Why are the people who post comments on Youtube so fucking stupid?

So I've been listening to various trumpet players on Youtube for the past hour or so, and each and every video either says "Wow, Wynton can't hold a candle to this guy" (Wynton being Wynton Marsalis, probably the most heralded trumpet player in jazz today), or "This guy and some other guy are so much better than Wynton, Hargrove, and Peyton." (Hargrove and Peyton being two other phenomenal players.) I mean, I understand music is subjective and all, but are people so stupid and jealous that they just have to put down the best at every chance?
Sure, Wynton plays some bullshit, especially on his newer CDs, but come on, there really isn't anyone who is clearly better than him. It may be debatable, but to write these greats off so easily is retarded.

Yeah I don't see that shit too much under the jazz shit, but that's annoying as hell too. Watching a video of Trey Anastasio, Bob Weird, and Nicholas Peyton right now. "Bob Weir is a talentless assclown." That one made me laugh.

Though the shroomery population is above average intelligence and respect, in general... The internet at large is not. People who take the time to post on youtube are below average intelligence and disrespectful in general. Real people listen to the trumpet player and then go to work, make love to their wife, or do something creative. Youtube posters listen to the trumpet player and then proceed to spew refuse through their fingertips.
Thats my first thought at least...

You have to realize that most of the viewers on YouTube are rebellious kids. They aren't the best people around to critique fine art.

I have to admit that trolling youtube is actually a hobby of mine, it's the only website I ever troll. It is so easy to set people off on youtube! Try going to the conspiracy theory videos about contrails and how 9-11 was orchestrated by the Bush administration.
I definitely think that music fans are the easiest people to make crazy, and the madder they get, the stupider their comments get. Fans of Kate Bush, Tori Amos, epic trance, and gangster rap are fun to comment on. Seriously, get a grip, who cares what some stranger may or may not actually think about some musician you don't even know?

How did Shroomery manage to get it's head so far up it's own ass? Shroomery is great but there's definitely many more intelligent forums out there. I see so much of this kind of talk lately. It's hard to claim above average respect when so many of the posts here are calling somebody or something else retarded, how understanding and all-knowing you all are with your shroomy enlightenment! Oh well, continue on with the circle jerk.

I agree though, youtube has a lot of retarded comments. Too easy for any random jackass to hit the comment button and everybody with a computer knows about youtube. If Shroomery was as loosely moderated as youtube I'm sure there would be an almost equal amount of retarded posts. (It's pretty close as it is.)

Perhaps some musician's mother felt like promoting her son in her free time. It sounds like something a mother would do to me.
PS: how did the conversation of how intelligent people here are come up? Considering the "average" person is a complete moron, stating that people here are "above average" is a far cry from calling us all complete geniuses.

I personally hold YouTube comments to be the most astonishly bad replies on the entire internet.
