  • No 'one person, one vote' here in Australia! AV FTW!

  • Religious radicals are never noted for honesty.

    Here on YT, we also see: religious hypocrites are the most likely to remove ratings and censor comments.

    You'd think they'd realize that only magnifies their lies,

    but we expect such dirty tricks from stupid brainwashed pricks.

    After decades of passive TV, people now flock to interactive YT for antidotes.

    The internet age brings free thinking to the fore!

    It also brings religious vermin out from under rocks.

    SHINE THE LIGHT. EXPOSE THEM

  • some are simply agenda-less ~ can wrk both ways ~ actually

  • I feel ya dude ~ 

  • This is why Americans are so fucking stupid ! They live under authority

    and have a fucking great statue of Liberty ! Is there

    anyone that could possibly be so stupid as to think that they are free

    living under rule, authority and regulation ?

    Do you want to be free or

    do you want to live under

    rule ??

    Do you want to Live at Liberty or not ? dont try and say you can be at Liberty under authority - authority is law - do you want to be at Liberty or not ?

  • What despicable individuals.

  • These very people who go around engaging in this behavior likely see themselves as moral Christians, but it only speaks volumes about their Pharisaical hypocrisy.

  • there just pissed that there god does not exist

  • One thing that I love about all these religious fanatics is the fact that even though the constitution clearly state freadom of religion & that nothing dealing w/ god was added till the '60's which was technically illigal that they are still trying to convert everyone to there religion, if you think about it they are religious fashists.

  • I worked in Belgium, like 6 months, 4 a koppel of creationists as a household aid since the woman is a 90% invalid. Nice people who gave me lots of extra dow and pressents. My idea is that they are beyond cure like realy mindsick psychos. No way they can be reasond with. I think it's in their genes.

  • cdk007 Hahaha James bond Fail

  • How extreme believers could go lol. They amaze me with their stupidity :D kinda entertaining in a way haha.

  • My latest video is out. The Evolution Of Votebots. If anyone has any actual evidence please let me know. Thanks.

  • Ratings and democracy are overrated. They only reflect popularity. We know talented/high IQ people are a minority while the majority consists of uneducated, ignorant, low IQ individuals. The entire rating system must be changed to reflect more important aspects of the video. I think that if you are a scientist, your vote should count twice: one science point and one popularity point; if you are an artist: one art point + one popularity point; and so on. If you are nobody - one popularity point.

  • Creationists are definitely not above subverting election integrity, obviously. Anyone remember the Gore vs Bush presidential race?

  • Ya but for all you know the people that are in charge of Youtube share the same Ideas as Creatatards.

  • Is there any real evidence to suggest that this voting bot had anything to do with creationism, or that the person that engaged in this was a creationist? If there is, then forgive me for saying this, but it seems like condemning an entire group for something you don't even have evidence a single one of them has committed, sort of sends the wrong message. Even if one creationist does something, it doesn't mean all do. It's like saying all Muslims are suicide bombers, the logic is just incorrect.

  • evil done in the name of god...votebotes=suicide bombers. When will they get it?!

  • Well theres a quite common way to stop bots, but i dont know if its possable with the size of youtube. maybe they are just lazy

  • with false flagging and votebots infesting youtube, how is it that youtube spends its money... they waste it on  the "2.0 beta" channel, instead of say NEGATING THE EFFECTS OF VOTEBOTS / FALSE FLAGGERS

  • Heh so if you get an average of 100 votes per day then one day you get a spike of 1k votes and theyy're all 1 star that's not something fishy? But anyway these attempts are futile, Tf later videos have 20k votes and an average of 5 stars ^^

  • I agree it would be "fishy" to get a large amount of votes in one day, in one direction. My point was specifically that in this case the evidence does not support it being a bot that did this.

  • Thunderf00t has dozens of videos and probably all of them were votebotted not only 2 as you think. Secondly youtube has algorytms in place to hinder or slow down attempts at macroing, so that also can explain why its not so fast on the videos presented and lastly, we're talking about creationists, since theres no difference between a creationist brain and that of a bot it was probably someone that spent 6 hours registering a multitude of accounts and spamming 1 star votes.

