I remember when my ex put up a video of my kids bathing back in like 2008 or 2009 on Youtube. -- (edited) - Inigo Feb 28, 10:45 1
- someone here noted photos on flikr of their toddlers got 1,000s of hits if there was a diaper gap, 10 if not (and took them all down)...a *gap* -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 28, 10:55
How organized can they be if they are on YouTube. Nah, it's more likely the 4chan Reddit edgelords. -- nm - Qale Feb 28, 10:40
It's a can't-win situation for YouTube. The videos are fine but now the monsters are in the comments section. -- (edited) - Mop Feb 28, 10:28 5
- can youtube vids be limited in distribution like facebook posts? comments are expected from grandma, not 'uncle buck' -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 28, 10:59 1
  - YouTube has 3 published settings: Private, Public, and Unlisted. - Mop Feb 28, 11:05
- YouTube without comments will be vastly preferable to YouTube with comments. -- nm - TWuG Feb 28, 10:33 2
  - does anyone actually read the comments anyway? -- nm - decline Feb 28, 10:35 1
    - As much as I dislike the idea of comments and feel they are useless, creators and YouTube itself must see a value in them. - Mop Feb 28, 10:37
