 Hey, what's up guys, so a little meta video today about channel management, I guess So I recently Banned the word for my comment section Which it sounds a little strange now if you if you ever use this word when you are posting a comment your comment will automatically Be flagged a spam So I want to tell you why just because it I don't know maybe it's an interesting story So the word I've banned is the word torx Torx like the screw right? So why did I ban that word? You've probably never wanted to use that word on my channel But so why did I get rid of it now the story goes back to one of my more popular videos is my video? I think it's titled like why I can't stand to use Apple or Mac anything or something like that and the video is pretty Much exactly what it sounds like probably most of my subscribers have seen it, but it's basically outlining the reasons I don't like Apple I don't use Mac products stuff like that and it's all the typical stuff, right now One little aside I make in there is I'm complaining about how a lot of Apple machinery isn't really repairable Like they're made in ways that make it difficult for users to repair them So you have to go to a specialist who specializes in Apple stuff who has all the right equipment They're not very communicative about things that are wrong on Mac computers And that that was sort of pissing me off and I say I think the words that come out of my mouth is something like Apple uses special screws To prevent people from opening Apple computers and that of course is true in case you don't know Apple uses what are called pentalobe screws, which are a special kind of screw that Apple invented I want to say around 2008 2009 it may have it exists existed before that But I don't know of anything else that they're used for before besides Macs They are the Mac screwdriver kind of thing So in order to open up a Mac machine, you usually have to have a pentalobe. There might be other kind of screws But pentalobe is the main thing So I didn't say pentalobe in the video, but the thing is I simply said it was a special kind of screw So I get all of these comments now. Well, let's put it this way If I haven't put out a video any given day I'll see in my comments feed a bunch of old comments from other videos And one of the most commented videos is usually my Apple Mac video It's still one of my most popular ones And of course most of the comments are positive or stuff But of course I get a lot of critical comments and all of them are ridiculously stupid So the most common thing I get from people who are Responding negatively to that video is that they correct my statement about the screws. What they say is You're an idiot because You said that they're special screws, but they're actually just torque screws They're torches is one of the most common kinds of like screwdrivers. So anyone can open that now That comment well as I said before they're not torques. They're pentalobe screws Pentalobe as its name suggests has five little lobes on it Torx screws usually have six points or whatever there and they're a lot more sharper. They're totally different I don't know how you could get these confused, but I get so many people Nearly all of the negative posts on this video are just people know not just correcting that but other stupid things Or like oh Apple isn't bad or why can't you just be taller? Oh, well, let's let me tell say this Um, I don't mind if you use Mac products I don't care the video title as the title said is why I don't use them So I'm not pissed if you use Apple Mac anything. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter to me In fact, I even know people in my real life who know that I made this video and they always like are apologetic about using Mac stuff around me I don't care. It doesn't matter to me But so many of these people on the video will say no, you're stupid. It's actually a torque screw You don't know anything about computers and it's one of those like Dunning Kruger comments that you're just like dude Oh my god I can't even and usually what I do like I get so many of these the reason I finally ban the word torques is Because I totally wanted to weed out all of these totally brain lit comments and the day I banned it I probably got for whatever reason I got 70 the seven of these comments in a row and for each one of them Actually, usually what I'd always do is just respond Penelope just one word Penelope to every single one of them because one you know one of the things about having a YouTube channel even mine, which isn't super big is You get so many comments Even negative comments. I think I pretty much am able to see every comment I get But I definitely can't respond to them and when it comes to negative comments I think before I was a youtuber. I was like, oh, yeah, it's gonna be really fun Like, you know mashing on the negative all the naysayers I'm gonna do a video about negative comments, but it's not even worth the time like I get so many of these things They're just like whatever you just got to get used to it So anyway, I banned the word torques and that's why so if you ever want to talk about torque screws on my channel From now on you have to, you know misspell it, you know Torks or you know a little star with the O or something like that, but you can no longer talk about torque screws on my channel I hope that doesn't offend anyone, but that's that's the reason why and it's honestly saved me a lot of bad comments I already looked at the spam filter and it's filling up with just people who have just stupid things to say So anyway, that's about it. So I'll see you guys next time. This has been a look into channel maintenance So I'll see you guys later
