You beat me to it Matt. I was going to make a rant vid about the very same subject. This new feature that allows viewers to rate comments is a stupid little gimmick and I have no idea why a site such as YouTube would implement it. It's something one would expect from a crappy video file-sharing site. As for the porn spam, I have been hit so many times this past week. Each time I block the spammer, a new one comes in under a different username. Now on to comments..... I've lost a load since the new feature was introduced.
Why the hell is a site such as YouTube, owned by a billion dollar company called Google, screwing things up so badly? YouTube is losing it and needs to get their act together!!
Great rant by the way. I will still continue to watch your videos and will send you messages every now and then.
Take care!!
