Rebecca Black Disables Comments

So the best part about Rebecca Black's "Friday" was the user comments.

I give her credit for creating a viral video that pretty much topped most other viral sensations in recent years, however the song sucked.

What seat should I take on the bus? screw it, i'm riding in a convertible, with my seatbelt off....with awkward girls that I may have never seen in my life..

The comments on the other hand, well they provided some quality entertainment. Not only were a lot of the comments hilarious, but in the time it took you to write out yours, there were 10 new ones waiting for you to read.

Call me crazy, but those comments were driving views to her already popular video. Disabling them means that now when people are bored out of their minds after 20 seconds they will just leave, rather than read what everyone else wrote.

YouTube marketing 101, engage your viewers.
