Seth Godin RSS feed: Monkeys with megaphones

[RSS FEED-from consistent personal brands]

My RSS Feed, Seth Godin, is a Thinker and Has Just Posted the Following:

Jack points us to this regularly updated collection of inane, indecipherable or insulting comments from YouTube.

When will it get better?

Now that everyone has their own channel, their own newspaper, their own station, it's pretty shocking how low the average has sunk. The question is: will it be so noisy and offensive that the rest of us just tune it out completely? Do you care enough to dig through the pond scum comments to find the pearls? My guess is that few people do. It's like most cell phone calls... not a lot of people listening, just waiting for their turn to talk.

On a closed, non-anonymous site I get to use, I'm noticing that the quality of comments continues to increase. I don't think people are dumb. I think ease of use combined with anonymity and vanity just makes them seem that way.
