A creator rants about YouTube annoyances: "first" comments, pointless shoutout-swap videos, staged pranks, and manipulative like goals. He admits his own burnout juggling homework and basketball while trying to keep uploading, then ironically promises to make the exact videos he just trashed if he hits 500 likes.
What's up guys, welcome to Things I Hate YouTube Edition. Hopefully I edit that in, if I don't then this is gonna— anyways, let's jump right into it. And the number 1 most annoying thing about YouTube is when you spend all this time making and uploading a video and then you just see like 50 comments going, "First, first, first, first, first!" Nothing would make me happier than if YouTube implemented a system that if someone left a comment saying "first," their computer would just explode. Like, literally explode. Just like, "Poof!" Just, and I don't care if they, just— The next most annoying thing on YouTube is shoutout Sunday series. I hate those, I hate 'em. And honestly, if you do one, please just delete your channel. You're annoying. You see, shoutout Sundays typically start like this. One day, a YouTuber's like, "I'm not happy with my sub count. I don't know why I'm doing that." Anyways, so a YouTuber's unhappy with their sub count, So then they just go spamming on everyone's videos, "Hey, go to my channel. I'm doing a Shoutout Sunday. You can get free subscribers." And it's pointless. I hate Shoutout Sundays because you don't gain anything out of the shoutouts and they just spam other people's videos saying, "I'm doing a Shoutout Sunday. Come subscribe to me for a chance to win," when you don't really have a chance. And even if you do win, you're going to get 5 inactive subscribers. It's annoying. Just quit. Delete your channel. Blow up your computer or something. And the third most annoying thing is prank videos. I hate to break it to you, but prank— And the third most annoying thing is prank videos, and I hate to break it to you, but prank videos are staged. They're fake, they're not real. I saw a video titled "Gonsexual Gun Pulled in the Hood," and I promise you, I promise you, put a million dollars on it, cross my heart, I don't know, that that's a friend from like high school that that guy's known his whole life, and he's just like, "Hey, here's a fake gun. I want you to walk up behind me and point it at me so this video will get a million views and I can put 'Gun Pulled in the Hood Gonsexual' in the title." They're staged. They're staged. I've actually went with my friends out and tried to do pranks, and I'm telling you, it's nothing like these other people did. Like, we tried to do 'em legit, and it's just, it's not even comparable, the footage we got to them. I didn't even upload it because the standards right now for prank videos are so high because they're so staged and fake that if you actually tried to make a real prank, it just would not be accepted because, you know, I had my friends doing it, and like, the people they were talking to would walk behind something, or they— it's not as easy as it looks. Whenever you see a prank being filmed and like the people are perfectly centered in the camera the whole time, everything just goes perfectly well, you know, it's just staged. It's staged! The next most annoying thing is like goals. I despise like goals. They're so annoying to me. And, you know, I'm okay with a YouTuber being like, "If you enjoyed the video, just leave a thumbs up." You know, reminding your viewers to like the video's not bad. But when you start off a video super over-energetic and like, "Hey, can we get 500 likes?" and just It's annoying, like, why are you telling me what you want your goal to be? 'Cause I can only leave one like, I'm not gonna sign into 500 accounts to help you reach that goal, no one cares. And that's not even the worst part, it's like, but when they go, "Can we get 500 likes? If we do, I'll upload a prank video tomorrow." That's the most annoying part, I hate that. 'Cause it's like, no, you're gonna upload that video regardless of whether or not we hit it. Just, I don't know, I just, this is a pen, And I hate like goals. Alright, I should probably redo my take where I complain about like goals, but it's pretty late and I have a basketball game tomorrow. It's an away game and I gotta make tomorrow's video if I wanna upload tomorrow. I gotta do my homework, haven't even done that yet. And, uh, you know, going to school and just like not failing with basketball, just like 3, 4 games a week, whatever, ridiculous, and trying to maintain a YouTube channel is It's just like, it's hard and I'm tired and I still have homework and I'm just gonna end the video here. That's the video guys, if you enjoyed make sure you leave a like. Let's try to hit 500 likes, that's my like goal for this video. If we hit 500 likes I'll upload a shoutout Sunday tomorrow and if that shoutout Sunday gets 300 likes then I'll upload a prank video, gone sexual in the hood, gun pulled with just, it's gonna be awesome and make sure you comment first because Just, you know, that's so amazing, and I'll see you guys later.
