On youtube, the thumbs up/thumbs down feature was added for a reason- so helpful comments stay at the top and flame stays at the bottom. I'm tired of looking at the comments and seeing things like:
thumbs if your reading this in august 2011
or
ⓣⓗⓤⓜⓟⓢⓤⓟⓘⓕⓨⓞⓤ©ⓐⓝⓡⓔⓐⓓⓣⓗⓘⓢ (thumps up if you can read this)
or
thumps if you saw 0:01
Half of these friends can't spell for stuff and can't tell the difference between a "thumb" and a "thump". One is an extremity whereas the other is a noise. Worst of all, these friends push all of the helpful comments back down with their downright handicapped, thumbwhoring comments, so it's more difficult to find helpful feedback. All you're doing by thumbwhoring is making youtube worse by shunning those who post helpful comments. If you see a comment asking for a thumbs up, please give it a thumbs down to discourage this kind of behavior. [/rant]
