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?

Please help answer this sexy music video question

A visitor to the site asked the following question: "I'm looking for this eastern european video in which three girls are dancing in some kind of middle easterm fairy tale setting. A few guys enter the room and a kind of orgy starts. You know which one I am talking about?"

Does this sound familiar to anyone? If so, please comment below.

Biggest mistakes made in "sexy" music videos

As a follow-up to my post on my rules for sexy music videos, here are some of the most common mistakes that people make when making sexy music videos. When I say "mistake," this may very well be intentional. But there are many videos that I don't post on this site, or at least they are less sexy, because of the following:

1) Sexy girls should always be the main attraction, not a decoration in the background. This is very common with hip/hop and reggaeton videos. It almost seems like the artist is trying to show off how cool they are to have sexy girls in their videos, rather than actually trying to make a sexy video. See Rule #1: more screen time for the sexy girls, preferably 100%, will make a sexier video.

2) Some videos make it seem like whoever edited the video was afraid to make "too sexy" a video, so they show some sexy girls, then some buildings, traffic, and other random boring stuff, and then show a few more sexy girls. Again, see Rule #1. If you hire some sexy girls for a video shoot, why would you put shots of buildings and traffic in your video? What's the point?

3) Don't put kids in your sexy music video. I'm not sure what people are thinking here. The typical video goes something like this: Sexy girl dancing in bikini, sexy girl dancing in bikini, sexy girl dancing in bikini, 8-year old kid just hanging out, maybe in bikini as well, another sexy girl dancing in bikini. This is just weird to me. This rule is pretty simple: no children during sexy time.

4) Don't do the sexy video bait-and-switch. If you're going to make a video where it's the dudes getting all sexy, whatever, go ahead, I don't care, although I won't watch it. But don't be an asshole and make a video that starts out showing sexy girls, only they turn out to be guys, or the girls leave and it becomes a video of guys. I've seen several videos like this and will not post them to the site.

Any other big sexy video no-no's that I'm leaving out here?
