YouTube Mass Hysteria

When fake or sensational videos are uploaded to YouTube and propelled by alarmist users into the mind of the general population, spawning urban myths, group-think, or panic.
"Dude did you hear that there is a hidden camera in your cable box watching you jerkoff?"

No way that's totally "YouTube Mass Hysteria "

Youtube Educated

When you believe you're educated about a certain subject by watching several Youtube videos, when in reality, you don't know shit compared to most people who do actual research, and you're just parroting what you heard on a Youtube video with no real citations or sources. Mostly popular with 9/11 conspiracists, global warming deniers, etc.
Tim: John, I'm telling you, global warming is a total hoax, I've seen several youtube videos debunking it!

John: No Tim, you're just youtube educated, and have no idea what the fuck you're talking about compared to people who actually have an education in studying the climate, and have done the research.

YouTube Effect

The phenomenon in which one navigates to a single video hosted on Youtube (either by URL from email, friend, forum post, by searching, or otherwise) and find yourself clicking on related videos until you wake up hours later to find yourself watching Chocolate Rain for the umpteenth time or enjoying the musical stylings of Rick Astley.

The YouTube Effect can apply to any other video, image, music, etc. site that shows related files or pages on whatever page you are viewing.
Shit, I told myself I'd only watch that ONE Lady Gaga video on YouTube, but before I knew it, it was 3 AM and I was watching mindless crap like fat ladies yelling at skater kids. Damn YouTube Effect...

YouTube Comments

Such a cesspool of illiteracy, misogyny, racism, idiocy, hatred, violence, barbarism, intolerance and general lack of humanity has not been seen since the middle ages.
Youtube comments, approach with caution lest you wish to be stripped of all that makes you human. The unreputable proof that there has been no evolution, god made us retarded.

YouTube

Arm-pit of the Internet

Videos
The videos are decent quality. Some are completely pointless and piss-poor quality though.

Comments
Home to some of the most vile and venomous comments you'll ever find.
Comments are usually written by people who shouldn't have never been given a keyboard.

Opinions
Don't even think of trying to post your opinion. People will try to argue with you with their simple-minded grammar-poor idiocy.
On a music video:
Rockr1234: I ♥ thees band!

DaVeTheGenericUser: I don't like this band too well. They're ok though.

Rockr1234:Fcuk u btich I hpoe u get aids an dye from it!!!1111 u suck oldman ccoks and you love to drnik you're mom's pusy juwice.

DaVeTheGenreicUser: You should never been given privileges to come on YouTube.
