  • Yeah but I think youtube needs to take the 'mark comment as spam' off because people abuse it. I go through video comments a lot and someones comment will be marked as spam for no reason. Then I have to unmark them when I see them and it's annoying.

  • jasmin62115 iz a spammer and will say she "likes" ur vids... and say she could help u get more subs.. she sends you to some stupid subs buying page 4 fake fans like countless other fake youtubers.

  • sorry about my swearing, but i swore coz of how mean spammers can be :( can u pls delete the last comment of mine, sorry |)

  • i had tp close a account coz of FRIGGIN SPAM! fuck spam:(

  • I am so GODDAMN sick of spam. I know of one account that has already spammed his way to the top, and has even asked for donations from users. He laughed at us when we told him to stop spamming, replying that he actually got 6 more subscribers in doing so. I would so love to pull him down by the ankle and have his face hit each and every rung of the metaphorical ladder.

  • Good video, I only wish that there was a permanent solution to remove these spammers like carriecarrie02 and others like her who seem to have no life but to live to spam and be a general nuisanse to youutube and society in general.

  • man, thanks for clarifying the difference between spam and self promotion. This is causing me to realize that I am in some ways a spammer. I agree that many ppl see spam as a way to gain attention, whether positive or negative. I used to spam just to piss people off. But I promise not to spam again.

  • lol

  • hey! i did that and it didn't work! it just closed it ! 

    JOKING im not that dum

  • lol... I wonder how many people have really tried it though? I know there are people out there on youtube that will believe anything... I've seen them :)

  • wtf

  • i put friend lock on on both my comments and measage because people are spamming all over i deleted there comments.

  • FUCK YEAH YOUTUBE SPAM!

  • Ron Paul/Ron Paul/Ron Paul!

    Spam the spammers!

  • SPAM!

  • people if you recieve hatemessages or spam on your channel dont repspond to it,that's what they do it for so be smarter.

    wonderfull video,

    take care

    +Lord Knightkon+

  • SPAM!

  • Replying more than 100 times to the same piece of spam e-mail will overwhelm the sender's system and interfere with their ability to send any more spam.

  • spammers are annoying but people posting responses are not that much better, I mean what can you guys do?

    Whine about it? Give me a break lmao besides spam taste good

  • lol ur putting this on a spam thing you fucktard

  • its called irony you nonce :D

  • Agreed

  • ALL spammers should burn in Hell!

  • Im a TEENAGER and I am Stopping Spam.... So does that make me an Adult?

  • Im a TEENAGER and I am Stopping Spam....

    u just answered ur own question...

    in general:

    13-18 = teen

    18+ = adult

    u may act like an adult, but u dont necessarily be an adult =P

    what if a 5 year old stopped spam? xD

  • Spam sucks. These fucking kids need to grow up.

  • fuck spammers

    great video

  • awesome video awesome music EXCELLENT point- I think i'll "spam" this video to the top! j/k (although it's tempting- these FUCKS need to be taught a lesson) maybe a good beating or do it the hippie way- spin `em out on a gram of PURE LSD-25 and see if they're "around" to post in a YEAR.

  • Feature this, youtube faggots!!!

  • I'm so going to do that, I run a search marketing company so this is going to be VERY valuable to all of my clients thanks Vox!

    Feature this! :)

  • amen to that

  • I like your choice of music

    good stuff

    cuts right to the point of what these pretenders are doing

  • five stars from me

  • why not just flood their profiles if they spam their videos, so people will know. they can delete all the profile comments but it will at least annoy them and take a long time.

  • this needs to be featured...

  • nice sunglasses :) I agree...

  • Yep but have the spam button now so hopefully that'll learn the little buggers.

  • sauronsEye: amen to that.  =)

  • Good points, totally agree with your vlog.

  • Your idea of leaving 1 star if someone has been abusing the comments to oncrease their own rating is good. That way, what they gain on one performance measure, they lose on another. Seems fair! Like it!

  • awesome video as always.. nice to see someone using their voice to make the site better.. thank you.

  • I have finally been able to watch your video. But now any comment from me about spammers is irrevelant seeing that YouTube has a new "mark as spam" button. I'm too slow on things. Sigh.

