5. YouTube can be a real cesspool, sadly

It's why I mostly stick to retro computing channels or game show channels. Even then, the comments sections can be ugly. But I find if I stray out of that area, a lot of people find any excuse they can to make racist, homophobic or transphobic comments in reply to the videos.

Several weeks ago, Steve Lehto did a piece on the trans woman who was wrongly jailed because of a sand-filled stress ball that the cops tried to claim "contained drugs". She sued for false arrest and won. Steve's piece itself was respectful and kind, but even then people couldn't wait to go into the comments and say "That's a HE, Steve" or "It. IT." or the like.

I don't know why YouTube has to be so damned rotten... But it is. And some of us keep waiting for them to keep their word and start cleaning that cesspool up.

So such vile ads running on YouTube? I'm sadly not surprised.

I wish an adblocker was an option for you. I've used one for years and I'm glad I do. If I saw such an ad, it'd probably shoot my blood pressure through the roof.
