Suggesting that
I'm
the difficult one is ridiculous if you aren't even going to put up the effort to hit a button.

Relevant

Disagree with him bashing the layout, but onwards from that, awesome. It's certainly a different vantage, I'd much rather just stop it just cause it's repetitive and annoying.

See? People care. But yeah, I guess we're interestingly in agreement that GD is the wrong place to promote this. Onwards!
