YouTube Comment Censorship

So i was on YouTube earlier today and noticed all the profanity in the comments were censored with asterisks. Now this wouldnt be too bad if this was a default and you could change it permanently for your profile...but no...even if you hit the save button the next video you watch will have censored comments.  the same goes for the site blocking comments rated lower than a zero...

This truely pisses me off...wondering what other people had to say about this

The comments on YouTube videos make /b/tards look like University graduates.

Honestly most of the comments there are pointless swearing for the sake of it because people can. I welcome our new censorship overlords.

Not to sound like a jaded punk but youtube seems to be seeling itself to "The Man", for a long time it was about people making fun videos for people but now its more about corporate agenda's and not offending anyone.

I go to youtube sometimes but only for specific people who upload awesome shows but I wouldent choose to go there or put my videos there, its becoming worthless especially with the increasing amount of Geo-Restrictions. For example the UK is no longer aloud to view music videos or anything with licensed music (technically).

Alright, so that explains why there are so many asterisks in the comment sections of videos

That's awful, straight up

You can look at comments rated lower than -5 if you want to, although there's usually a good reason they're rated lower if even the tube-tards don't like what they read (although it could easily be someone intelligent speaking sense about something too, they hate that just as much).

Truly, the golden age of YouTube comments has ended.

Honestly, reading Youtube comments will generally cause more brain damage than smoking weed. I could give two shits about them trying censor a bunch of 14 year olds calling each other faggots.

I agree with Hamz.  Youtube is a cesspool.  Considering their demographic pretty much runs the gamut, I'm surprised they didn't do it sooner.

Honestly, who gives a shit? Youtube comments consist on the some of the most rasist, retarded, stalkerish crap I have ever come across. Youtube is owned by a Google, a publicaly traded company. They have a duty to keep things legit, which means censoring all the bored retards that post iq lowering nonsense. 

ha, /b/tards look like uni grads :D i liked that.

yes, i have to say that youtube is going downhill. a lot of times that i try to upload something it gets deleted saying that it has copy right in-fragments. but for some reason other people get to upload the same videos. i tried uploading the game duke nukem forever trailer that came out when they said they weren't going to make the game. some of the comments are horrible. there is a lot of spam, peopel saying hey come check this video i have.

who cares comments are pointless. At least youtube gave us widescreen and HD

Youtube is garbage now anyway. You can't upload anything now because of certain licenses.

The Man is taking over.

Look at the fancy channel page the Church of Scientology got on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/churchofscientology?blend=1&ob=4
All the comments negative to Scientology are removed from their videos.

Youtube sold out.

You read the comments? I usually try to avoid them like the plague. "
