YouTube Trolling


There are many ways people can troll online using social media, which is where many people think that most of the online trolling occurs. For example, tweeting to someone negative things, however I think one of the most popular places where online trolling occurs is on Youtube. I have watched many Youtube videos by multiple beauty gurus and usually before every video they do a disclaimer that basically says to not watch the video if you will have negative views towards it. The reason they do this is to avoid negative reviews or comments, however there are still people that do it. On most YouTube videos there are negative comments and people always respond to it defending the beauty guru. Then the negative commenter replies back creating a dispute. Many YouTubers have done videos addressing trolling online, and some have taken a break from making YouTube videos, which is unfortunate because it is something they love to do. For most of these YouTubers the negative comments continue to their social media accounts, so the trolling doesn't end. In my opinion, the comment section on Youtube should be better regulated, because I do think that it has more benefits than negatives. For instance, people leave comments on what they like to watch or what products they recommend. However, many people take advantage of being able to comment and talk negatively. So I am in between. Overall, many people don't realize that most YouTubers make videos as their job. YouTubers try so hard to make watchable content that we would enjoy, and they should not be trolled.

  1. Yes, i understand how tedious it can be when people comment nasty things on YouTube. However,sometime when it gets too controversial YouTube later blocks others to view it. later on preventing the YouTuber and the audience to further comment or become offended.so in a sense, YouTube is trying there best so that when it happens, it doesn't go over the limit. But You Tubers do get hurt, i'm assuming, and yes people are idiots for not realizing that those who take there you tuber career seriously, is that this is there masterpieces to the world. However, in an unfair world we live in, sometime YouTube cant immediately stop people who troll nor try o track those who said sometime shocking and arrest them. Its complicated, but the only thing we can do is report those who are trolling and try to help out by contacting YouTube for support. I hope that help you out. :)
