I hate how many youtubers clown around in their intros and use goofy voices and jerk around spasmodically as though they think this makes them relatable, especially when it's obviously forced and not their genuine personality. (Also that little "click on the link below" pointing routine they all do.) This complaint was inspired by a youtuber who is a psychotherapist and makes otherwise decent videos about trauma and recovery. I get that she wants to appear to be chill and approachable to her viewers, but, listen....acting like a teenager about to review their latest Sephora haul and then launching into a serious monologue about coping with having been a parentified child of alcoholics is undermining your message and is, frankly, kind of weird.

When people basically expect you to make a decision about something for them but you have no little to no knowledge of the context surrounding the decision. This generally happens when the decision is either really huge (and you don't feel comfortable trying to help make it), or really small and inconsequential (and it's like I don't care, just loving decide). Example: my husband has about 3 lieu hours he can take off. He asked if he should leave early today. I'm like sure, go for it! Cue him sending me a million texts being like "well....it's so busy here today. We're understaffed" and "won't it look bad if I leave? I might get in trouble". Well, then maybe stay and take them some other time? "But I don't waaaaaaant tooooo". Jesus. You are an adult, make up your own goddamn mind about it! I have no loving idea how your work operates and if you'll get in trouble or not! Ugh.

I've been tempted to complain about overly long opinion videos before. It should not take 30 minutes or more to explain why I should watch a certain anime. I also clicked a 50 minute video about some internet reviewer in the hopes the opening would tell me what was going on but balked when the guy said he intentionally decided to do it in a long form vlog!

This seems like an apt time to bring up my usual youtube-related peeve, in which reference information (poo poo like "what this option in a program does", that sort of thing) that would, if written down, take thirty seconds to look up online, is only available in convenient half-hour video form.

While we're rehashing common complaints like this: Recipes that make you scroll through a wall of text to get to the actual recipe. I really do not care that great aunt sally used to make this every labor day and it is the fondest memory of your childhood, and one time the family dog just ate it right off the table, can you believe it? Then one time my grandma ate it and she said it was the most wonderful experience of her entire life and was ready to die a happy woman. She died the next day, and I like to think she is eating this dish in heaven. And so on, and so on forever... Just loving tell me how to cook it.

This is so awful. It's also poo poo when it's for a game and there ARE written explanations but they're so incomprehensible that you end up having to watch a video, and 99.9% of them are poo poo HAY GUYZ THIS IS ALEXBLAZE420 I'm uh gonna show you uh how to uh do this. Now this is an achievement in the game [whatever] and it seems hard but I'm gonna show you how to do it real easy. Now I'm here in [city] and uh. *walks for 5 minutes* I'm just gonna walk and. *more walking* to the quest location, which is here. Then... [10 more minutes of this... "so [game] is really good I enjoy it blah blah blah"] so then you uh do this uh and [finally does the thing] and there's it is! [achievement pop shows on the screen] so yeah that's how you do it, the [achievement] *usually some more talking* so uh like and subscribe thanks guys It's impossible to know WHEN the guy actually does the thing so you have to scrub through the video to find where he does it, and sometimes there's an explanation that should take 10 seconds but the guy takes 5 minutes to explain it, or VERY FREQUENTLY explains how to do it 2 min into the video but the actual action is 10 minutes into the video so you have to watch the whole thing. loving waste of my time watching a 10 minute video for something that takes all of 10 seconds to do. WHYYYYYY the gently caress can't they just start the video at the location, explain what they're doing, do it, the end! The people looking for the achievement know what city the quest starts at/where the location of the thing is/etc. this is especially bad when it's a collecting items achievement, where they talk and talk when it should take 10 seconds to show the drat item location. Thank GOD I found PowerPyx whose videos are literally 10 second clips of the item's location& how to get there, clipped together in one video AND NO TALKING  . Same with action-related achievements: for example,  SUPER SPOILERS IF YOU HAVENT PLAYED DISHONORED 2 http://www.powerpyx.com/dishonored-2-trophy-guide-roadmap/ (collecting item achievement videos are near the end of the page)

Now this is an achievement in the game [whatever] and it seems hard but I'm gonna show you how to do it real easy. Now I'm here in [city] and uh. *walks for 5 minutes*... As you detailed, most youtube instructional videos have a complete lack of construction to them: "...alright guys, here I'm going to show you proof positive that critical hits after a lighting proc causes triple damage. So first I'm going to walk over to an enemy...where are they... <minutes pass> ...ok, so here I'm going to do a lightning strike first and-oh I forgot to equip that, hang on...<minutes pass> ...there we go, and now I hit with the crit and...oh darn it, get back here, I need to hit you...<minutes pass>...well anyway...it's SUPPOSED to work like that...sorry I couldn't show that, hopefully you get the picture." They have no concept of editing and keep everything raw and uncut; voiceover is done as they play rather than reading a written script over edited footage. It would be fine (well, not really) if it was, like, a comedy of errors and they have a funny personality, but it's just incredibly dry and boring. Most of the time they never actually prove what they are trying to explain in the first place, or if they do, they just speed right by it ("...there, it happened! Did you see that? Anyway..."). But even worse is that sometimes they don't even attempt to give a visual aid at all for what they are explaining and just put some unrelated footage up while they ramble on. What's the point of doing a youtube then if you're not going to use the entire medium? A video should engage in both an audio and visual sense!

