(A new thread, a new gripe. Greetings, i'm TT's #1 Gripemister or master...whatever. But most people know me as Timewarp. I don't know if I have die hard fans of these series of random rants I make...and I don't care. The only thing that matters, my opinion. So this is to all of you who continually remind me of why I type these rants, cause it's late at night and you probably think I am crazy. Enjoy)
Remember back in the day when your parents bought your first video camera. You know the ones as big as VCRs and weighed like 20 pounds to operate. Well I bet as a kid you taped some random things like the sky or mud or you farting... whatever. You didn't care then. You thought it was just totally awsome to see yourself on tv. You probably even showed it to family or a few friends. Remember looking through your old tapes years later and you say to yourself, "I'm glad no one saw this. What was I thinking"?
Things were sure were different back then, but now it's the future...I think. I remeber being told there would be flying cars and stuff. But that's a rant for another day. And in this day and age where anyone can share everything, why not home movies? So some guy said, "Let my people share their home movies" and Youtube was born. For time it was great, new ideas, new things, and all the Weird Al and Ren and Stimpy you could watch. But now something has happened in the land of youtube. Something that is growing like an unstoppable cancer, and there is no cure. It's the plauge...NO CREATIVITY!
In case you didn't get the message, youtube just plains sucks now. Sure it used to be cool but now it's clogged with more crap than a public restroom toilet at a truckstop. I used to think, I'll be able to live my childhood with the pop culture of the day, now I can't even go back without wading through sludge ball clip after another. Oy...i'm already annoyed. So once again let's dissect the problem and get a better perspective of the situation.
1. Everyone thinks they're special - Okay, that's a given. I mean it's in the websites title. But even so, it's quite obvious that some people(s) are just plain not noteworthy in any shap or form. Examples. Type the word "baby". You'll get like 100,000 + clips of babies doing what babies do...nothing. What is so unique from one baby to another? I don't see any clips of actual babies performing feats of superior skill and knowledge. There aren't no baby ninjas or baby crime fighters. Is there even babies who can simply do math? No, it's just clip after clip of babies...doing nothing...having a blank stare on their face...while someone goes..."awww...". WHAT'S SO AMAZING ABOUT THAT!?
To me, it looks like the same baby in 100,000 thousands different scenarios but still boring. NO ONE CARES ABOUT BABIES!
Okay, that's bad enough but then let's look at older children videos, particularly teens. Why is every teen clip filled with idiots? Type the word "mortal peep fight", no, just dwell on the word for a minute. This is what are future generation is doing with their free time? and if it's not that, they're doing stupid stunts, or talking about nothing, or DOING nothing! I'm sure when these teens did these movies, they thought it was just harmless fun. But in my eyes, they're just documenting how stupid a human being can actually be...Mortal Peep Fight...think about it.
Finally videos that just try to be funny but are not. I saw a black man repeat the words S*** and 600 dollars over and over for 5 minutes...
READ THAT SENTENCE AGAIN!
Please Youtube, give me another reason to lose hope in humanity. How about bucktooth rednecks complaining about the president or a insane laughing monk? Hell i'll take the guy who rants about random stuff. oh wait...NOOO!!!
2. AMV and other pointless music videos - Why oh why can't I just search for my favorite songs without having to wade through pointless photo shopped movies. When does someone say, "I like this music, lets apply it to something totally unrelated to it and stick it on the net". I really don't like ripoffs of songs, now I have to hold back my rage as I search for the original music video. You know what really pisses me off...WHY THE F*** ARE THERE SO MANY ANIME MUSIC VIDEOS!? I mean not only is the music 100% not related to the clip, it doesn't even belong there to begin with. Try looking up weird al, some people have used his classic songs and butchered them with one of those animes I wouldn't watch at all...like Naruto or Pokemon or some other piece of crap. Not only that but there are like 23562 versions of the same song using the same clips. Please oh please tell me we don't have people who hear this music when they watch cartoons, yeah I said cartoon cause anime ain't cool no more.
I also hate how people take out the original music from a movie or a videogame and replace it with something completely wrong. Ever watched a clip of the Matrix while We are the Champions plays in the background? Let's hope that day never comes.
The worst is the editing. Not only is the music/clip combo bad, not only does it make the content degradable, even the friggin timing is off. How can you have a kickass guitar solo and have nothing happen during that solo on the clip? ugh.....damn you people.
3. Not enough content - I wish I could seem some clips I haven't seen in years. Unfortunately Youtube is so afraid of getting their butts sued, they'll take anything off that is even remotely cool, like films or old tv shows. Come on I thought at least I could relive some of my child hood memories...apparently not.
4. You - Yeah you, hey? Look at me when I talk to you. It's because of You that crap on Youtube is allowed to exist. There is no reason to vote 5 on everything you see. It only sends the message that you live breathe and eat s***. Come on, could you people at least try to discourage bad video just enough so at least more won't be posted. If you vote 5 or give good commits on obviously dumb clips, you're part of the problem.
Well I think that's all my gripes. Random rants usually end like this. Leaving you to fill in the blanks. Well that's it...go home...or commit. As always I'm interested in your commits...so long as you just agree and don't piss me off.
