- You didn't think the lovey dovey, feel good would last forever, did you?! HAHAH! Here I am again with a not so nice video. A lot of you were concerned that me deleting horrible comments was an infringement of your right to free speech, so here's this video tell you why I do it. You're free not to watch if you don't want to.
See the first video here: • Here, have a TH-cam H...

@kliksphilip
Nice stuff man but whenever stuff like this is mentioned, I get bad memories of what Cayinator has become
I don't get it...
skiddaddle skaddoodle, your now on the coat hanger
honestly, the fact that you read comments at all is commendable
TooManyMoths Man I loved your Bot documentary videos, hope your doing ok bro.

@ENUIRA do you know how unfunny you are
Hello
wat
How is it that practically every video of yours is just so good to watch?
All the insight and youtuber-perspecitve stuff on here, the csgo stuff on 3-kliks (stupid competitors), and the in-between on 2-kliks.
Sitting here with a container of potato salad after having been awake all night and to an appointment at the job-center at 8am, eating breakfast to your videos.
I couldn’t agree more Colin! Philip, imho is always commendable for the quality of his content. I learn so much with him every single video.
I love you Philip and that’s a fact (not an opinion).
@@richardcunhacomedy **Insert "And that's a fact" meme here** 👍
He has a good grasp on how to write a script and perfect voice acting tone. Along with the iconic music it gives me a sense of comfort.
GOT season 8 WAS good! 🤣🤣
I for one am fine living under an absolute Philiponarchy
I love you Phil, You've helped me through some real shit times over my past three years. I never comment on any videos as I just assume it will simply whisp away into the rest of them. Please be aware that there will be tens of thousands of us who never comment, but are so appreciative that you upload content like yours, and others like this one giving us a personal insight into your life, And how we can improve it as you improve ours
❤️
I’ve spent the last 6 years of my life since starting high school watching TH-cam religiously. Subscribing and unsubscribing from many different channels, and finding new things that interest me over the years. Even after I stopped playing CSGO years ago, I’ve still watched every single 3kliks,2kliks, and kliks video, regardless of what they’re about. Old mate Phillip has been there from the start, and will probably be there in the end. More life to you my friend.
Nick I never really played CS:GO (although i bought it) but i absolutely adore 3kliksphillip videos, they are just so high quality that it lights a interest in it, even though the interest dies off pretty much after the video ended. Then for the next video the cycle continues.
Kliks videos actually got me into CS
Still waiting on updates for Destruction Darius

Philip has such a nice voice I could listen to him talking about the Argentinian foreign policy in 1800s for an hour.

I wonder if you are a fellow choriplanero?
I'm from Argentina and IDK what that is
(paraphrased) 'Freedom of speech protects you from the government, not the Philip'
for the record, Phillips interpretation of the american freedoms are wrong.
It's not JUST the government it applies too, its everyone. Specifically, every individual has a right to Freedom of Speech, except if its fighting words, pornography, illegal content, or several other things i'm not gonna list.
Effectively however, Phillip is wrong, as it does protect the american from expressing their opinion, I can say, "Phil stinks!" and it'd be perfectly within my boundries to do it.
I can say anything I want as long as its protected on public property (I.E government owned), just not private property. Also for the record, the site where Phil got it from is wrong, it states, "The government may not infringe on religious practices", but it can 100% and has done it to Mormons for literal millenia. Since the country was founded in fact, Mormons practice Polygamy, or having more then one spouse, and it is illegal in every state, despite being a religious "practice". The first amendment protects your right to HAVE that religion, just not practice it.
Just saying but for someone who tries to say, "Research is king to an informed opinon!" he didn't really do much research on the amendments.
@@DrCranberry it looks like he did some more surface level research. But the amendments do apply to anyone in a or potentially in a position of power over someone else. Aka everyone
Also its an American website, so technically i think you have to follow American laws. Not sure exactly on this second point though.
The 1st Amendment makes it so that it's not illegal to say something. That's the extent of it. It doesn't mean anyone has to grant you an audience. They're within their rights to censor you on a private platform.
@@DrCranberry freedom of speech doesnt mean freedom from consequence.
Philip's interpretations are more correct than DrCranberrys. You cannot be prevented from expressing yourself in public forums, i.e. on the streets, in city halls, publicly funded universities, etc.. But on a privately run website like TH-cam (or Facebook, Reddit, etc.) free speech does not apply. You can think of it as you have the "right to say what you want" but no "right to be heard everywhere"

also philip: "the design of these locks is questionable. valve pls fix."

