They also don’t care that you think Battle Royale was better (it was). But they’re still the stars of this speed run through the general plot by The Pet Collective. They’re…

YouTube’s New Comment Moderation Seems To (Not) Be Going Well So Far
YouTube’s new comment moderation system sounds pretty neat, but it’s really going to hinge on how people interact on the Internet. And there’s only so much you can do to moderate that.
