Seriously, what is the deal?? I was watching some videos on felling trees - one was a guy doing everything by the book, making nuanced cuts based on trunk rot, branch weight etc. and explaining EVERYTHING in detail. The next was made by 3 certified arborists & a professor of forestry PhD from Ohio State...clearly people who know what they're doing.

In spite of this, there is comment after comment of "well the cut looks too low to me, ackshually blah blah" that is 99.9% BS or subjective at best. I see this on renovation videos, lawncare videos, auto care videos etc. Anything that falls under the trades umbrella.

What drives these overly confident morons? How do you watch a video made by a bunch of experts & think that what's missing is your dumb arse 2 cents.

Trades videos tend to attract low iq people that base their entire identity on whatever they get paid to do by the hour. In every trade, the person who runs their mouth about how great they are is usually the worst performer on the jobsite as well.

Aktshually, YouTube is a playground for the Mom’s basement keyboard warriors, who wouldn’t be surprised to find bozo posts therein?



Bozos generally don’t know how to curb themselves.

It’s kinda part of the job description for bozo.

There are people that tell the bearded butchers they’re butchering wrong. People are dumb.

Maybe not all of them, but definitely a lot of them.

Many if not most, are AI bot generated. Similar to reddit. There are bots on this site too.

quote:

AI comment bots are automated tools that use natural language processing or generative AI models (like ChatGPT) to automatically generate and post responses to social media content. They fall into two distinct categories with different compliance and utility profiles:

Outbound Engagement Bots: These tools post comments on other users' content to drive traffic or grow an account. They typically operate by scraping post titles or captions and generating replies via AI. However, posting via unofficial APIs or browser automation (e.g., Selenium) violates platform Terms of Service and can lead to account bans or shadowbans.

Inbound Reply Bots: These are integrated into a brand’s own posts via official APIs (e.g., Meta for Instagram/Facebook, YouTube Data API). They automatically respond to comments using AI trained on specific business FAQs or keywords, allowing for compliant automation of customer service and engagement.

Identification of AI comments often relies on detecting generic, context-free praise, repetitive phrasing, overly formal language, or the lack of personal anecdotal detail. While some platforms like Instagram are experimenting with AI-generated comment suggestions for human users, fully automated bot comments are frequently flagged as spam or fake engagement.

Have you been around trades people much? Even the dumbest of them believe that they are the smartest person in the world.

Negative. I was a pipefitter and since I'm not 100% retarded I moved up and on to better things with a good company.

Is this your first visit to the internet?

The internet has these things that are referred to as trolls. They like to provide counterpoints as a method to provoke anger or start arguments.

This isn't specific to tradesmen. See white collar blowhards in the medical field, for instance.

Your rant isn't terrible, but you could have done a lot better on this.

One of the hallmarks of idiots is their confidence in their own abject stupidity and ignorance.

The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias where people with low ability or limited knowledge in a specific domain greatly overestimate their competence. Formalized by psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger in 1999, it happens because the very skills needed to recognize an error are the exact skills required to produce the right answer.

Don't complain that the fertilizer smells. Just enjoy the rose.
