Please... No More Karaoke For The Deaf!

Every time I go to the YouTube website and enter in the word 'deaf' as a keyword to browse the latest video clips. There is one particular video clip that I'm getting sick of.

Can any of you guess which one it is?

The 'Torn' routine by a comedian named Johann Lippowitz. I did find the routine to be highly amusing at first only to find it to be quite tiresome because of the repetitive uploads to the YouTube website. It has been repeatedly dubbed as 'Karaoke for the Deaf'.

I have been wondering why they aren't checking the website before they upload the file? Before you upload a file to a website, it's your responsibility to ensure that it hasn't already been uploaded. There's nothing more annoying than browsing through dozens or hundreds of the same video clip through several search pages.

Here's the video clip.



This is the clip that you cannot avoid at all on YouTube. There are approximately fifty clips of the same routine by typing in "deaf, torn" and one hundred and sixty clips when you enter 'deaf karaoke'. I'm sure more than a merely few hundreds of the same video clip has been uploaded only to be deleted later.

It's quite annoying that people are continuing to upload this very same video clip every single day to the YouTube website.

Please... no more karaoke for the deaf!

  3. You can select list by DATE,then you aren't stuck with it, I suspect you type in 'deaf' and then it picks that vid up, it's a tip to other vid makers make sure you 'label' your vid correctly or they may just dissapear amongst the thousands made. It's the categorizing that does it,and allows this Vid to be seen ALL the time (I'm bored with it too !).

  4. I'm aware of the 'date' option and I always use it to check out the latest video clips. Though there's still quite a number of these being uploaded on an almost daily basis.

    It's quite ridiculous and a waste of YouTube's bandwidth to host the same video on many pages on the same website.

  5. Hello Banjo,

    Of course, I have noticed that occurences several time while I was surfing for some interesting streaming videos. Oh boy, I'm getting tired of those recycling deaf karaoke videos. Would somebody please contact YouTube firm to delete whole copies?

  7. I wished it does more advanced search like using - (negative) to omit the wordings like karaoke.

    if I do that kind of search "deaf -karaoke" and it should choose all topics of "deaf" except "karaoke"

    It doesn't work in You Tube... that sucks!

  8. I hate to see that again! I am agree with you!

    I think it something made by HBO.
    So, that's good idea, you can report to HBO for copyright violation, maybe? I feel seem so, that is
    something made from HBO for karaoke.

  9. ok idk wtf he was going with this,

    "I feel seem so, that is
    something made from HBO for karaoke."

    but as for copyright violations there are none sadly its not being sold that the thing with the copyright laws its the only loop hole that and HBO really wouldn't get any money from it any way, so yea again no point in that, as for the posting of vids over and over with the same name its going to happen people a stupid being a pc tech i know just how stupid people are, so you will always see 80 mil of the same vid until a tech goes and wipes 50 mil of them out, so sorry to put it this way but stupid people make life hard for all of us.
