FIRST!!!
 
Why do people get annoyed when people say that? They're not hurting anybody, so what's the big deal?

biancafanboy July 23rd, 2010 10:19 PM

Because some people are very inmature and think it matters that there not first.

Palkia July 23rd, 2010 10:20 PM

There is a "fad" on youtube where the first comment usally says first on a youtube video. Pepole are sick of pepole commenting about, which is a reason for pepole to get annoyed by the word first.

Beechlgz July 23rd, 2010 11:29 PM

If you're looking forward to new comments only to find it's "first" then it's a bit disappointing.

But still I do think people get a bit over-heated about it. Since people get annoyed the trolls like to do it now just to annoy them further.

Hatsuharu July 23rd, 2010 11:33 PM

It's really annoying. I have 8 videos on my account and all of them have a comment that says first and then like 5 complaining about it. NOTHING about the video.

Ninja Caterpie July 23rd, 2010 11:50 PM

Because it's spam and it's useless.

SIXTH!

TheReal July 24th, 2010 1:35 AM

NOT FAAAAAAARST!
With a thread like this it's all I have to say.
But now, really, in my country nobody complains about that. Maybe it's because a lot of people don't now the meaning of the word, or just maybe we don't get anoyed with such little things. I don't have any problem with that :S

Luck July 24th, 2010 1:40 AM

Because no one cares if you have first comment on a youtube video with 230 views.

Skip Class July 24th, 2010 1:41 AM

They just think it's cool to be the first person to comment especially on youtube if the video is made my someone popular or the video is bound to become popular

Dawn July 25th, 2010 12:47 AM

Because it's spam.
What else needs to be said? Nobody likes spam.

SinisterEternity July 25th, 2010 12:54 AM

Haha, I agree with all the SPAM thing.
I mean, seriously, take the oh-so-good example of DeviantArt.

Artists, Talented artists or not, worked hard on a piece, and the first comment they get is : "WoOooooOOot !! FIRST COMMENT" and nothing else behind.
And they do not work to get things like this, what they want is constructive comment, or critics, or compliments.

You could say they want to make some humor, but yeah, rarely will they find someone who thinks it's not a SPAM message xD

So they are not technically willing to hurt, but they are still annoying people when just putting a "FIRST COMMENT OMFG" on a page. cx

Suzune July 25th, 2010 4:19 AM

It's spam, it's annoying and probably a let down for whoever made the video/picture that's being reviewed.

Zebeedoo July 25th, 2010 12:26 PM

Well to me the whole "First" comment thing is sorta spammy. No matter what the person who says it comments on. :x

Rich Boy Rob July 25th, 2010 12:32 PM

Because it's pointless and annoying spam.

Amaruuk July 25th, 2010 5:33 PM

Call me crazy, but it actually made me giddy the one time someone on dA commented 'FIRST!' on one of my paintings (they also made actual commentary, but that's kind of beside the point for the purpose of this thread). I guess I just see cries of 'FIRST!' there as a sign that the piece or artist in question is good enough to warrant someone thinking they have to rush to comment first before others flood in or somesuch. My stuff rarely gets comments, but that person apparently assumed it was going to, and I take that as a compliment.

In other places? I think the whole 'first' thing is just harmless fun. I don't see it as real spam or trolling or anything. It's just something some people like to do, and it's not hurting anybody like real trolling might. :/

But isn't it a bit annoying when they rush and don't even come back to comment ? Or put some compliment/critics after their "first" ?
Some only do that because they want to be funny, but yeah, there are some moments it can get a bit...annoying xD

EmeraldSerenade July 25th, 2010 6:01 PM

Because its spammy, and shouldn't even deserve to be a comment. No one cares if your first.

lol.

Yuoaman July 25th, 2010 6:33 PM

Because saying 'first' is not a valid comment and is in general a waste of space.

twocows July 25th, 2010 11:42 PM

It doesn't really contribute anything to the discussion. It would be like like if you're talking with a bunch of your friends, and anytime a new subject was brought up somebody shouted "FIRST" (and possibly a second person, who would then follow it up with "DARN"). I think everyone would have to admit that would get annoying, and it's no different (to me, at least) on the internet.

Taemin July 26th, 2010 12:59 AM

I don't get why people care so much.

"Woohoo, you're first to comment on a YouTube video, which likely had 100 or more hits at the same time as you, whom you wanted to out-match. Good job having entirely too much time. (b ' ' )b"

Not sure who those people are trying to impress.. xD;
To me it makes me them appear as they don't have much else better to do, then hit up all the pics / videos hoping to get first comment.

Cherrim July 26th, 2010 5:08 AM

I used to think it was a big amusing (never bothered with it myself) but I hate the idea of it now. :/ I can understand wanting to be the first commenter to leave a review that everyone will end up seeing, but so few people go "first!" and then leave an otherwise worthwhile comment. So basically the "first" spammers are the annoying ones that everyone scrolls past anyway when trying to read replies and there's no point to posting it at all. :/ It's just spam, plain and simple.

It also seems really obnoxious, which is why I never have an issue when the tendency has turned to flame other people when they do that. :P

Percy Thrillington July 26th, 2010 5:23 AM

I don't care about those who comment first. Doesn't hurt me and the reactions can sometimes be mildly amusing.

Honest July 26th, 2010 1:36 PM

It's SPAM. Is there really anything else you can say about it? It's stupid, annoying, and pointless. Only difference here is that it's a comment, not a message. =D

Not really, no, because that one person was the only one who has ever done it to me in all my time of posting art online, and they also left commentary anyway. Yeah, I can see how it would be annoying, especially if you do normally get/expect actual comments, or get tons of them and would have to scroll through the spam, but to me? All I saw was someone that thought what I made was worth 'FIRST-ing' at. Normally it's the big-shots with really great/popular work that are guaranteed to have people 'competing' to comment first. Honestly it wouldn't have felt any different even if they hadn't added commentary, because that alone is a compliment to me. I'm the kind of person who'd appreciate even a 'wow, that's cool!' 'cause even though it's not well thought-out or specific, that person had something to say and said it, and for an artist in my shoes that's all I really care about.

NarutoActor July 26th, 2010 6:58 PM

Simple, you look at the comments to see the first five post all say FIRST!
