The more popular youtubers get the more kids get attracted to that youtuber basically and also theres a spam filter that you can setup with curse words, links, etc.

Teenagers set examples to younger kids by acting a certain way. If a child feel insecure in some way they might attempt to act like teenager, but if that teenager is being Bully, picking on younger kids, blaming children for things, those children will just find other people to pick on.

Well, someone they admire could also play a factor in a kid's behavior. Many young gamers may watch SkyDoesMinecraft or Markiplier behind their parents' (or parent/guardian(s) in some less fortunate cases) backs, so they act like they do in their videos.

Good thing I grew up with John Lennon and not YouTube.

True, absolutely true. I agree.

Over time, things seem to get more accessible to younger audiences. That includes the internet. That and the comments section will vary a lot depending on whose community you're viewing and what kind of video it is.

You blame this on children. Ridiculous. If you are so bothered by it, leave. But remember, you were was the kid, being annoying. Screaming in the grocery store, crying over the broken spider man action figure, raging because you lost a checkers, and even now, getting so upset because children are overtaking YouTube.

Shippers.

How it happened? Someone sprinkled salt all over the Youtube comments.

Since when was Minecraft a "mature-oriented" game? It was ALWAYS a building game. Just look at the bare beginnings. All they had was a way to create cool buildings. THEN they added survival, but it was still advertised as a way to build. I don't know about you, but I don't play Minecraft for "intense combat" or "gritty themes". I play it because I want to build awesome towers and stuff. Just a question: IF Minecraft was for more mature audiences, then how would that look like?

Don't mean to be rude, just stating my argument.

If minecraft had remained purely the survival game that El Knighto believes it to be, it would have been completely outcompeted ages ago. There are many different games that do the survival thing as well as minecraft does, if not just straight up better.

But minecraft has enormous adaptability, which has allowed it to survive. The idea of letting the community create and add their own content is enormously powerful.

Just look at Happy Wheels, a game with a very weird (and kindof shitty) concept, which has survived and even thrived simply because they are based on their community input.
More recently, the same is true for Super Mario Maker, which was also designed for community content.

Minecraft may not have originally been intended to become what it has now, but Mojang's choices have allowed it to flourish anyway, and community content (whether non-profit or paid) has created an enormous variation.

If minecraft was just vanilla survival (single or multiplayer), I would have stopped playing it 2 years ago. But it is so much more than that. I am only recently beginning to tire of it again, and that is because I'm doing extensive commission work, which always grates at my enjoyment of the game.
I expect to be able to enjoy minecraft for at least another year or two before I move on to something other, such as game design.

ITT: Teens saying how kids ruin everything. Well, I'm just making guesses since I don't know any of y'all!

Real talk though, how does some kid liking something you like somehow make that thing un-enjoyable?

AzrathSo I recently red this thread about how YouTube has toned down its customization but now I came up with questions, what happened to comments?

I accidentally stumbled across some old YouTube videos I when I started watching YogsCast and pewdiepie as well and what I saw was shocking! A normal comments, no hate, no advertisements, no curses, no stupid things, grammar was perfect.

So my questions is, why did it change to worse when everything was so perfect?

What are you going on about? YouTube comments haven't really changed.The only thing that changed are the dank memes, everything else is still pretty much the same. Weebs still weebin, people still saying they hate their generation, FIRST comments, copypasta, arguing, people getting snooty over people's grammar, peaceful discussion about the video. and pretentiousness. Same stuff as now.

Like ivain said, it really depends on the Youtuber. If you're watching someone like SkyDoesMinecraft, you'll find more politically incorrect comments, while a video by DanTDM or PewDiePie will contain calmer, less raunchy comments.

Enough about FNAF, you guys. Oh, and by the way, it's still around, we just don't have any current news on it yet.

Now please read this:

I hate it that there is nothing new in terms of social networks. All is Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Would be nice if somehow a new networks similar to those would rise up and I don't know offer something more than those offer and have an option to earn from videos lets say like on YouTube.

Let's all jump on the "hate the kids" bandwagon instead of actually thinking it through!

When you have a channel like the Yogscast, they don't curse and scream, so the "kids" watching it will, most of the time, not do that. Pewdiepie, on the other hand, does that, so vice versa.

It very much depends on where you go. each community has its own style. Communities like that of Pewdipie, DanTDM and SSundee contain much younger and less mature audiences, so it is likely to find more foolish reactions there.
On the other hand, markiplier and jackscepticeye attract more mature audiences (in general), so you find more mature comments there.

This goes for smaller youtubers as well. The entertainment style and overall level of the community will strongly affect the quality of the comments.
Sometimes this even varies for different videos by the same channel.

It's what happens to everything eventually: kids.
Kids (in my opinion) killed Minecraft, made FNAF something to cringe over, and a lot more including the youtubers you listed.

Because the YouTubers got more popular, and then they attracted kids.

That is what Humans commonly call "Evolution".