Ugh one of my old friends worked tech support for Comcast and no matter how much I demonstrate that I know how to use computers he keeps assuming I'm clueless about the most basic poo poo. The other day he told me to give him my phone so he could show me how to put an address into Google Maps and set it to avoid toll roads. Then he was all smugly watching over my shoulder because I guess he was sure I'd fail and have to give up and ask for help

I like how you're fashionably late in quoting this (correct) opinion from 4 months ago. Peeve related to women in "geek" roles: when they jump down your throat over misunderstandings, like when I ask one working at best buy if they can answer my questions about whatever thing I am buying, I am not challenging them and making them prove themselves or asking them to go get a man. I just want to know, because I always get blown off by best buy people if they work in another department, so I just ask right away so they can say "no, you'll have to ask someone else". I can sympathize (empathize?) because I'm sure people do that pretty frequently, but still, I would think tone and body language etc would be enough to tell if someone is trying to be sexist or is just asking a question.

I like to believe the best of everyone until proven otherwise, so more often than not, someone I think is just being friendly/clarifying is being an rear end in a top hat. Also people who think being friendly=flirting. I'm not flirting with you, creepy security guard guy. I'm just generally a pretty friendly person and I like to be nice to people. Please stop trying to hit on me. I've had to report that guy twice now because he's getting really pushy and weird. I just wanna get my groceries and leave.

Minecraft requires you to answer three security questions to use your own skin if you get a new computer, and like a shitton of tech companies who don't loving THINK while crafting those security questions, the questions are very bullshit. They let you pick three from their list instead of forcing everyone to use three specific ones, but they include poo poo like your mother's maiden name and other things that are intensely personal and used by actual banks and governments and poo poo to verify your identity and shouldn't be gathered by loving Minecraft

God, all I want with those convoluted password requirements is for them to just show me what the hell they are when I click 'forgot password'. I don't know if that's a huge security risk or something, but it's just infuriating when I try what I think is the password I made for that site, give up, go to reset it, and THEN have my memory jogged because this is the only site I go to that requires 15 characters and a dollar sign or whatever.

In addition to what Thin Privilege said I also hate game guides that include lovely jokes and unnecessary plot summaries. Just tell me to talk to the character. Don't tell me what they say or what's going on; I will see that in the game. Most guides end up being very wordy despite the authors best efforts, they don't need padding. I've thought of doing a laconic game guide but it would basically be plagurism of a guide I find too wordy. I can't do that for my own use because after the fact I no longer need it and if I did it before playing I'd be spoiling it for myself. Also, sane people tend not want to include editing a 200+ page document as preparation for playing a game and I'd have to concur with them.

I hate when they don't let you see your password and tell if you've made a typo because of those dumb ubiquitous stars or dots. I cannot ever, ever think of a situation in which some fiend has been craning over me to see my netflix password or whatever only to be foiled by its illegibility. If they're getting my password it's because its a hack and the dots won't save me or anyone else whose account is compromised.

Current peeve: used-car salesman tactics. Dear Comcast rep: When I open up a support chat with you for our annual battle for internet service pricing, I will ask you questions. When I ask you a question, what you should do is then answer that question. THAT question. This will result in an interaction that, while it may not be pleasant or result in a perfect outcome for either of us, will at least not make me want to close the window in frustration and will directly contribute to a reasonably high rating in the post-chat survey.  Hi, my bill shot up, can I get a promotion or something so I'm paying a reasonable rate again? (2 paragraphs of copypaste boilerplate stepford-wife white noise) I have a promotion for you, it's a tiny bit less than your current bill (which just went up by 50%) and it gets you all this extra poo poo like triple your current speed and TV and HBO GO and and and. That all sounds nice, but are there any other promotions, specifically something with less speed (I'm not going to use all that) and/or just internet service? I'm not interested in TV service etc. The promotion I offered you is really great, Che! It's way faster and has all this TV stuff and it's still less than what you're paying now! (because we shot your old rate straight up into the air with a railgun) I'm fairly loving certain I didn't ask, "Is the thing you just told me about really great?? How great is it really??? CAN WE JERK OFF TOGETHER?" Every goddamn question I asked he didn't answer until I insisted or asked it again. I ask these questions because this is a long-term service agreement, not the last-minute impulse-buy rack at the supermarket; I want a plan that fits my use profile for preferably a decent price. Related peeve: decent pricing for new customers and a cornholeing for existing customers.

I'm fully aware that tier 1 tech support has that complete absence of free will ("Let's restart your machine. Let's power cycle your modem. Let's install drivers. Now that we've done all that, I can tell you that someone dug up our backbone with a steam shovel and the whole neighborhood is having an outage right now."). Wasn't certain if the billing/customer retention reps have any more leeway, though it wouldn't surprise me if they don't have any. Which is why I'm polite when I deal with the reps themselves. Still can't get a decent rate without threats to cancel, which is the root of my gripe, but the used-car sales tactics were particularly pushy this time and sort of surprised me.
