I think the majority of people that send death threats and just completely uncalled for comments don't know shit about music. I see more "If that was Bieber (insert horrible thing from video here)" comments than you can count. It's fucking ridiculous how demented and fucked up some of these guys are. Worst of all, they don't have any justifiable reason to attack these kids as they aren't exactly music connoisseurs. I'm just so fucking sick of people saying horrible things to people they don't know, let alone someone else's kid. Just, why? Why are people so stupid and cruel?

^Does anyone actually take random youtube comments seriously though?

You'd be surprised but there are loads of people that take them seriously it's like they don't know what the internet is or maybe they forgot

I've got no beef with Ark. If rich parents want to throw their money at Ark and have them produce a video for their kid, more power to Ark. I actually think all things considered they produce some pretty decent videos. Why a parent would want to do this is beyond me.

As for the death threats and stuff...It's the internet. If the parents or kids are taking the threats and insults seriously, they need to check themselves.

Noone takes YouTube comments seriously but Rebecca Black has had people find her home address and phone number where they have been sending death/rape threats. That, I think, is ****ed up. Otherwise yeah I'd agree with you, the internet is the internet.

Not really, but I'm just sick of people bringing up Bieber on every video on youtube. It's pretty stupid.

Thom Yorke

I won't argue with that.

A thirteen year old kid shouldn't be expected to "get over" a death threat because "it's the internet". People on the internet do tend to be degenerate fuckbags, but that knowledge doesn't make them right in their actions.

Thom Yorke

I was talking more about the sheer quantity of hateful comments she was getting on youtube. It becomes alot less personalized when it's like that I think. And I doubt she'd be reading through them all anyways.
