Top Ten Worst Types of YouTube Comments
If there was a list titled "Most Controversial Places on the Internet," YouTube comment sections would be at least in the top 3.
Keep in mind that I'm not attacking the people who make these kinds of comments. I'm just going over the repetitive comments, the copy-and-paste comments, etc.
Let's get started, shall we?
-
"Who's watching this in (a certain year)" comments.
I thought the "First!" comments were bad, but this one is the absolute worst. I've seen it in almost every music video I watch, and people do it just to get hundreds of likes on their comments. People even respond positively to them! It's not even original or good, yet they keep doing it for every passing year. Even now, people say things like, "January 7, 2018, 10:47 AM!" If you're doing this, it's time to stop.
They are flooding the comments section of nearly every video! It's hard to find a video nowadays without one of these pathetic comments. And for the record, people only make them to get hundreds of likes. Apparently, it works.
-
First comment comments
Like stop. No one cares if you're first. Can't you comment something like "Oh my God, this video is amazing, keep it up," something on topic? I don't care if you're first.
Objectively, they're worse than the Who's watching this in (a certain year) comments, but I see first comments less often. Sometimes, though, the first ten comments under a video are all asking about the year, month, or day.
These are people who feel like they've accomplished something just by being the first to comment on a video. It's amazing what dumb things people will pat themselves on the back for.
-
Copy and paste comments
Unoriginal, repetitive, annoying, and way too common. What's up with people and these types of comments? THEY'RE NOTHING SPECIAL! They're just comments with faces of characters or random quotes. Any word in the dictionary that defines "stupid" describes these comments.
-
"Don't click read more" comments
These are a newer type of comment, and I already hate them. Why shouldn't I click? It's like saying, Don't click a button to vote for Hillary Clinton!
It's just text, not a real spoiler or trick. It's a complete waste of time.

Comments from angry kids
How to spot a little kid on YouTube:
1. They have a Minecraft profile picture.
2. They get easily offended if you say the slightest thing about something they like.
3. They have horrible grammar. Did I miss anything?
I saw a comment from a Gen Z kid saying nobody cares about Atari. He's obviously clueless.
Now they have a Fortnite skin as their profile picture.
-
Comments created only to receive likes
Examples include: "Hey, like if you agree that such and such was awesome in this video," "Get this to 100 likes and I'll destroy my dad's laptop," "One like = one plate/bowl of your favorite food," "One like = one prayer," or "I got my FIRST LIKE! Wait, why is it blue?" It's like good content being buried under junk.
Here's an example:
"If this comment gets 100 likes, my mother will buy me an iPhone 7."
Example: "I've hacked this comment so you can't like this."
This is just another like-seeker!
-
Comments from haters that hate on one thing way too much
Five Nights at Freddy's and My Little Pony are good examples of topics people irrationally hate on.
This is the worst. I've seen some comments where people hate on one thing way too much.
-
"Can I get likes because it's my birthday?"
Some people even lie about it being their birthday just to get likes.
-
Comments from butthurt fans
For example, on an Onision video about "Dumb Song Lyrics," when he mentioned Twenty One Pilots and Melanie Martinez, a lot of fans got butthurt.
A good place to find these is on ScrewAttack's Death Battle videos, like the Goku vs. Superman one.
"How dare you insult my favorite YouTuber or celebrity? I've never met them, but I'll defend them to the death anyway!"
-
Comments not even related to the video
One time I was watching a SpongeBob video on YouTube, and I saw a comment about how Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. I love and follow Jesus, but Christianity has nothing to do with SpongeBob.
I was watching a My Singing Monsters video, and someone commented about Undertale. What the heck?
An article about music is posted, and the comments are about cryptocurrency making people rich. Right, sure.

Copying and pasting the entire lyrics to a song
Those comments annoy me to no end! They are in song videos. They are unnecessary and pointless, especially since the lyrics are IN THE VIDEO! I would do anything to get rid of them permanently.
-
?
Girls room: [text here] Boys room: [video]
This comment is boys trying to be quirky, then they will turn around and complain about pick me girls.
-
Death threats
Do they realize this can genuinely scare some people half to death?
-
"Came here because of (insert video)"
I hate these comments. I come to check out the discussion about how amazing or beautiful the video is, but instead, almost every YouTuber is just saying they came from some other video or anime.
Exactly! No one cares. It would be fine if there was just one comment about it, and everyone could reply there. We don't need 10 comments saying, "Who's here from Geometry Dash?"
The only reason they came here is because they want attention and validation through an arbitrary number of likes.
-
Comments with bad grammar
Every Reaction Time fan's comment seems to lack punctuation or use the wrong version of "your." It drives me crazy.
I cannot stand bad grammar - it drives me insane.
Honestly, it's probably 8-year-olds who hate school and fall asleep in class.
Every video has at least one comment like, "Please sub to my channel."
-
Spam comments
When you upload a video, you will get many spam comments like, "Great video! You can check my channel for NCS music," "I found a working hack! It works! 100% works! (insert hack link)," or "Great video! Please come to (insert channel name) for more videos!" Sometimes, they might even hack your account and replace your content with inappropriate material. Most spam comments are found in one video. Spam comments are the worst.
I used to get plenty of those. They're so annoying, and they're mostly from scammers.

"Who's watching this in (a certain year)"
-
Emoji spam comments
I can't even read what these comments say. I had to scroll for literally a full minute just to get to the actual message.
-
Comments from people that believe anything the Youtuber that they are watching tells them
-
"Whoops! I dropped my bag of illuminati" comments
Thank God these are becoming irrelevant!
-
Spam
-
The time waster commenters
For example:
"Well, that's 5 1/2 minutes I won't get back." Like, dude, if you didn't like it, just move on! You also wasted time writing that comment - 30 seconds you won't get back - so why bother?
You just wasted 900 minutes of my time.
-
Darude - Sandstorm
For example:
A: What's the name of this song?
B: Darude Sandstorm!
These people are clearly lying. The ones asking for the name genuinely want to know the song playing in the video.

Gibberish comments
I hate these. They mostly show up on stupid nursery rhyme videos.
I sometimes look for those weird bootleg nursery rhyme videos, like TOYS in Japan.

Comments about how the worst part of the song is the end
