The Reality of YouTube Trolls: A Guide to Identifying and Dealing with Them
By Matthias
As someone who has had their fair share of run-ins with infamous YouTube trolls, I can attest that dealing with them can be a challenging and frustrating experience. There are too many different types of trolls out there, each with their own unique brand of behavior and tactics. In this article, I will share some of the most common ways to identify if you're one of these trolls, as well as how to deal with them in a constructive way.
Using Obscenities: One of the simplest (and most obvious) ways to identify yourself as a troll is to look at your recent comment history. If you've used obscenities in at least three out of four comments, it's likely that you're one of these trolls. You might say something like "wow, you're stupid" or "that's not how you braid hair." These kinds of comments are not only hurtful, but they also show a complete lack of understanding and respect for others.
Making Unsubstantiated Claims: Another common trait of trolls is their tendency to make unsubstantiated claims. You might say something like "oh, piece of shame on you," or "pick up a dictionary once in a while." These kinds of comments are not only hurtful, but they also demonstrate a complete lack of understanding and critical thinking skills.
Taking Everything Personally: Trolls often take things too personally and get easily offended. You might say something like "oh, that's right you don't read cuz reading sucks," or "your videos suck." These kinds of comments are not only hurtful, but they also show a complete lack of empathy and understanding for others.
The Art of Sarcasm: Trolls often use sarcasm to make their points, but it can be easy to miss. You might say something like "oh yeah well your mom sucks she does kind of suck," or "you're an idiot." These kinds of comments are not only hurtful, but they also demonstrate a complete lack of respect and understanding for others.
The Worst Troll of All Time: There is one type of troll that stands out above the rest - the troll who gets everybody mad. This is the ever classic grammar troll, who delights in pointing out tiny mistakes in others' comments or videos. They might say something like "so what it's there," or "you said 'bus stop' spelled differently." These kinds of comments are not only hurtful, but they also show a complete lack of understanding and empathy for others.
Dealing with Trolls: So how do you deal with trolls? The first step is to recognize the signs and take a deep breath. Don't engage with them - it's usually not worth it. Instead, focus on creating high-quality content that will resonate with your audience.
The Importance of Respect: When dealing with trolls, it's essential to remember that respect is key. Never use language or tone that is hurtful or demeaning, even if you're trying to make a point. Remember that there are people out there who may be struggling with difficult issues, and your words can have a profound impact on them.
The Power of Humor: Sometimes, the best way to deal with trolls is to use humor. You might say something like "dude doesn't this ice cream suck?" or "this food is terrible then why did you eat all of it." These kinds of comments show that you're not taking yourself too seriously and can help to diffuse tense situations.
The Value of Feedback: Finally, always be open to feedback from your audience. If someone points out a mistake in one of your videos or comments, take it as an opportunity to learn and grow. Remember that there are people out there who may have valuable insights and perspectives - don't dismiss them.
Conclusion:
Dealing with YouTube trolls can be a challenging experience, but it's essential to remember that respect and empathy are key. By recognizing the signs of troll behavior and taking a deep breath, you can avoid engaging with them and focus on creating high-quality content that resonates with your audience. Remember to use humor and be open to feedback - these can be powerful tools in de-escalating tense situations and building stronger relationships with your audience.
