is it stalking if i get mad when you don't make new vids? hahahahaha

you should check out LarryAdmin on youtube. He also goes by the name of Dixoft Remix, owns a server (the Bruces quake 3), him and his fellow nerds, oops buddies hack and follow you around the internet. Creepy cunts of the highest standard. Never ever play on that server if you don't want a creepy fucker like him following you about. I don't even want to know the fuckers, that's what creeps me out.

I do have a habit of commenting on a lot of different people's videos. I just view it as interest in what these people are saying in their videos. Most often I'll just say "great video as usual" or something along those lines. I like to be encouraging to people that I think put out good work. Is that stalking if I am doing it on all or most of their videos? Guess it depends on how comfortable those people are.

I myself do not comment on everything I read or listen to. However, I really enjoy YouTube (and twitter somewhat). No, I think restriction is useless when a person goes public about their lives. However, no one should ever stalk anyone physically. The internet connects us all, and it is nice when people look at or hear what we have to say about ourselves or our interests. It is a compliment when someone takes the time to say something to us about us, (good or bad), they took the time to do it.

If you're making something available for the general public, and the general public consumes it... that can't really be considered 'stalking.' Infact it confuses and amuses that some people spend half their time promoting the crap out of their exploits and the other half worrying that people might actually be paying attention.

Thanks for all of your input, Snark. It was really helpful in hashing out the answer for me. And welcome back to YT... or what's left of it...
