I’ve known about this project for some time, but I had to bring it up after I watched a few YouTube videos after work. I accidentally read some of the comments below the videos and my eyes started burning it made me remember StupidFilter.
StupidFilter is essentially a spam or junk filter but for stupid text. If you play around with the demo, you can see how it works. If you like pain, you can check the random page to see all of the random comments StupidFilter has stored in their database thus far.
I can’t help but think how useful StupidFilter would be to Google and YouTube. While Google must use a large amount of storage for inane response videos, the text comments that get stored must use a decent amount of storage at YouTube’s scale too. It would save Google money and it would make YouTube comments easier on the eyes.