  • that american idol phone call guy did too! and he got featured and everyone is praising the faggot.

  • can you believe that???? Don't even get me started. I wish I added him in this vid (along with spike the spammer). The sad thing is america idol phone guy made a second vid about how he wasn't going to spam, and then in his 3rd and 4th went back and spammed again...

  • Nothing like a litte Rage against the Machine to help get our frustrations out! ;)...Great job!.

  • hey yeah it like sucks that ppl spam but as long as the developers of youtube are dumb enough to keep anti-spamming measures out of the hands of the true people of youtube, then we really have no power. However, as of 6-23, we now have that power. Power to the people of youtube !

  • jackbauerpowerhour: amen to that. I like when everyone here gets involved in preserving youTube for the people here. And yep, 6-23 - we got the anti-spam power (I think I did an edit in the description).

  • You sir, in 6:36, said everything I wanted to say, and thus saved me the time of making a similar but probably not as good video. Then on top of that, you throw some Rage up in the background. Awesome.

  • alexvita: Appreciate the comment. Ya, one of my main foci(?) is compressing content as much as possible. It always starts as like 10, but I try to compress into 4-5min. That way people can view more vids. This was a little longer because I wanted to preserve the entire Rage song.

  • I don't go to thefeatured section on the videos. I sub to over 50 people and add a few more every week. I watch those on my friend list then go to my subs. I don't like the spammers in the comments of the vids I watch and if people started spamming my vids I would delete them.

  • It's interesting to see how people actually surf through content here on youTube. But now that they fixed the subscriptions, that's helps a bunch. I just like to see ways for people with new talent in a particular category to gain the chance for recognition.

  • Excellent commentary. I'm relatively new to this forum, yet I've always been diconcerted by the amount of pointless and senseless whoremongering of pointless wastes of time.

    The novelty of the internet is obviously new to the majority of these users, and they have not yet been privy to common online courtesy and protocol.

    Hoefully things will only get better.

  • pyrotechnocracy: well, it's great that a) youTube put a "mark as spam" link and b) suspended certain self-spammers (mocao included). However, this is still a young medium and has plenty of potential. In essence, supply is driven by demand; so if people demand high-content vids, those will flourish.

  • you make the best vids , ironvos, you ought to make a proper big movie- i'd watch it :)

  • WTF? Where are the other 100 comments?

  • I dunno Vox. I came here to respond to my original post about how i went through and marked a lot of the smosh comments as spam ((I really don't like them,)) and the comments had been reduced from around 1200 to 100, but it seems a comment thinning has taken place here, too...

  • Maldron: ya, it's too bad because it actually had some well-thought out comments.

  • Huh. Looks like they're back.

  • youtube only has 36 employees and the ones screening videos are college interns, how pathetic is that ? some college puke being the judge of videos !

  • dude when are you going to make another FAST AND FURIOUS movie ?

  • replying to peoples coments is not spam, typing xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is spam. people have every right to reply to their coments.

  • I agree.... just tossing around ideas. I like when comments can become a ground for ideas that pertain to a specific video

  • Love your videos. I totally agree.!!

  • I'm with you and Aeric, man. I've already created a video and I am joining the crusade against spammers. I'm just fed up with all the ad's and comment floods.

  • kobashii: cool man; I think if enough people care, we can get youTube to listen and do something about it. Appreciate the support.

  • I know how I could cheat my way to fame. Kill mel gibson, dress up like him, get a gibson face mold, or plastic surgury. All that would be left is the voice.

  • browneye2021: wow, that could be the most elaborate scheme I've ever heard of. :) Although wouldn't it be easier to get a sex change and look like a stripper?

  • BEFORE THIS VIDEO SOME PEOPLE DIDNT EVEN KNOW ABOUT SPAMMING BUT NOW U GAVE THEM AN IDEA SO YOU'RE NOT A PART OF THE SOLUTION BUT THE PROBLEM

  • afgh123: before this video nobody knew about spamming? LOL. That's funny. There have been videos that actually SHOWED how to do it (linker83). I'm just trying to come up with a solution...

