Trying to decide whether to keep bothering with YouTube comments.

  • On the one hand, I’m not really impressed by the general tone you get over there.  I derive some mild amusement out of deleting the goofier comments, but it’s a bit of a drag.
  • On the other hand, no comments means less traffic on that site, and YouTube makes its money off of on-site advertising, right?  Or does YouTube not make money?  Anyway, it seems vaguely like freeloading.
  • On the gripping hand, it’s not like I’m getting anything like value-added coming from that direction anyway.

It’s interesting: my general indifference is more or less fighting with my ingrained tendencies towards sadism on this one.  Which is odd, because typically with me sadism wins: I suspect that it’s because the hate mail that gets generated via that avenue is, well, lame…