  • I didn't mean 2 to 20 votes per hour total, I meant per video. I'm not sure what algorithms youtube has in place for hindering macroing, but in any case, since the numbers are so low, as you say in the end, it could easily have been someone (or several someone's) manually clicking, which was my point. So Thunderf00t is doing what he likes to preach against so much: making a claim without sufficient evidence (that it was a bot).

  • votes are limited per account over time. for even a bot to make votes, accounts are required a user has to make the accounts, link them to a bot and let it rip. it'll vote as much as it can with the accounts it has access to. just because the moron doing it is too lazy to set up enough accounts for it to vote through does not mean it's not a bot.

  • Hah, somebody had the audacity to vote bot this video. At least I think so. It has 4 1/2 stars which should not be the case.

  • I don't know if I agree with your suggested solution, the moment some sort of order begins to be implemented from the top you have a mechanism for control and manipulation. This leads to possibility of abuse by the respective authority. It remains a fundamental Political Theory problem in need of a clever solution. The internet has beyond a few axioms (rules) no real rules and as such is an uncensored domain, which I believe is valuable part of society which can't be easily found anywhere else

  • Christian fanatics have shown again and again that they have no compunction about lying when it serves their cause. I'm glad to be in the company of atheists--I daresay we're honest.

    And then there are these idiots...

  • yes, but to employ a voting bot to bombard every video you don't like independent of content is undeniably wrong.

    the whole premise is 'one person, one vote' not 'one person, thousands of votes'

  • So that justifies it then? I'm sure gawd would *love* your username btw. ;P

  • Comment removed

  • How about making picture-words appear next to voting stars... Sure it's painful, but it will not only stop the botters, it will also let only the persons vote who REALLY want to vote...

  • Why the FUCK would anyone want that? I HATE that. Why do the letters in those things have to be so screwed up on here? Can't they just make an image file with relatively neat writing on it? NOO they have to put 3 letters on top of each other and tell you you read it wrong. Oh but that's after you spend 15 minutes typing out a well though-out comment and editing it to fit inside the crappy character count, only to have it deleted because you already responded to 3 other people within the hour.

  • Please come with another easy way to rule out the botters on youtube then...

    I said it's painful, but the only easy way out, unless you want to recruit people to manually trace EVERY botter on EVERY video that has been attacked, and we all know how many channels that are =)

  • Creationists have no morality, there is none to critique.

  • Good points Thunderf00t

  • What hypocrites, they will burn in hell... assuming their beliefs are true. lmao.

  • Nice video Thunderf00t

    Dude, but don't worry too much about it...creationist are just smart enough to know they are too stupid to win any scientific argument about creationism vs evolution. So they have to resort to petty and unethical things. Pretty funny when you think about what their "christian" ideals are supposed to support.

  • Can you turn off video voting?

  • you can, but that is contrary to Thunderf00t's idiology on free expression. He makes it pretty clear in his other vids that he doesnt want to sink to their level.

    And by not doing so it appears to have paid off, we still have voting and the rating is good ^^

  • i wish. they wont though. youtube is already putting google in the financial hole. my guess is that its only a matter of time before it's dropped altogether, so why should they care what happens to you?

  • Actually it just so happens that your videos suck, and thus everyone votes them with 1 or 2 stars.

  • it's not the same thing, foo! a vote bot is one pissed off person. thousands of people downvoting is thousands of people. ever heard of one man, one vote? i'm probably wasting my time.

  • Yes OF COURSE we rated 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 stars a "creationist" video because most of them just talk bullshit. But one thing you forget. WE NEVER USED VOTEBOTS. We expressed our OPINION by only rating, nothing more. We never try to censor you, we just express our opinion. But you, you little shitheads try to do anything in you're power to silence free speech and science just so you can live you're tiny little fantasy.

  • two wrongs do not make a right.. and we dont care what you guys say why would somone like thunderfoot make bots to give you 1 stars, if he fails in his messege nobody goes to hell.

  • I agree with most of what you've said except for when you mentioned the land of the free in which I can only guess you mean the united states of America, just a small reminder that the internet isn't only found in America. some of the vote bots are on servers located in other countries, so mentioning country's is irrelevant when talking about voting on the internet.

  • When was voting respected in US anyway?

