j reacts to the idea of youtube accepting character minimums for comments

one of the best things that could be done for a site like youtube is character minimums. you float through that jenner page, and it's just one-line post after one-line post.

again: 20,000 posts, ten ideas. it's the same post over and over. it doesn't seem to be enough to get the idea down and have it catch a wind of upvotes - people want their own posts. and, i'd encourage that, actually. except that it ought to pre-suppose an original thought, y'know?

if you made it so that you'd have to put down 500 characters before you're allowed to post? you'd clear out 90% of the posts. you'd get rid of all of the "you're st00pid!" posts. & etc.

as a user and a content creator? that would be the change i'd make, if i was going to make one. not character maximums - character minimums.

people will get upset at first. but, you'd just have to coach them along a little.

your post is not long enough. please type a little more.

if you're having difficulty typing more, maybe you'd rather find a post to upvote, instead?
