Garbage

I'm so annoyed by Youtube. In all my years of using the internet, I never had to turn off the screen because something disgusting popped up. I am not in the habit of just wandering around websites for entertainment.

However, a few days ago, I was looking thru youtube for 'Baby's first steps' videos for Filip to watch. One of the 'related' videos looked like a regular funny clip (not related to babies though). I clicked it on, and the most terrible language came from it, and it started getting really violent. I muted it and turned it off as soon as I could. Of course, by then it seems like it had been on forever!

Just seeing a few seconds of that video, disturbed me for 2 days. I can't imagine what kind of damage has been done to the people that made the video. There were even children in it.

So I guess youtube is a resource I could do without. It's just not worth it.

Ugh, we really have to filter absolutely everything today, don't we!?!
Sorry you went into that looking for something innocent & fun & then ending up with a terrible upset.

Typical of people: invent the internet to communicate with friends long distance. Cool!
Then, invent internet porn and websites where people can do whatever they want without any monitoring.
Not cool at all.
Typical.
