Bob Youtube Comment Mass Spam?
Well i've as well as most of you have noticed that youtube has changed there comment system for the worse
and many people are angry about it. But there is mass spam going on in eveyr single video no matter how old or what its about.
Its crazy how many people are reposting this comment.
O / This is Bob. Copy and paste him
/- all over youtube
/ so he can take over
and return the old comment section
This is basically the comment and its getting spammed everywhere.
Do you think youtube will do something about the mass spam or
change the youtube comment system for the old better system?

@opmeTK: You're right. I'm not saying the recommended videos is bad, but there used a more-from-this-YouTuber bar AND the recommended videos bar right underneath it.
I want to be able to reply to any comments I want. Otherwise, none of the comments under the video should be able to be replied. Because that's just not right.
Other than that, I'm okay with the new comment. Not much seems to have changed. No character limit though (I think), but I suppose that's a good thing, since they can expand and hide long ass comments now.
Links can be posted now, too. But they're automatically being directed to the link site when clicked, and that could be very dangerous. Not a smart move if you ask me.
I also want to be able to post symbols like before. Now I can't post the *enter test in between* without having the text in between being bolded, and the asterisks disappearing.
[quote=Yumtoast]YouTube comments have always been awful, now there's another reason for idiots to stop using it.
There are two things I want YouTube to change, and those are:
-Stop asking me to use my real name. Every 5-10 videos, my video gets paused and Google begs me to sacrifice my original YouTube username from 2007. I will [b]never[/b] do that, so just quit pestering me Google.
-The recommended videos bar is cool and all, but Google needs to bring back the "More from this YouTuber" tab on the side when you're watching videos; most of the time if a certain video catches my eye, I want to see everything x-YouTuber has to offer, not random stuff that's been aggregated from my watch history.
I can deal with the thumbs up/down system, I can deal with the nested comments, I can even tolerate how much more convoluted YouTube became (YT is a clusterfrick compared to what it was in 2007), just change those two things.[/quote]
You can have two accounts under one email. Once you've made the account with your real name, you can continue using your original account.
[quote=Pashmimi]The new comment system is weird, but what I don't understand is... WHY DON'T THEY HAVE A REPEAT BUTTON? Even niconico douga has it. And they have memberships.[/quote]
Just put repeat after the Youtube in the url and it'll stay on repeat for you.
I find it very stupid that they're making so many unnecessary changes. You'd think they would understand by now that everyone hates it.

so much trash[/quote]
Same here, so it doesn't really bother me.

Then why comment?
What a nightmare... I'd hate to be a moderator on YT o.O
I doubt it'll change back tho

Yes, I've noticed. When watching videos about upcoming things with ps4 and xb1, I was used to seeing tons of console fights in the comments. Now on every video when I scroll down, it's just an army of Bob's. I hope they do change the comment system back. With google+ it's a pain to find the comment others are replying to without the "show comment" thing youtube used to have. And some of the arguments are actually entertaining lol.
And apparently even one of the co founders of youtube hates the new system.
