I've seen the shows a few times, but I found them...well, strange and annoying, so I don't really watch them. New York constantly picking fights with the girls was weird too, I'm like 'WTH is this?' lol!

Apparently people who want to see "hot people dating" (whatever they mean by that!

Does that mean you'll see webcam footage of people on their first dates sitting awkwardly at a restaurant somewhere?

) should hang out on my Rose/Bernard page at YouTube 'cause there's a LOT of advertising coming in for that there...

I've had to swat half a dozen of these things off that particular vid for some weird reason!

Do they not SEE Bernard as Rambo at the end? Do they not realize he will shoot them with that giant bazooka he's carrying???

Nothing says hot dates like 60-year-olds and cancer.

My videos seem to be good for advertisements like:

Quote:

Online dating at its best WEBFLINGTODAY dot COM

So I appeal to the one-night-stand demographic. Considering my view of most of the romances on the show, that's probably right.

The ones I always see are either the WEBFLING.com ones, or the CAMZOT webcam girls...I wonder how many people actually go there when their vid is spammed.

There's a lot of desperate losers on the internet, especially on sites which appeal to the general public (ie YouTube) and which are passive entertainment (ie YouTube).

I think the retention rate to those websites is probably pretty high, or it wouldn't crop up so frequently. They'd stop doing it if it were unsuccessful, after all.

I have never got a webcam girl one, although I have various webcam girls trying to befriend me on myspace every now and again. I wonder why my videos don't attract the webcam girls. Maybe it's the violence.

Ahahaha, another good one, mainly because of which video it got posted on.

Here is Prison Grove. It is a song written by Warren Zevon just before he died, and it is not a nice song. It is haunted, dirgelike - it's a funeral song, essentially. It works really well for a downbeat Sayid vid, which is what it is.

And what comment pops up on there?

Quote:

Hot college babes hangout on cam at >> collegestudentcams DOT com <<

That's right. After watching a video which uses a song that has the lyrics:

Quote:

Some folks have to die too hard;
some folks have to cry too hard.
Take one last look at the prison yard -
Goodbye, prison grove.

- You're going to totally be in a mood to check out h0t c0llege c0edz. Rock on.

Some people....I just got a camzot.com ad in my Smallville vid today! I removed it quickly, then realized that I forgot to block the person.

Oh well...

OK, is this spam?

On 'Watch Your Step':

Daybreak1223 (12 hours ago)
Please be careful, while I'm away...

.
141414abc (4 minutes ago)
I ll be... hope you get healthy back

... what the heck? Both of them have favorited a broad swath of 1980s tunes, of which 'Watch Your Step' is one. To a brief glance, they have no other 'Lost' videos saved as favorites.

I have no clue what their little ongoing conversation seems to be about, and it's certainly not related to my video. As a result, I'm tempted to just be harsh and block them, erring on the side of caution. It's vaguely creepy for some reason, but I'm not sure if it qualifies as spam.

Thoughts?

Hmmm...weird. It sounds like vague pieces of a conversation, but did you see the rest of it? That's so weird.

I just got this random PM that asked if I wanted to be wealthy or high-class or something...strange. It was kind of liek an ad. Did you ever get that one?

I've got it twice!

Apparently, I'm really poor and low-class according to the spammers at YouTube so I needed a double-dose!

Aww, poor poor Aislynn.

Just kidding.

I keep getting this stupid spam, so what does that say about me?

No. No! NOOOO! I do not want to see 'hot people dating'...I don't even know what that means. I mean,why woudl you want to watch someone 'date' somebody...are they at a restaurant? The movies?

i liked what you said about watch people daiting... that would make an excellent sitcom of dorts.... I got one for the pretty when your drunk vid, which i think was typical....though i dont get why there posting it on my lost vids...

SassyLostie2 · Expert Vidder Joined: 08 Aug 2007 Posts: 28138

I'd like to see that sitcom, Trey.

I just now got one that said - 'collect $500 immediately, just by joining!' so I guess I'm really poor too, Ais. They weren't just offering me a chance to be rich and wealthy, they were gonna gimme $500 on the spot!

I got that one today, too. It makes me think that there must be a trail - someone keeps on clicking on 'friends' or 'related vids' of the place they start the spam, and that's why we all get hit with the same stuff at once.

I'm still confused by the weird comments that I posted before, but oh well. They haven't commented again, so I'll let it be.

Yeah, that makes sense. I had some person on fanfiction.net who was going around anonymously as SassyLostie and giving people horrible and degrading reviews, and everyone thought that it was me!! I finally had to put a note in my profile, but what you said reminded me of that, cuz they went to a lot of my friend first.