Philip said "point zero one percent" which is 0.01% not 0.1%
Cakeeh, pls fix

Oh god you may have triggered it for me now too
We've had a "hearting every comment" video, now I think it's time for totalitarian kliksphilip to make a "deleting every comment" video
Big Philip is watching you, or rather youre watching him
dudethatsradical And instead of hearting all comments, he deletes them all.
0:23 “And bang your mu-“. That’s nice
mu-… ahem, bang your drum…

Man I admire you even being able to read the comments. Maybe it's cause I'm still newish, but I'm just not man enough to face all of that negativity even on a video with 99% likes
Leadhead you are great youtuber better then most don't worry about facing negativity
No way it's Leadhead hi Leadhead
"not man enough"..... we should have known :o congrats on coming out!!
does Leadhead play cs?
well leadhead, turns out you just weren’t man enough at all!
"I don't think my youtube comment section is a place for negativity."
Cries in O- blood type :(
Why are you bleeding in the comments section
The comment section is like a rock concert. You can dance, you can talk, you can shout - but start yelling obscenities, shouting that the band sucks, attacking other people or try to get up on the stage and don't be surprised when you get kicked out. You can rent the concert venue afterwards to talk about how they stole the lyrics from your diary that you've never shown to anyone if you wish but the band doesn't have to host you.
yes
No you can't attack people physically in a comment section, it's not like a concert. And you cant tell obscenities, TH-cam automatically deletes your comment.

@@gardinbe782 what are you confused about?
imagine going on a walk with phillip
all that would be talked about is why building are called buildings if they are already built
It makes more sense in Dutch:
- Building (verb) = Bouwen
- Built (verb) = Gebouwd
- Building (noun) = Gebouw
A building's never really finished. You're often just trying to keep it up or change it until it finally falls down or gets knocked down.
Yeah those ‘heart if you ______’ are annoying...
btw Phillip, I really enjoy all your content, especially your meta analytical videos. You provide a very level headed point of view which reminds me of anther British TH-camr; Sean Tucker who also does these kinds of videos alongside his amazing photography videos.
Edit: are you still downvoting your videos? Right now it’s 35 likes to 1 dislike.

