I agree with your statement. Whenever I tune into the ER nowadays, if I see a bunch of comments that are desperately trying to lecture Jeff and Vinny about how to play the game, I really lose interest and feel that any comment I make is insignificant. The ER is all about fun but a lot of people don't see it that way, unfortunately.

Not to sound like a troll, but if you don't read the comments--they can't affect your enjoyment of the ER can they?  I kind of go back and forth, because I think most people genuinely want to help out, but get frustrated that their helpful comment might go unread in the sea of other comments.  On the other hand, sometimes it does seem like P4 snobbery.

I watch completely for the story commentary; I kind of freak out sometimes when they've done some bad fusing but I've never instructed them so I agree with you there. I don't want Jeff and Vinny to follow every hardcore P4's instructions and know what? I think if it hadn't been for all of this "true ending" stuff everyone's been trying to get through their heads I think they would have gotten just the normal ending.  
 
I definately would have gotten the normal ending if I hadn't been aware of the true ending; and I don't think it's going to send the Endurance Run off on a good note to see them struggle through another week of a monotonous dungeon when the normal ending is so perfectly fine to send the E.R. off. 

Really, the "ALL CHIE'S GOOD FOR IS LOOKING LIKE A DUDE YOU SHOULD USE NAOTO EVERYONE SHOULD USE NAOTO I LOVE NAOTO NAOTO NAOTO FUCKING NAOTO" comments are getting on my nerves more. I knew they were going to show up the moment she became a party member, and I'm not surprised, but still. You didn't see me pressuring Jeff and Vinny to use Kanji when they got him, did you?

I haven't been reading the comments and I think I gave one suggestion the whole time. Seems like the best suggestion, really.

why do you even read the comments? They are always full of spoilers and people just being douche bags. I stopped looking at them around episode 4 or 5. Maybe when its over i will go read some forum posts about it, but until then i know they will just annoy me and ruin the game. As i do with all games I'm currently or want to play i avoid any and all info about them once they are out while I'm online because people are douche bags online and they like to ruin other peoples fun.

@crusader8463:
I read the comments on and off because, occasionally, there's an interesting/humorous/fun comment to be found. The thing is, arguements don't give me a case of RAGE. None of this is really rage induced, more just an appeal to return to the way things once were. I know its not impossible because for the majority of the ER, everyone's been pretty chill (there are always exceptions, but on the whole I believe this to be true).  
 
Also, I'm not too worried about spoilers, seeing as I've beaten the game twice. Thanks for the heads up, though!  
 
@AkasoFailsOnGiantBomb:

I can understand how you feel. The character bashing has gotten a bit out of hand and I can't really see the point beyond riling up other users. I'm not the biggest fan of Naoto either -- child detective seems a bit too out there for a game with such "normal" characters (which is one of my favorite things about Persona 4), and I tend to like the less srsbsns characters as a rule to begin with -- but I can see why she's an immensely popular character, which is why she might have a larger share of wacky fans compared to the majority of sane ones. It's annoying and the people bashing aren't exactly blameless, but sometimes you're better off turning the other cheek, y'know?

 
 Why piss off just because of some irritating comments?Just skip reading the comments and you are fine.I also sometimes give the comment  when someone give the wrong facts about Persona 4.I dont understand why some of you get irritated just because someone gives "irritating advices" on how to play.Without those  "advices" I believe it will take almost forever to beat certain bosses.It is better to be defeated by enemy once and then read some comment and apply them to win the battle rather than keep ignoring all those "irritating advices" and keep fighting the enemy with the same tactics although you are already defeated for 50 times.I believe watching 50 ER episodes fighting the same boss is more irritating than watching 2 ER episodes fighting the same boss.     

I actually think that it was pretty great around the middle because people were just sort of "nudging" Vinny and Jeff towards their objectives instead of almost yelling outright that they HAD to do something or else the game would end badly. It really got on my nerves after a while but I'm not sure if it's something that can be helped. People will be people and this is the internet, so... yeah.

Giving competent, helpful advice to our endurance runners is perfectly fine. Coincidently, a huge part of the endurance run is the viewer's ability to interact with it. Leaving comments about experiences with recent scenes, courteous tips on recent gameplay struggles - and if done right, a possible hint on upcoming obstacles - that the endurance runners could read and possibly incorporate in the endurance run, and would ideally, make everybody happy. However, I've witnessed several people accuse Jeff and Vinny of being incompetent, because they either made a mistake or had a difference of opinion. I couldn't tell you why they act like this, my only possible explanation is they like being assholes and or ignorant.  

I try not reading the comments and just enjoying the ER. But then again, I'll read em for a chuckle. 

I agree. I've seen lots of comments. There are many people who are taking this stuff way too seriously. I get so irritated that they even have the right to call Jeff and Vinny "stupid" (I've run across a couple of them already) just because they do something wrong. I mean, I kind of cringe whenever they do, but why is it such a big deal? They're not the ones playing the game, so why should they care? Let them do their own thing.
 
Anyways, it's good to give them helpful advice on what they should do next, or that they should correct this and that and not spoil whatever comes next, and not be an asshole about it. But lately, people just want to see them get the good ending and just spoiling them stuff left and right. It's really getting out of hand. But really...this is the internet, so I guess you can't really stop douchebags from being douchebags. Man, sometimes I just wish Jeff and Vinny would get the bad endings on purpose just to piss these immature bastards off...but then again, that might not be such a good idea...

Yeah, I say complete Ignore that endings guide that has been quoted again 3 times in the last 24 hours and see where it goes. "
