A few weeks back, videos started getting deleted from a few of my favorite channels for having a decent amount of profanity in them. Sometime today I'm assuming, Youtube decided to change any curse words present on the comments underneath a video to a bunch of unnecessary asterisks. I feel like I'm on a disney forum or some shit. In case you have yet to see this for yourself, here's an example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4N78JfTy-OU

Now, thankfully, you can change this by clicking the "options" link next to the comments header and un-checking hide profanity in comments. Why youtube would think that its users would want profanity hidden in the first place is beyond me.

Youtube keeps getting lamer and lamer, either way. I thought the whole point of the "voting" system on comments was to delete unneccassarily mean/vulgar comments on videos. Obviously, if someone got on the lion king video and said "fuck this gay shit", it'd probably get tons of thumbs down... yeah, anyway...

This is what happens when cool stuff goes commerical.

As I was saying to someone the other day, if you want to appeal to a whole bunch of people, you have to start with those who are easily offended.

I don't have the asterisks, I guess it depends on the country of the viewer.

I saw someone call another a f*cktard (my asterisk) and didn't click anything.

It's a pain that so many videos have been pulled from there. Used to be a nice way to hear a song without having to open soulseek and download it. Oh well.

Youtube just keeps getting worse, they're removing so many videos now.
