YouTube Comments: Think Before You Post

Placido Domingo is great. If you believe many of the comments on Youtube, however, you would think that we’ve all been fooled.

Look, I know that opera inspires some strong feelings and opinions. But please think about a couple of things before you go shooting your mouth off on Youtube:

  1. Those are real human beings.
  2. It doesn’t make you look smarter to harshly criticize the failings of others who are really trying to do their best for you.
  3. It doesn’t feel good to receive a compliment that is at the expense of someone else. ie Wow, you are so much better than so-and-so.
  4. A single video does not represent the totality of someone’s artistic achievement.
  5. I dare you to try and do better…and then post it on Youtube.
