Why are Youtube comments so idiotic?
Seriously... Youtube has the worst comments on any website I've ever been to (including 4chan and fark, which at least can be witty and lol worthy).

Xkcd nailed it with this brilliant webcomic:

I've never seen a site with such crappy comments... and I've spent time on Digg. I've been hanging out Youtube lately listening to Michael Jackson tribute mixes, and have been amazed at how pathetically sad the comments are.

Does Youtube have the worst comments on the internet?

People who read blog sites are obviously going to leave better comments. For one, we know how to read. YouTube is for people who just watch and are lazy.

Wherever there is a comment box with idiots behind the keyboard, you'll always have dumbasses trying to spout dumb phrases that they think make them cool. Don't feed the trolls.

Youtube comments make me want to cut my wrists. ALTHOUGH, I think myspace video comments are far worse.

Yes.
At least 'channers' resort to douchebaggery in a more clever way.
Even forum trolls can be clever.
Youtube is just full idiot, fail trolls.
And just idiots in general.
