When Does YouTube Go Too Far?

It is already clear that most people find these things pleasing progress. No need to illustrate your point just read the comments they are with you.

Someone twisting your arm on anyone else's to make all of you watch? Don't like? Don't watch it. Pretty simple.

Reminds me of when people lost their s*** over Howard Stern. Turn him off if it makes you ill.

This was not happening before money was offered to YouTubers.

Once upon a time, when VHS was a thing, there was a television show with Bob Saget.

Your reasoning is why the whole world stinks now. I don't watch but all the little kiddies do and where does it lead. Same with your Howard perv.

Right. Because prior to YouTube, Bob Saget and Howard Stern no one did anything that someone else could consider poor taste. Just because people don't share the same puritanical sensibilities as you isn't their issue, it's yours.

I suppose the solution is to live your life like a veal in some darkened box where no potential unseemly sensory input can find and corrupt you from your superior morality.

Everybody wants to be in a Jackass movie...

And since they can't, they make their own.



Humans.

Smart as a rock, they are.

OH NOES!!! That train is going to crash right into that car!!!

I watched that before I knew that Baba Ganoush was a food. So it’s inexorably linked to MXC for me.

That's too awesome.

I wish someone would bring that show back.

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

I think I’m gonna go home and watch some clips. It’s been years.
