YouTube - entertainer, therapist, battlefield

I listen to a lot of music in YouTube. At times I follow the video or the lyrics, but sometimes I just scroll down the page and read some of the comments people have left. I guess my taste in music has a direct connection to the kind of comments left there but it could also be because of the common age group that take the time to write a comment. I have observed the commenting patterns for a while now and here I give you a summary of what I've noticed.

This is purely based on my experiences and focuses mainly on popular pop songs that usually tell about love. Yeah, that describes probably every other hit song in the history of music. No, I haven't listened to all of them. The easiest to recognise are these four following groups. Not all of them can be seen in every video, they are just something I have gathered along the way.

First, not as common but still qualified as a group of mine, are the foreign commenters. They might have some grammar mistakes in their comments and they usually praise the song itself. These are not annoying or disturbing, they don't get disliked but they don't start a conversation either. They are cute and honest and they often mention the country that the writer is from.

The next group is the type of comment that can usually be found in very emotional songs, most likely when the subject is breaking up, loosing someone or missing someone. It describes a real-life lovestory and how badly it ended and how much it hurts. Written by both girls and boys, usually they point out the direct connection between some part of the lyrics and their own story. Almost every other of them expresses the desire to get back together with the loved one and nearly each of them is extremely desperate. I get that it can do good to write about your problems, but seriously guys, is the comment section of a YouTube video the best place to heal your broken soul? I am just asking. Creates a certain peer group for those who love the song, not necessarily irritating, sometimes even touching.

The third type is definitely annoying. These people take minutes of their precious time and type a comment, their sole purpose to whine about the quality of the video/ the quality of the sound/ the spelling mistakes in the lyrics. If it really bothers you so much, why can't you click on another video of the same song and move on with your life? These complaints gain answers from the person who uploaded the video apologising for it, which is like speaking to a deaf person apparently since people just keep complaining and finally, the video itself has a million of those annoying comments that pop up and where the maker verbally screams at people to shut up 'cause there's nothing they can do about the mistakes anymore. If it isn't good enough for you, make your own videos, damn it. 

The last type is just ridiculous but purely caused by the previous comment group. These comments complain about others' complaints. Do I really need to say more? If there's one comment that says for example: "The quality sucks, so does the tv-show the soudtrack of which this is, I am here for the song only", the following comments most likely are: "I am sorry for the quality" from the one who made it, followed by a minimum of ten comments like this: "How dare you say this show is bad?? It is my life, my everything and I love it with all my heart:" 
Right.

I am not trying to make fun of people who like commenting on YouTube videos or undermine the meaning of what matters to other people. A little sanity would be nice, though, and a common sense of what is appropriate to write and where. 

I chose to link this song now simply because it is beautiful. I have to add to my theme that very often reading the comments ruins the mood you get from the song, so I'd advice everyone to read them at their own risk.
