I do. It gets really annoying because it's on every music video imaginable. Who cares about Justin Bieber? Why are people so obsessed with him to bring him up in totally unrelated videos?
It is probably because he has the most viewed video on youtube, even though around 50% of the people, including myself, that have heard him can't stand his music. I guess, in very loose terms, it's a way for music fans that to vent their anger, though it is a bit immature, it's not like it's going to stop, just like the other side won't stop either.

I freaking hate the subscription box. Videos that you watch or simply close in the box, reappear later as if you didnt watch them or deliberately exit them.

and lol at people who read comments on music videos.

****ing ads.

Usually (or at least until not too long ago) I could just refresh whenever an ad played before a video and that'd be the end of it but lately I can refresh multiple times and the ad will still ****ing play.

Another pet peeve?

When people say:

I liked the part when X did Y
0:00 - end of video

That **** pisses me off.

Yeah. It's Youtube.

But x100 better... and it gets better nearly every week - my friends the owner of the site. I'll be designing him an awesome layout once the coding gets finalized.

Working on streamlining the code and doing some more improvements on how the search is conducted, adding a "tweet this" button (we have a facebook like thing), and adding a forum BBcode embed.

The YouTube app on the iPod Touch sucks. Like, sometimes when I view a video, it'll load and start me at the last 3 seconds and I'd be like "WTF???".

Getting Rick rolled pisses me off when I'm wanting to watch something like manga/anime and wrestling.

Your gonna always get mad if you look at the comments of songs you like.

I wish YouTube had some sort of video edit function where you can cut a certain part of the video because in this video, I lost my concentration and repeatedly talked to the same person by accident.
Dude... There's a thing called "quality-checking before you upload".

Yeah, you're supposed to edit BEFORE you upload the videos. You can do this with programs such as Windows Movie Maker

Good way to pimp out your vid, bro, lorenzo.
Don't you hate the video suggestions when they are just promoted and not related videos?

One of my pet peeves is when people don't take the time to edit their videos and then shift the blame to some external factor. AAARrgh

I actually like the "X people missed the like button" comments if they're in good taste with the video. Like when I was watching the Magneto trailer for MvC3, there was one comment floating around that said "X people got their ***es handed to them by the Master of Magnetism" or something like that that was heavily +1'ed. That sort of stuff I think is pretty cool.

The one thing that pisses me off to no end about YouTube is when you have to reload an ENTIRE video when you skip ahead to a part that hasn't loaded. Seriously, is it really *that* hard to be able to just cache the part of the video you've already loaded to save such immense time? Combo that with the "the status bar is fully loaded but the video isn't loaded to that part" problem and that garbage makes me want to hurl my laptop out my dorm window.

Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga comments. No actually any comment that I see when I go to a YouTube video with older or classical music that has somebody that is younger and says "Modern music sucks. Look at me I listen to good music." I just mention Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga because they are the most common artists that these kids mention when they make these dumb comments. They act like not listening to Justin Bieber somehow makes them special and unique. Well, it doesn't. Nobody on the internet likes Justin Bieber.

Do I care for Justin Bieber? No, not really. I just don't see what relevance he has to a Debussy video. Nor do I consider anybody "special" for hating him because I've never seen anybody that actually liked him.

In fact I hate the overall elitist attitude against any modern music. It's everywhere and it's infectious. I listen to mostly classic rock and classical but that attitude really makes me mad because I have found some artists from my time here that actually are pretty awesome.

I actually find those "X Number of people...* comments funny sometimes. That is unless they go along the lines of this: "X number of people don't know good music" or *X number of people like Justin Bieber*. These people act like all old music is Godly and that people who do not like it don't know good music. LOL. Yeah, I've listened to classic rock a lot for the last three years. It is not all good. Get over yourselves.

Seriously, what's up with that? If all the streaming porn sites I go to can do this, why can't YOUTUBE?

When someone links a vid on something supposedly funny and when I click on it it says that "This video has been removed by _____ because of copyright laws" or something like that

So gay. Especially during a couple of days before BW came out >_>

I hate it when you press the full screen button, and it restarts the video or at least resets the loading time.
Do you have in your settings to automatically switch to the best quality when going full screen?
Because if so, then obviously it needs to start loading again, unless it already was at that quality.
