this is the best ytmnd i have seen so far... very true indeed well worth the 22$ you paid to get the msg out there.
f*cking hate the people who vote 1 because they dont get it, or its from a movie or show they dont like, or simply dont have a sense of humor and want their life to end.... some people just dont get creativity/talent.. or just dont have the cpu to process the creative work. i am working on a ytmnd called "what happens when you vote 1" which i'm sure in many ways will reach this target group.
I THINK YTMND IS ALL ABOUT FADS... it is proven in advertising that you need to have continuity, you can't just have random messages all the time. people like it when there is a structure to something, actually one of the reasons why i prefer fads to random tmnds is because you kinda wanna see how far will the next person get it, and there is a joke within a joke created that makes it even funnier... it sorta turns it into an inside joke amongst the ytmnd people :). so stop hating fads
I think most people are drawn to YTMND not because of the unique medium (pict/sound/text) but because, in general, YTMND tends to have a pretty good sense of humour. While this is obviously getting less and less true, it also probably has a lot to do with the best users voting less and too many newbs voating 5. That means some pretty sh*tty users get on the "featured" list and some local legends have been left in the dust. To me this just means get out there and vote more to reward actual good content.
This featured user crap just simply sucks. now, all users featured or otherwise seem to have no incentive at all to create quality sites. why? because the same crap is on the front page day after day. how can you compete with something that was popular 2 days ago and continues to be popular because a featured user made it? well a featured user can take a sh*t and a regular user can take a sh*t. and guess what, its still sh*t and it still f*cking stinks. YTMND has sucked for the past 2 months, nuff said.
I'd kill myself if I became pink. Although, I started that stupid suicide fad, if I did the same thing except now, maybe I'd become pink. (technically.) Tried to redeem myself by leading an expedition to back in time to stop it, didn't do too well. I better not make more sites. I don't want to be pink. Hopefully, someone will see the HUGE comedic opening I am making for someone to say "lol looked at ur sitez no worries about bein pink lolz"
I'd have to say this was well thought-out. I usually tend to stay out of opinion wars on websites, because I'm usually neutral, and confused, on who is right and who is wrong. This is exactly what went down with my Gangsta Alvin ytmnd when I made it this evening. I expected it to meet with 3 stars in the very least, only to get blasted to hell (one guy even told me to get a "vasectomy", though, lucky for him, I don't mention names >:( ) and back. I usually just make a ytmnd, and wait.