I think I only played CS once or twice back in the day when it was still a mod for Half-Life, and I hated it!
I've never liked 3D shooters let alone multiplayer ones, so it was no surprise I didn't like CS.
What WAS a surprise, were your videos about CS:GO!
I find them fascinating!
The amount of detail, planning, and math that goes into this game is astounding!
Every pixel counts, every tiny detail is actually carefully planned, the position of a door, the amount of clipping done to steps, nothing is left to chance! And, of course, every imaginable exploit, no matter how ridiculous, will be found out and it will be used competitively.
And that's just CS:GO maps!
The SKINS!
OMG! The skins!
It's mind blowing how much effort goes into what is essentially a cosmetic aspect and doesn't influence the outcome of the game in any way. It's just incredible!
Anyway, that's how I found about your other channels and got recommended one of the most profound gaming experiences ever, The Talos Principle.
Now I'm hooked!
Keep up the good work, I love your videos!
Same camp as youtbh. Can't stand csgo, I'm a quake guy and i need fast movement or i dont find much fun in it. But phillips videos have made me try everal times to get into cs and despite me not pklaying the game, have always been interesting
"In my opinion," that HR lady has no idea what she's talking about
Sounds like someone took psych 101 and stands on mount stupid.
the HR lady probably is named Karen
You’re very opinionated /s
That's all poor people basically. If you live paycheck to paycheck life, shut the hell up because you don't know shit.
yeah there are some things I can handle but 4:37 'got season 8 was good' is too much I feel nasty just typing that I'm literally shaking right now I never thought is say this but UNSUB
Best part of the video! Stab that comment Philip! Would sub again for that! 😅
i think thats why hes stabbing it to death
dislike, unsub, and reported as hatecrime
There's this thing out there where people write the angriest wankiest comment because they sincerely believe you'll never read it, then when/if you respond they get back with the "oh I'm a big fan" as if that absolves them of the dumbass thing they just said
People always forget that freedom doesnt mean "I can do/say whatever I want and expect no response". Philip I applaud you for trying to keep comments as open as possible while also removing the downright hateful ones
I think it's a two way street, I remember that one video about you talking about how people would bait celebrities just to get a response. It's also funny how people are quick to shout "censorship" yet the meaning of that has been so watered down, people just throw it on anything that it related to speech.
Do keep up the great work Philip, you're very entertaining and make almost anything sound interesting :D
You know Philip is about to hit you with a mad, existential truth when the beat drops slightly
Kind of crazy how the Internet shaped a new form of creator-audience relationship.
Like, up to a few decades ago, the feedback you'd get as a successful creator was either the cheering of a live audience, a few letters from very opinionated fans/haters, or random people who would recognize you in the streets.
Now, with TH-cam, content creators get constant feedback. Good or bad, constructive or not, doesn't matter its always there. Comments on every video that comes out. It's a blessing and a curse I guess.
So many more opportunities to improve yourself but also a lot more opportunities for discouragement and missteps.
It doesn't help that comments are an unfiltered spamchamber where you can't enstate mods or admins to create a certain environment, like an old school BBS forum or something.
So it becomes less of a place to discuss the video, and more just trying to get the attention of whoever is reading in the worst way possible, screaming and hopefully making someone angry enough to do something about it.
Freedom can be a curse or a blessing.
Indeed
I think that this is fair to be honest. Nobody deserves to have to see that in their comment section. It also clears up the comment section and keeps it more relevant.
Also free speech (USA) does not protect you from anything other than government retribution. He can delete your comment if he feels like it.
so your right to not be offended trumps others' right to speak? do you know that this is evil, or?
i am genuinely asking, do you know how many hundreds of millions died to stop the thing you call 'fair' from being enforced?
4:24 hey Philip, you can set OBS to hide your mouse cursor so it doesn't show up in the recording. A godsend for VR gameplay.
"GOT season 8 was good"
*stab stab stab*
Absolutely genius Phillip!
Agred
The funny thing is how hipersensitivity is being claimed by these toxic people while toxic activity is hipersensitivity in it of itself.
Truely Ironic.
Love your videos, i like honest people, and these videos make me feel like you are talking as your private self, not a public persona.
I would like to try to make videos like these as well about several subjects, but i don't know how to make it happen.
Anyways, wish you good always, great work!
You're absolutely correct, Philip. I also see no reason to keep hateful or annoying comments laying around.
Little side note, I love your videos, and I really do appreciate all the effort you put into them.
Yeah they are just shouting its their right to have a opinion but they end up commenting "you're retarded for ______". actual brainlets.
7:43 Kliksphilip, this is what you call "the dunning kruger effect", and the opposite thing (where intelligent people feel inferior) might be imposter syndrome.
Oh yeah, that somewhat explain it.
I'd say it's more just that people that know what they're talking about typically are more able (and likely) to present their views in a reasonable and two-sided manner, whereas someone screaming about something they know little about won't have considered both sides of the argument. The motivation is also different: people shouting about something they don't really know about are unfortunately just trying to prove how smart they are, whereas people who know their stuff are trying to educate, respectfully present their views and move towards a reasoned debate.
Then there are people like me who have both
@@barnstormer322 Yes, and also the notion that "the more you know, the more you realise you don't know" - which, in turn, means that the more you know, the less you want to tout your views as the one and only truth. If the only thing you know is "the earth is round", then you aren't wrong per se, but someone who knows "the earth is kinda like a ball that someone sat on, and then built mountains on, and dropped meteorites onto, and melted the core of, and I don't know where I'm going with this analogy", then you'll be less brazen about stating that you can walk a mile north, a mile east, a mile south, and a mile up, and be back where you started. ("Uhh, did I mention that I don't actually have a medical license?" -- Dr Zed)
But then, inevitably, you get the people who don't understand the dunning kruger effect throwing the term around in arguments to make themselves sound superior... how ironic :D
i once left a comment on a video of yours a few years back being weirdly offended how you talked about slovenia like we the audience had never heard of it, im not even from slovenia lol
i remember you responded to it and i was so shocked at how unreasonable i was the next day that i deleted the comment immediately
i like to think im not prone to things like that, i was in middle school at the time after all, but sometimes i think about that moment when i see others being unreasonable on the surface and think of myself in their shoes, weird how much that comment impacted my life lol
As per requested in the video I’ll leave a comment even though I’m watching it a month late... just want to say I recently discovered your channels (2kliks first) cos of all the Half Life Alyx content, and thought “this guy sounds like a reasonable bloke, and he’s funny!” so gave you a sub. Hearing you talk about stuff like this and your reasons for doing so just solidifies my first impressions of you! Keep up the good work! Every time I see you pop up in my subscription feed makes my day slightly better! Especially if it’s Half Life related!
its satisfying when you speak your mind when youre absolutley rigth phillip. love ur vids
I have to admit, I'm guilty of not posting positive comments as often as you deserve. I enjoy your videos for years. Yet to some degree I take them for granted, which I should not. Your videos are the ones of the few I actually insta-click because I appreciate the good quality. Even if I disagree with your opinion sometimes... if so, I at least get to see your point of view and have some food for thought. Edit: 9:50 yeah... that's me