  • WELL I DO HAVE A RESPONSE TO YOU

    SOME PEOPLE SIMPLY HAVE TO SPAM BEACUSE OTHERS GET UNFAIR EXPOSURE ON YOUTUBE BY GETTING FEATURED AND SOME PEOPLE THAT HAVE GOOD VIDEOS GET LEFT OUT SO THEY HAVE TO SPAM WHILE ALL THE CRAPY VIDEOS OF SOME USERS ARE GETTING UNFAIR OVEREXPOSURE THE NEWER MEMBERS WITH BETTER QUALITY VIDEOS GET NOTHING IS THAT FAIR?

  • afgh123: yes, I realize that some people need exposure, but you think spamming their vids to the top is the answer?

  • Precisely.

    It's like people in a movie theatre getting up to see better. The people behind them stand up to see better and those behind them, and them, etc. Pretty soon, everyone is standing up, seeing just as much as before, except now they are all standing up when they could just be sitting down comfortably. Imitating bad behaviour to even the score is a pointless endeavour.

  • I hate spammers,prats! And the vid was brilliant!

  • I dig this.

    Nice work.

  • spammers on here aren't as bad as those on myspace. smh.

  • MSEBONYSEDC: spammers are bad on myspace too, but it's getting much worse here, and fast. That's why we as a community need do to something about this.

  • But do what? It gets annoying though like in a video in dedication to the dead rapper Proof some guy was like get money for surveys or some junk and i'm like are you serious.

  • Right on preach it bro it does piss me off but hey that up to the person who does it if they want to cheat themselfs out of the joy of earning their spot

  • drewstrange: unfortunately, I don't think the lack of earning respect on this medium is a motivator for decreasing self-spamming. Although I wish it were that easy.

  • So true I can't believe that the youtube staff are stupid enough to feature spammed videos they're basically encouraging users to spam their videos. I think the reason spam pisses me off so much is that it means the crapper videos get featured and the good videos made by honest users get ignored. Thanks for making this video theIronVox

  • macked: exactly, and if it doesn't stop it will be nothing but a contest of who can spam their stuff more and faster. Which decreases the amount of content related to one's personal tastes, and takes way more time to sift through the spammed crap. But selfish and short-sighted users don't see the future of youTube (if it continues).

  • Wow. I think this is the first vid I've seen where the comments haven't contained users promoting various websites and it's actually discussion based. Good work :)

  • crystalrosekat: you'd be surprised what can happen when people actually clean up their own comments section, even though clicking the "remove comment" is such an arduous task. I think we as users should DEMAND this from everyone we watch.

  • I think your 100% right about the spammers. alot of the videos in the most viewed sucks.

  • Mouthwh*re got beaten up a lot in High School so he's still a little bitter about life. Just ignore him.

  • I may be the only person on You Tube that hasn't gotten any spam. None whatsoever. Either from myself or from others.

  • I haven't gotten any, either. I hope I never do.

  • suttsteve: ya, but the real spam I'm talking about is spamming your own video to the top. You get spam when you're at the top. And those that have top vids should take responsibility and remove that spam when they can

  • like i said to wing...he/she said it best that instead of being on website (making a video or commenting a video) that we should be out there in the streets giving our view the old fashioned way.

    technology has made us so paralyzed in so many ways that we refuse to see it.

    this is the easy way out of everything.

    internet. email. websites. videos. paypal over the net.

  • And what do you suggest? That we unplug our phones and all move back into caves?

    Look, I understand what you are saying, and yes, maybe technology is shaping a colder and more distanced society. But then, technology also has many ups, like medicine or a more democratic access to information, or cleaner water, or Starbucks. Okay, maybe not Starbucks.

  • Good vid dude. I never really thought of someone doing that, I mean.. you've -really- gotta have no life to do something like that and spam your way up to the top. I'm going to be checking out that little 'view all comments' button all the time now on popular vids. Hopefully something will be done to stop these spammers. Yet another great vid with a great announcement. A job well done.

  • hi!theIronVox^_~i wanna be yer girlfriend!!!

  • yeahhh, in fact another guy made a video about spam http://www.youtube.com/watch?v­=18Lghheezuk (featuring macgyvergg)

  • hope you didnt re-flush every single time...

  • lol

  • Thank you for this video and the ideas discussed in the comment section. Should be required reading for new members such as myself to understand more about what this community is.