  • Man, Youtube is turning into a warzone, at least the free speech part anyway. I definitely agree that voting down videos that reject theism and critique the flawed science of Creationists is censorship and it has to be stopped. Five stars for an insightful vid, Thunderf00t

  • @Xzero89 Keep in mind, theist videos tend to get voted down by atheists, too. It's not a good thing.

  • Prior to the creation of the universe where did the Pink Panther get this porn?

  • Oh the Pink Panther is eternal - he does not exist within the Universe.

    Some would say that matter, time and space is eternal - but it makes much more sense to say that matter, time and space are finite, and that the eternal porn jerking Pink Panther is eternal, and he created matter, time and space - oh, not to mention the Earth 6,000 years ago.

    How can people not see that?

  • I have always enjoyed your videos and wish you well in your fight against the frightened few.

  • I will check out cdk just cuz thank you

  • Wow, I never knew votebots existed, thats a really cheap and underhanded thing to do to other peoples videos >:[

  • always opting for the easy way out. fucking creationists.

  • Keep it up Thunderf00t.. there are lot more people on your side

  • Creation, I.D., critical analysis of evolution, and teach the controversy, can't wait to see the evolution of Creation Ad Nauseum. Wait< that's it! The next Idea should be C.A.N. Creation Ad Nauseum. Argue till they puke thats my motto.

    I expect nothing but censorship from this type of mindset.

    Keep fighting the good fight Thunderfoot!

  • Creationists are disgusting human beings.

  • narrow minded thing to say. But since you can not wrap you head around the possibility of another viewpoint, I can have pity on you.

  • Dear southwest 82

    I have no issue with people who have another viewpoint within the realm of possibility (e.g. Christians who accept the Universe is billions of years old but believe in a God).

    But people who preach arguments that are factually wrong (creationists) don't have a viewpoint within the realm of possibility because their beliefs have been proven wrong.

  • The same applies to adults who preach that 2+2=5 or snow flakes are made by god. They dont have another viewpoint, they are just talking shit.

    Creationists are disgusting because they will stop at nothing to inflict their bullshit ideas on those who dont have the intelligence to know any better.

    I cannot take pity on you because you have chosen to be ignorant and attempt to inflict your ignorance on others.

  • " I do not believe in God therefore it must be wrong"

    How did your little mind deduce that I dont believe in God? No doubt because you ignored what I actually wrote and instead saw the words you wanted to see which is probably what you do when you read a Science textbook.

    I dont believe or have faith in Science, I simply observe what Science has proven. Similarly, when I am sick, I listen to what my Doctor has to say, because medicine has been proven to work.

  • By definition you dont need faith in something that has been proven to work. i.e. I dont need faith or belief to walk to the other side of my room, because I proven countless times that my legs work. But your religion doesnt carry any proof, so YOU have belief and faith and NOT ME. Science hasnt disproved the existence of a higher power, but it has certainly disproved beyond any doubt that the Earth was not created 6,000 10,000 years ago.

  • Creationists turn a blind eye to Scientific proof because it doesnt fit their comforting beliefs, and even worse, they feed this rubbish to our children in order to validate their beliefs by numbers.

    In summary, you and I are nothing alike. Please do not ever compare a decent human being with a low life like a creationist, it is a very low class thing to do.

  • you cant PROVE god first of all...one should seek to PROVE before DISPROVING

    crationists want you to BELIEVE BEFORE any proof is given rather than work with the scientiffic method...thats insane and illogical brainwashing...silly sheep

  • killerkitty - intelligent response!

    southwest - i think the Pink Panther created the Universe by ejaculating into space whilst watching porn. You can NOT disprove my Pink Panther theory, therefore you CANNOT disprove his ejaculation creation is a viable option.

    You need to learn how exchange arguments with adults - the people posting comments here are not the children whose minds you are used to abusing.

  • Ahm, i can't seem to grasp what point you are trying to make, all your doing is flip-flopping words and trying to force the "troll" guilt on "Brad28UK", Brad28UK fully explained what he needed to. You on the other hand are simply trying to stay alive by writing pathetic comments.

  • Sadest thing really is that I don't think any of us are surprised by this behavior from the creationists.

    After all it has been a good and tried method of theirs for centuries to try and stamp out all voices of rationality when they didn't have a strong case to back up the lust for power, control and choir boys.

