Hi Everyone,
One of my pet-peeves are channels, from small to big, that just do not reply to their viewers. I'm thinking about compiling a list of at least 10 reasons why this happens. If you can think of other ones, please let me know.
(not in any particular order)
1) The channel is overwhelmed. They may have gotten lucky and posted a viral video and they do not know where to begin to reply to comments.
2) The uploader is primarily a cell phone user. Replying to comments via a mobile device is clunky.
3) The uploader is not a watcher of videos so they do not understand what it is like to comment on a video and then being ignored.
4) Bad typist. The person is just a horrible typist and it takes forever to just peck out a few words.
5) Trolled-out. This is a person who has given up even reading their comments because they focus too much on the troll comments.
6) Comments disabled. This type of uploader doesn't even want to give you a chance to leave a comment.
7) Corporate-type accounts. These are big companies that upload videos, but do not have anyone authorized to handle replying to comments.
8) Website drivers. These are users that mostly use Youtube as a host for their videos. The videos are to drive traffic to their websites or they expect their embedded videos to be seen on their website.
9) Facebook drivers. These are people who only use Facebook, Twitter, etc to communicate with.
10) Pseudo-celebrity types. These are people who think they are celebrities. They find excuses why they are "too busy" to reply to even a handful of their viewers. Many of their fans actually buy into this and will defend them.
