YouTube Pet Peeves

[Deleted]

1. When "Funny" is in the video title

2. When someone makes a list of "500 greatest..." things where you argue what's the difference between #324 & #325?

3. People who dodge copyrights by squeezing the video as small as possible.

4. Obnoxious audio distortions.

5. YouTube comment sections in general.

6. 4,000 people posting the same song just for token views.

7. Bad "flash" videos sold to children that AREN'T for children.

8. "Flash" videos in general.

9. Phony teaser trailers.

I got more.

Music videos (or otherwise videos that are just there for the song) where the commercial before it is a different song. I don't want to hear your song, I want to hear the song I clicked on, and no other.

[BorneAgain]

Bad volume balance in general.

Lesson to any would be YouTubers, your intro and outro don't need to be several decibels louder than the rest of the video. Its not going to make subscribe or like any more.

I loath Autoplay.

The cover photo looks like a cool little researched piece, then you click the video and it's just some dude reporting on another YouTube video.

Noticed this a lot during this whole Todd Rogers/Billy Mitchell saga.

[Push R Truth]

A video of a video, and sometimes the video of a video of a video

[The Zombie Mod The]

multiple adverts in a 10 minute or under video.

I mainly watch youtube on a console but I seem to get stuck with the same 5/6 adverts no matter what video I'm watching.

[DiBiase is Good]

Audio/video not synched properly.

[Pushed to the Moon]

Going on a channel profile and having a video in there that starts no matter what SICKENS ME.

Also I never click on them but the thumbnails for videos by people with like an over exaggerated open mouthed shocked face and some big block lettering and an emoji. I find them so irritating but I guess it's cos I'm over 30 and hate young people having fun haha.

[Fade is a CodyCryBaby]

Videos titled "insert name here" DESTROYS "insert name here" concerning "controversial debate subject here" and there is no actual destroying to be seen

[Cranjis McBasketball]

The mid video ads. The ads before a video are bad enough but just cutting into a video for an add?? I rage out like the Hulk. That’s exactly why people use an ad blocker right there.

[Zaq "That Guy" Buzzkill]

Yelling "LIKECOMMENTSUBSCRIBE" all but guarantees I will do none of those things.

Also reaction videos. Yelling/hollering like a neanderthal when watching something is stupid and I will never understand why or how they are popular.

[Hurbster]

Jesse Cox consistently not finishing playthroughs.

[Confused Mark Wahlberg]

I saw a reaction video to a reaction video.

We've gone two levels deep here

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

I would say the comment sections, but I have a Chrome app that hides them for me.

[Jiren]

Spoilers on the main page or dickheads who make spoilers the title of the video, f*** those guys

I've never had an issue with comment section, I just laugh at em

[Nickybojelais]

Popups saying click here to watch another video 30 seconds before the video I'm currently watching has even finished. Previously you could turn these annotations off but they now seem to be locked permanently on to the screen.

The only time I look at the comments on YT is when it is a video I uploaded.

Reaction videos. You know what makes for a great reaction video? When the reaction is natural and spontaneous. You know what's not natural and spontaneous? Sitting down in front of a camera to record a reaction video.

Misleading thumbnails. You know the types, they're especially common in the IWC. You look for something in particular, the title is to the point of what you were looking to watch, the thumbnail appears to be a screen cap of the event in question, you click on the video and it's some dipshit in his poorly lit/oversaturated basement dressed in sweatpants and a three-day old shirt, talking into his 1998 webcam with the 10fps framerate talking about the event you wanted to watch. And wouldn't you know it? He's disabled ratings and comments, and in the description is a link to his Patreon and the sentence "Don't forget to subscribe!" Oh you'd better believe I'm reporting your video for using a false thumbnail.
