New Firefox extension makes YouTube comments almost bearable
YouTube Comment Snob is a Firefox extension that gets rid of a good majority of the spam and drivel by applying some simple grammatical rules. You can customize it to filter out comments by using your favorite combination of the following: too many spelling mistakes (using Firefox's spellchecker), too much capitalization, no capitalization, swearing, profanity or excessive punctuation (!!!???!). The only problem with YouTube Comment Snob is that it hasn't yet been applied to the whole Internet.

A superb extension if I may say so myself. I am no longer afraid to venture out into the wilds of youtube. The natives are vicious heathens who are more likely to bite your little finger off than smile at you.

Actually, something like it has been applied to the general internet:

"The only problem with YouTube Comment Snob is that it hasn't yet been applied to the whole Internet." -- Now that is indeed, snob!
Some people are rude, some illeterate, some both, but remains sometimes an interesting unfinished idea. And sometimes an elegant rhetoric may be as empty as a cold smile.
Com'on, don't be so European!