    NOOOOOO-ONE EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!!!

    Well we do. We have see it too many times up through history, and are seeing it still today.

    :o(

  • They way ahead is to teach children about reality, rationality and critical thinking rather than indoctrinating them with false hopes that life is just a story and whenever they screw up, god will be there. That way our future generations will be more efficient and slowly eradicate the pest religion is.

  • great work thunderf00t, we are all supporting you.

  • "just so you know Youtube is a worldwide site just not in the land of the free"

    People worldwide have access to it but YouTube itself is located in America.

  • They have always been cheating sons of bitches. its how they operate.

    But you know what Thunderfoot? You're famous and well-respected enough here that people will see through the ratings and judge the quality and content of your videos for what they are, not merely based on comments.

    Youtube has to do something about these votebots.

  • *not merely based on ratings I mean.

  • "The land of the free! This the land of the free! Why, if I say anything that displeases them, the free mob will lynch me, and that's my freedom. Free ? Why, I have never been in any country where the individual has such an abject fear of his fellow countrymen. Because, as I say, they are free to lynch the moment he shows he is not one of them." -- DH Lawrence

  • Please keep posting videos despite these underhanded tricks. Thank you.

  • It might work if any account that submits the same vote number to more than 10 videos in a given time period is blocked from voting for a period of time the same way you are blocked from commenting more than a limited number of times in a given period of time. Wont stop the "bots", but will make them linger long enough for sock puppet accounts to rack up some serious online hours.

  • I'm not surprised by any of this. It's clear that they're frightened. It started with them disabling comments on their own videos, and disabling ratings after they gave themselves 5 stars. But that wasn't good enough. Apparently if you can completely shut your opponent up, you win. What schoolyard bullshit tactics. Love your videos TF, I refer xians to your page quite a lot.

  • It's not harassment, it's a minestry. Like all other minestries, it's roots lie in bullshit.

  • Is YouTube known as "the Land of the Free" now?

  • no. But ironically enough it IS located in the land of the free.

  • America isn't the land of the free. Cops in this country are assholes. People have more personal freedoms in other countries. We don't realize this because we have our heads shoved up our own asses about American pride that we don't see what other lands have to offer.

  • right. we compare ourselves with india and think that makes us great, while we conveniently forget that Great Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Italy, Sweden, Switzerland, et cetera, exist.

  • I live in the Netherlands and I consider myself to be more free here than in the US. This is despite the legelization of weed in the Netherlands. I pretty much know no one which smokes it on a regular bases and I even heard a rumour that the percentage of people who smoke weed is larger in the states than here.

  • You betcha! America has more pot heads percentage wise than places where it's legal. And also it's easier for teens in America to obtain illegal drugs than Alcohol. I guess prohibition hasn't taught this country anything. I personally don't care for pot but I believe if you it illegal people will want to do it more.

  • Not only that,but when peoples lives are essentially ruined by the laws against drugs and they forever carry that blackmark on their record they usually have little choice but to turn to drugs and alcohol to make themselves feel better.

    I wonder when America will grow up.

  • Likely due to population difference?

  • Then we must stand up, bring about our opposition to what is going on. Our supreme laws were made to protect the American people, that they have the power to tell government what to do, to limit government, to show they are not afraid of replacing them whilst instituting new government.

  • I think that,rank wise,Holland is the freest country.

  • Yeah, just that NETHERLANDS (Holland is just a region of Netherlands) is being filled to it's throat with muslim islamofascists. ;)

  • there is that problem to. :(

  • And what is 'something'.

  • Tell me, how do they work?

  • evidentally ...atheist arent a minority as you would suggest . idiot!

  • I find it strange that the only reason they have votebots is because of atheist science, lol. That goes for all their modern comforts as well, like antibiotics, kleenex, shoes, fridges full of cold food, the technology to build their stupid churches, etc...

  • The only way creationists can maintain their absurd beliefs in the face of increasing pressure from various external sources (most significantly the OVERWHELMING evidence being provided from various fields of scientific research) is to attempt to censor anything and everything that does not accord with what they want to believe. The fact that they must resort to this in and of itself is ample demonstration of just how flimsy their apparent "truth" is.

  • What do you expect from ppl who think Barack Obama is a terrorist?

