People take things too seriously sometimes and get mad at people who simply think differently. Heres an actual blog about youtube comments:

These types of youtube comments are really annoying to me. I don't care enough to actually get angry, but yea, they're kinda irritating and extremely stupid. Note most of the pertain to music videos, because that's mainly what I use youtube for.
1. Justin Bieber
This is by far the most ridiculous. Why does just about every single music video I watch on youtube have at least 2 Justin Bieber comments per page? These comments are everywhere, on every type of music I search, whether its rock, prog rock, metal, jazz fusion, etc etc. It's ridiculous, you hate him but you're only adding to his fame. On top of that it's completely irrelevant. No1 cares about how much deeper the music you listen to is compared to him.
2. I'm only __, and I love ______
Musical elitism. The kid states how young he is, and the fact that he listens to this kind of music and not mainstream music. Woot! Again, no1 cares. You're not better because you think your taste in music is better. You're a fan of the band? Awesome! It doesn't make it any more awesome that you're young, and you're not the last hope of this generation.
3. __ People missed the like button
...or "__ people don't know real music". Again, musical elitism, a pet peeve of mine. Some1 isn't stupid because he doesn't share your taste in music. Why does everyone that disagrees with you have to have missed the like button? Maybe they just don't like the song.
4. Thumbs up if _____________________
These are stupid more than they are annoying but still, worth listing. Basically an obvious attention seeking move, naming something obvious that most people watching the video are likely to agree with in hopes of getting your name on the highest rated comments. I find its attention whoring more than anything else.
5. Overreacting
People take things too seriously sometimes and get mad at people who simply think differently. Heres an actual comment on "Children of the Sea", a song im listening to right now:
6. Knee jerk reactions
When I disagree with something, or state an opinion outside of the norm (for that video), why does everyone assume the worst / most generic insult in me? I don't like Ozzy's singing, and when I say that the response is usually "he's a legend you prick, go back to listening to your goddam rap and pop bullshit". I say that TvZ is imbalanced in a youtube video, or that a particular game was boring, and I get "fuck you noob go back to playing Sc2 you just discovered the game yesterday and you think you can say something"
