YouTube Fights Comment Idiocy With Audio Preview

1 views

Two things a person doesn’t always know: Who’s listening and how words are going to sound before they come out. The latter, if we want to get technical about it, is comic from xkcd, where a hacker writes a virus that will read comments back to a person before they post. The target despairs in the end, coming to a long overdue revelation of his own idiocy.

It’s post-modernism meets stick figures. Is that post-post-modernism?

Anyway, it looks like some Googlers are xkcd readers because a short time after that comic appeared, blag,” one YouTube commentator opined:

It’s the DUMBEST FEATURE I’ve seen thus far. There is no practical use for it. None. Zero. Nada. Sheesh. (the audio preview of my own post sounded moronic!)

Ah, Irony, you cruel mistress.
