More stuff that pisses me off

I've mentioned a few things that people do when making "sexy" music videos that piss me off. But fans are also horrible on YouTube too, and it's not just making incredibly stupid comments on every single sexy music video. Here are more asshole moves or just stupid behaviors on YouTube that no fan should ever be guilty of for any reason whatsoever.

1) Don't download an artist's video, and then reupload EXACTLY the same video to YouTube while the artist's video is still on the site. You are literally stealing views from the artist, because when someone searches for the video they may find your video first instead of the artist's.

Exceptions to this rule: if you are uploading a higher quality video than the official version uploaded on the artist's channel, or if you edit the video to make it sexier, you may be on shaky ground legally, but you are doing the world a service, so go ahead. Also, if you upload a bunch of videos from different artists that would otherwise be difficult for people to find, I appreciate what you are doing. But it would be more ethical to make a playlist that gives views to the official videos uploaded by the artists.

2) Don't upload a shitty quality video and call it "True HD" or whatever. If you need to upconvert the quality to get the video to full-screen the way you want, or something like that, that's fine. But don't tell people it's HD unless it looks as good as a real HD video.

3) Don't upload a video without identifying information. Sometimes you find videos that say "Sexiest music video ever!!" or something like that, and yes, it may be a very sexy video, but if you want to find out the name of the artist or the song you're out of luck. You may be able to use the lyrics to guess, but really, making someone guess the name of the video they're watching is just an asshole move. So stop this.

4) Don't be deceptive with your screencap. Sometimes you click on a video because the screencap looks like it's a high quality video, but it's just a still photo with the audio of the song. I don't care if you want to upload an audio-only video, but try not to go out of your way to fool someone into clicking when they're actually looking for the music video.

5) It's not YOUR video, so don't put YOUR ugly fucking watermark on the video. There have been numerous times where I have decided not to post a specific video on this site entirely because there was a huge distracting watermark on it. So please don't do this.

Any comments, or anything else you've seen on YouTube that pisses you off?
