I cant work something out about youtube comments. Not being a comment type person myself, perhaps I dont understand the youtube user etiquette so forgive me if this sounds stupid. Do people hang around on certain videos just to troll or is there a central thread of updated videos' comments somewhere?

I only really mention because I was looking at The Bartender and The Thief promo and looked at the comments to see someone say "Perhaps [The Stereophonics] aren't as popular as you think" - posted a couple of days ago. Youtube trolls are aplenty, I know this, but it seems quite random to happen upon them looking at music vids from ~10 years ago to have a pop.

The only thing I can think of is there are too many people with too much time on their hands?
