Illuminati comments. I'm not going any further, not because Im worried of breaking the rules, but because i literally cant wrap my head around or understand what these people are aiming for. Like 99% of conspiracy theorists, they are trying to superimpose an ordered pattern on a largely random and chaotic world, for peace of mind and comfort, even if the pattern is malevolent.

It's too early to tell if the typical YouTube commenter is a sign of things to come with the younger generations of today or if it's just a silly phase people go through until they hit their 20s or so.
Trolling is almost as overrated as the word overrated is. I'm all for a good laugh at the expense of someone who has it coming by saying or doing something stupid, but people abuse the nearly lawless form of the internet to be absolutely disgusting to one another. It's not funny or cool or edgy to make fun of someone because of the way their eyebrows look, or because of their ethnicity or accent or whatever.
It also reflects more on the person 'trolling' than the person taking the abuse. Yeah, it sure is cool and against the grainz to be rude, but it only exposes the fact that you're desperate for negative attention. And if routinely putting others down is how you get it, well, the joke is ultimately on you.
As far as wrestling-related stuff goes, I don't even bother reading comments anymore. It's always just idiots talking about how "gay" WWE is now, and how much they miss the "golden age" in 1999 or whenever. Surely nostalgia and being a kid has nothing to do with how much you like a particular era, right? And those kids today? They're just stupid and cheer Cena WELL CENA IS A F**** AND SO ARE ALL HIS FANS!!11. The fact that there are people my age and beyond who see no issue with calling children liking a character targeted towards their age demo "f****s" and other awful words is just...well, if it weren't so sad it'd be very funny. Wrestling and video games, two of some of my favorite things, attract a good deal of incredibly immature people of all ages.
Ultimately, what I've learned about the internet over these past 13 or 14 years is that children and adults were NEVER meant to communicate with one another like they do. Even though sadly it's not exclusive to immature teens or whatever, I think the bulk of the problem lies with them. Because of the relative anonymity we share online behind a screen that doesn't yell back at you, some people use that as grounds to say their immediate and often of times misguided or downright uneducated feelings on just about everything. YouTube, I imagine to its immense popularity, has become a magnet for that sort of behavior.

UGH, totally agreed! Granted I've studied the subject (conspiracy theories interest me) so I know what the whole thing is about, but those are some paranoid, out of touch people. I haven't seen a ton of Illuminati YT comments, but God knows they're everywhere else on the internet

Ok, this might reveal that I'm a tiny bit of a weird freak, but on pimple popping videos...even for the tiniest of pimples, there's a million comments like "OMG YOU SULD GO TO DA DOCTOR< YOU CAN DIE FROM POPPING DOSE ZITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!1!!1"
Teens and other such people have been popping zits for centuries with maybe only a .00000000000001% of those "dying" from doing so. Why go to the doctor and spend BIG money on the office, the doctor, the nurses, the equipment, the gas to get there, ect when all they're going to do is the exact same thing you were going to do if you'd simply found a mirror and popped the dang thing yourself.
I guess these Youtube commenters must all be billionaires or something.

Like I said about wrestling videos, it's only natural for "PG SUX" comments to be prevalent in videos such as a diva getting stripped or something. Sure, they're fun to watch if someone is horny and such, but that doesn't mean it's "great."

I'm also tired of people who make CSI: Miami references. Mostly they don't even make sense.

I don't mind comments that have to do with a song that was played in a game or movie, but then there are the jerks who say something like "I was listening to this before (game/movie) existed."
There is one thing that I wonder, is there like some kind of rule that thousands of people follow on YouTube that they HAVE to be jerks to be people?

I think some people feel so constricted by political correctness that they can't help but to pop ridiculous jokes under the anonimity of the internet. We have celebs who are drugs dealers, gang members and criminals but if someone says something off color even in jest they need to apologize and go to treatment and they're still tagged as racist, or as a bigot for eternity. Honestly I think some people just use it as a way to blow off steam.
And then some people are just jerks.

Some weird individual or small group who troll Molly Holly videos and always post the same 3 or 4 messages, which make absolutely no sense.

I wouldn't call it annoyingly stupid, just very surprising that such emotion still existed after all this time: I was watching a live video of Jerry Lee Lewis from the last few years, and the first comment I saw was, "He should be sitting behind prison bars, not in front of a piano!"

No girl can post a video of herself singing, talking or doing anything, without at least 50 people demanding nudity/sex/footage of her undergoing a golden shower.

He a spurned lover or something? Even NEW JACK has nothing but kind words about Nora Greenwald. Somehow I doubt random youtuber has a valid issue with her. I love/hate youtube comments that could be answered with a simple google search, like when they think Hector Guerrero is Eddie and that WWE pretended Eddie died because they fired him. I also found one once where they were claiming Cthulhu is real and we shouldn't joke about him.
