Cursing/Swearing in Videos...

Basically, do you think this turns people away? Or does it make videos better? (In some cases)

I think it's good if used when it's necessary. Shane Dawson is good at using it, but not over using it to the point that it's annoying. I think it definitely adds to videos. As long as it's not overdone.

Anyway, how about you guys? Do you/would you use these words? Also, does it turn you away from watching others videos if they swear/curse?

Some people think that swearing means it is funny. I disagree. It can be funny, just like any word in the right situation. Personally, Thrashimation won't be using it because we want to stand out as quality content, and to those who think it is bad to swear, we want those viewers :)
 
I think it's okay to curse/swear a bit in a video but i think if it's overdone it could change peoples opinion on you.
 
I try not to swear in my videos. I'm most cautious of the big ol F-bomb, but those swear words at times also present an excellent opportunity to insert the sound of a duck quacking :)
 
swearing is ok i don't personally swear nor do i in my videos. Some people are funny without it and some people need those sentence enhancers. I like to believe if i did swear i would be hilarious
 
I am against swearing in general. I'm fine with other people swearing in moderation and where appropriate, but I don't take part in it myself. It goes to say i also want to keep my channel PG so that any parent that may catch their child watching a video of mine won't make them stop watching it only because I was swearing.

You definitely attract different audiences depending on the fluff words you say on your channel and I aim for people that watch videos without swearing.

Also hey, if you don't swear it doesn't mean that you lose the viewers that do, but if reversed you would lose potential viewers.
 
To me it depends on your demographic. I swear in my vids and my viewers go from 13 to 60 years old.

Too MUCH swearing, however, won't impress anyone but little kiddies who think it's the best thing ever. For effect, use sparingly.
 
I think that if it is used naturally without being put in for the "sake of cursing" than it is completely fine. It has to make sense or else it diminishes the comedic value it intended to serve. If it makes no sense, it's pointless.They are words and I think they add comedic value to many things when used correctly.