    I find it interesting how many creationists are on youtube. I've yet to meet one in person. Their percentage must be low. It seems most religions have found a way to rationalize evolution into their myth.

    These creationists must all be in the south and home schooled.

  • Wise words

  • I likes atheists they are the only ones who do not judge me for being gay or for kissing my boyfriends in public fuck church Do as thow wilt!!!

  • I am a Roman Catholic but I disagree with the churches condemnation of gays. I don't mind gays nor do I see why the church are against them.

    Since Jesus spread the message that "God loves everyone", then why can God not love homosexuals?

    I suspect that when Christianity was first formed, to say that people could not even tolerate gays is an understatement. So I presume that the anti-gay stance of Christianity was brought in to make the religion more acceptable to an ignorant world.

  • i'm an atheist, but actually i was a bit against homosexuallity (family shit) until i learned its a genetic characteristic of the individual. so if its something that can't be changed then we must all be tolerant about it, that's something i learned from school (obviously not from the bible).

  • Actually its not a bot.

    Those idiots have communities where they make a post saying "Anti-Islamic stuff" has been posted here. The other community members(who usually have nothing better to do than be part of this cyber-jihad) report the site as abusive or flag the videos.

    They consider this religious duty and consider themselves better muslims for having voted against the video.

  • Wow... I was just trying something... I was giving thumbs-up to all the comments here... and YouTube stopped me after about 15 or 20... saying i would have to wait 5 mins or so. Thumbs up to YouTube programmers and victory over the Creationist thumb-downers!

  • these people are lame. they ultimately have no effect on these videos whatsoever because these videos rock!

  • Obviously you're one of the sock-puppet accounts that Thunderf00t mentioned, and you're pretending to be an atheist and trolling just to give us a bad name.

    Grow up, will you?

  • Tsk, tsk, flamer. You still need to grow up.

  • I'm not a sock puppet, I thought that you were because I didn't realize that your comment was sarcastic.

  • This reminds me of the episode in the twilight zone where everyone thinks their neighbors are aliens. Grow up people.

  • Are you sure that is not Bush and his Neo-con cronies ? they seem to be able to change votes.

  • fascism

    pure and simple

    PLEASE KEEP MAKING ANTI-CREATIONIST VIDEO'S

  • hear hear

  • the bot sucks, but who looks at these ratings? does it elevate the vid in the scroll bx? I rate every 200th vid i watch, love it or hate it. and i dont pay attention to ratings of those i watch. but i'm majorly impressed you caught out the "bot behind the curtain" stuffing the ballot bot.

  • That is all that crazy Satan Claus believing MoFo's can do when logic, reason and rationality stare them on the face.

  • That's fucking low. What can we do?

  • OMFG!.....minus the G.(I am atheist now. Trying to get rid of bad habits.) I just 5-starred all of your videos! I hate creationists!

  • Sorry this is happening to you :(

  • Fucking creantionsts.

  • There is however no proof of a bot. Some people might just not like your videos? [Seems weird, I love them, but some might :-)]

  • Gunnermac70

    I don't think he cares about the ratings.

    He's just showing a point about creationists

  • Keep up the good work Thunderf00t. And thanks for all the great videos!!

  • And mad at cdk007 too? I don't think so.

  • Oh the fury of a woman scorned!

    :)

  • Every video I've seen of yours has been 5-star worthy. They'll keep getting my votes. Zealots don't decide what I watch and what I don't.

  • Your video's made me vote 5 stars for them all the way. And this is coming from a person being on YT long enough and to never have voted. Keep up the good work!

  • well creationist have the right to vote to

  • Certainly not a god-given right to vote. It's a function of the YT software (man-made) and some folks choose to use that function to troll others. It's abusing the intent of the system.

    Bottom line: voting is a privilege - if you abuse it, you'll lose it.

    BTW, loved your channel description.

  • lol thanks well either way it was probably kids fooling around.I doubt it was the work of creationist 12 year kids messing.

  • Offcause they have a right to vote, but once you start using bots to push the rating in a direction that you like, you're nothing but a dick.

  • wow

  • I'm behind you brother keep doing what you do.

  • No, he isn't, because he is using his vote and if you really disagree you can use that the majority of people support Thunderf00t and CDK007.
