I bet OP won’t pin my comment
Correct.
Charlie says my music is better!
Not even first. Lol
But this was the other comment I was looking for that’s absolutely a waste of space.
NOOOO! I’m first.
Most yt comments are mildly infuriating and bring nothing to the table.
I almost wrote this post that way but decided that was too general, but you’re right of course.
I love scrolling through the nuthouse that is YouTube comments, it’s always so unhinged.
It’s the year 1.7×10106. The heat death of the universe is imminent. Still listening to this banger. Modern music sucks - I was born in the wrong generation. Like if you agree.
The “born at the wrong time” is such a lame comment and I see it a lot on good old music posts. Do they not understand they live in a time where they can listen to the old music AND the new stuff? Good chance if they lived in that last generation they would have been complaining about how all the Smashing Pumpkins or Pink Floyd stuff is awful and wish they’d been jamming out with Gershwin.
For more on the above phenomenon, watch the movie Midnight In Paris.
When I was a kid I loved listening to Jimi Hendrix. a lot. I listened to everything I could. For a while I wondered what it must have been like to see Jimi play Monterey. Then I discovered Prince. It turns out I loved Prince even more than I ever loved Jimi Hendrix. It also turns out comparing the two isn’t really fair.
And the weird thing is this was a comment on a Lawrence Welk song.
Who’s reading this in 2024?!
I’m reading this in 2025 /s

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
First
Even worse are the comments on old songs, any culture, any language. You’ll always have comments like “I am 13 and I love this music! Modern music bad!”. It really sucks the joy out of listening to those songs.
I solve this by never looking at comments.
There was a browser extension they replaced all the words in yt comments with “bla”. Pretty great stuff.
The good news is, you don’t need your eyes for listening
Now you tell me. I’ve been putting my headphones on my eyes for years and wondering why I couldn’t hear anything.
Once I see them, it just does something to me.
It really sucks the joy out of listening to those songs.
Does it tho?
Really?
Why are you so mentally invested in that song and other people’s opinions of it?
Some people are irrationally angry at everything that anyone young does or likes, because deep down it reminds them of their own mortality and the short span of time we are actually allocated to live life.
Plenty of opposites too.
“I am 47 and discovered this thanks to my kids. Not all old people reject modern music”
Its always the music that’s 10 years old
The chorus of: “I’m <insert some usually made up age> and <some asinine comment>”
I find more obnoxious than the “who’s watching/listening in <bla blah>” comments.
Broadly speaking I don’t bother looking at comments on youtube, the signal to noise ratio is on the floor.
Plot twist, the sing came out 5 years ago
hyprland pfp!
Who’s reading this post in 1895? Because I accidentally dropped my phone while time traveling.
My AI girlfriend just dictated your post me to in 2049
All the best food is penis shaped. Hot dogs, popsicles, dicktaters.
Who’s still utilizing YouTube comments in 2024???
utilizing
This is an added bonus. When people use the big words for no reason (or rhyme, dawg), I can only hear it in a Mike Tyson lithp.
“utilithing”
Utili-tizing (i’ve heard this word spoken more than once and I’m still recovering)
Utilizing is a big word for you?
I just assume these are all from twelve year olds.
Who’s reading this Lemmy post in 2025?
Not me. I’m reading this Lemmy post in browser.
1920x1200 still.
Who hates YouTube comments???
Updoots to the left
0:07 “Who’s listening in 2024" lol
0:09 “who’s still listening in 2024???” killed me LMAOOOO
Haha, what about March 6 at 10:05am CET? Any changes in the listeners i should be aware of?
On this video, there were two more asking the same question.
HEY, THAT’S ME!! I’M LISTENING TO THIS IN 2024!!! How did they know??? Holy shit!! Like like like!!
Solution (for a lot of the Internet): https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/shut-up-comment-blocker/
I used to use an addon that would replace YouTube comments with the Reddit comments if the video had been posted there at some point. It was better, but not by much.
Is there a Lemmy equivalent yet?
Had to do a little digging, but it appears there is! Haven’t tried it yet, but the comments seem very positive. https://merv.news/post/644180
If it was a small artist this would make sense. Imagine an artist with less then 1000 views on YouTube. It might be interesting to see if they have any superfans still listening
It was the Pet Shop Boys

My favorite example at the moment, 10y/o Youtube gold with less than 3000 views. One of those comments from 2021
I always assumed the majority of these were bots for MarTech companies testing for engagement.
Mind you, I assume 90% of YouTube comments are these days.
