Touchy Touchy, YouTube

Aeric Winter ponders the nature of people overreacting to videos on YouTube.

Do you also think that people on the internet can be oversensitive? And if yes, why?

Why did you take It matters down then?

[AericWinter]

It was just getting too old. I had made that video for a specific event one and a half years ago! I left it up to promote the discussion, but I didn't feel anything new was contributed over the last few months. So it didn't survive the last spring cleaning. I can share it with you, if you want.

GooD ViD. Sehr interessant.

I think the Internet allows many to exist in a little bubble and like "road rage" are far too quick to over react. I mean CAN you imagine a real world conversation behaving like a text comment, chat room or an internet forum? It's like a room full of deaf people suffering with tourettes syndrome after drinking too much coffee. In fact that would probably make more sense than your typical YouTube "hater". Das Internet ist Abfall.

Well, I wouldn't go that far. But yes, your road rage comparison bears a lot of truth.

why does the husband scream at his wife, when he comes home from work, where hes been pushed around by his boss?

why do people enjoy watching violent movies, while living in a peacefull "police state"?

why do people on public transports and large towns in general seem somewhat grumpy compared to people in the countryside?

why can irrelevant things piss you off, when you are having a bad day?

;) thats one thing .. i am thinking of

ps: i think for some people jealousy will be a triggering factor

[AericWinter]

It's come up once or twice.

Before YouTube, I didn't even know the guy.