  • I see some video's where they are not self spamming but are allowing others to freely spam their video's. Even some of the featured ones.

  • Turks23: ya, that is a problem I've found as well. Personally I think they should clean up their comments every once in a while - it's not hard to click the "remove comment" button. You don't see any spam here do you? That's because I removed it

  • OMG if people spent more time on actually making the world a better place than engaging in internet wars adn spam and anti cheating efforts the world, would be a much much better place...

  • wingeyes: I completely agree with you, but what do you propose? - allowing people with ill-morales to spam their videos to the top, leaving less room for videos with more meaning? This is also about preventing those types of actions not just here but anywhere. It's about creating positive communities.  Unethical people create larger world issues, which pose problems upon it.

  • i know, :) i am just saying the amount of time spent both on spamming, complaining about spamming, internet wars, it is quite disconcerting :) But i totally get your point.

  • Excellent video. I now feel guilty to think I demonstrated how to spam a video to top of Most Discussed back in Feb/March. Ooops. My current strategy to overcome this is for us all to push videos we genuinely admire further up, with genuine comments. And maybe use obvious self-spamming as grounds for flagging a video?

  • The "dialogue" with mouthwhore was classic. It's amazing how most folks think that just becuase it's the internet or youtube, the content can never be serious.

    Keep on flushing. :)

  • 1)go to user "macgyvergg"

    2) email him directly from his homepage. He's the worst spammer and his vids totally suck.

  • NordicIrish: macgyvergg spammed his way to the top and NOW IS FEATURED!!!!! And people are actually appreciating his videos. Frankly, I think some people think just because he's featured he's better than he really is... <shaking head>

  • This is awesome. Everyone needs to see this.  I love that you actually point them out, then flush them down the toilet, cause thats where they belong.. Cause it needs to be done! I had no idea the Youtube song guy cheated. Shameful

  • damn straight, dude! i'm a 1 star all the spammers!

  • I agree with everything here.

    *goes to spam www.twdforums.com* :-[

  • hells ya

    good work

  • good stuff man, appreciate you voicing stuff lots of people are thinking.

  • your adorable

  • That video of that girl complaining about her car problems probably stopped up your toilet it was so bad

  • poor tom..thats a horrible way to go eh?

  • i know Its terrible "Sigh"!

  • U like flush en flush en flush em all day butt dey be commin BackUp agen! Pftsz! Damm YouTubeTurdBallz clogging up my Bowl! LOLLZ! i phuckin hayte them as much as you guys do (my spelling is lovely ahh)

  • Oh, man.

  • never thought of it that way. all that flushing made me think of a ninja turtles story. shredder's big plan was to use these flying beetles to flush all of new york's toilets simultaneously to cause flooding havoc. obviously the turtles "didn't cut him no slack"

  • and the irony is: if you talked about anything except spam, nobody would watch or comment on your video. you're riding on their coat-tails. in a sense, you profit off of their cheating. as you would put it" "Does this make you just as bad?"

  • lewdahbs: how am I profiting? So, that must make the news just as bad for riding on the coat-tails of stories they cover.

  • this is news the way jerry springer is news. (it's done for ratings, not content).

  • lewdahbs: it's done because I'm trying to raise some awareness and hope that something that gets done about a problem that annoys me, and many many others. You can say what you want, but I'm telling you why I made it.

  • so, you wish to regulate spamming, rather than simply clicking on "most viewed" to see which vids are popular? it's not fair, right? i actually understand your point of view. here it comes...*BUT*...continued next comment:

  • once you begin regulating a medium, the process of regulation accelerates. youtube is already BANNING the asses of certain users. why? because they hurt other users feelings. why introduce even MORE regulations? this place is already becoming fascistic. just click on most viewed....

  • lewdahbs: I understand that you enjoy clicking on most viewed, however I disagree completely that the solution is to ignore the problem and let people spam away. I don't want youTube turning into a fascist regime, however if you don't believe in any type of regulation then you believe in anarchy. I think there are benefits to most discussed and making a few changes could benefit this category. No need to be so negative or condescending

  • i don't intend to be condescending. it's just my crappy writing style. i wouldn't bother writing anything if i didn't respect your ideas. respectfully but wholeheartedly disagree with them, that is.