Recent example i watched Ahrora's video where enemy dies a moment's later after he stopped shooting
Still love going back to the old ones
I know it's unrelated to the video, but I was just thinking about how many stories you have to tell. When I watch your videos, it's like listening to an old friend talk, while I sit there mute, nodding contently. It feels personal, and has really provided a stark contrast to my life, which has been so dull in comparison, until I get to listen to your tales, which are always warming and somehow relatable, even if I can't empathize with you on an experience basis.
Thank you for doing what you do. You provide a friendly voice to my solitude and it's made all the difference.
Just wanted to let you know that whenever a discussion about making online forums and comments a better place shows up, I link both of your videos, because I do believe the way you showed the good and the bad and their effects was reasonable, and everyone can understand you with little to no context about what type of videos you create and other details.
Just gonna say my opinion on this:
How a large community operates is on a spectrum with 2 extremes.
A. On one extreme, there is no moderation. A large community with no moderation becomes a toxic shitshow. If the creator endorses this behavior, it can lead to targeted hate towards anything the creator disagrees with. If the creator ignores the community's behavior, it ALSO leads to targeted hate towards anything the creator disagrees with. A lot of people don't get that second one.
B. On the other extrreme, there is heavy moderation. This leads to a community that treats their creator like a god. The creator could do some really bad shit, and the community would be right behind them supporting them along the way. If you don't have the same opinion of the group, the group itself will censor you without the creator even needing to do so once you get passed a certain point.
In conclusion, I think moderation is a tool that needs to be used, but also needs to not be overused. Finding the perfect balance is impossible, but you should always strive for it and critize your current method :)
A is def better than B, I see B soooo much on family friendly places, and it just ends up being a community full of 12 year olds who worship the creator. Unethical imo.

I do genuinely love how open Philip is with his audience, and I absolutely love this kinda 'behind the scenes' thought process thing that nobody else on TH-cam would ever dare to bring up. Love getting glimpses into things like these, and of course, I love watching or listening to Philip too :3 But yeah, you can have a heart from me too
Philip usually I'm a lurker on your videos, but this one has inspired me to make a comment.
Good content is a hard thing to find on TH-cam, and there are only a few channels I would put someone on to and recommend as genuinely good content. Your videos take tons of effort in the editing and even small details that just make it that much more polished that I've come to appreciate. Your videos are incredibly insightful, and informative, and always extremely interesting to listen to, and learn from. Even topics that have no initial attraction to me at first I will find myself being fascinated by. This is a fairly consistent result with your channel(s) and I truly love what you do. Thank you for the grief you go through to entertain and educate us.
Thankfully Iv'e only ever had to delete one comment, I'm okay with getting clowned in the comment section but the moment someone insults my friends, their comment goes in the gulag.
That's where I draw my line.
Sounds reasonable to me
Did not expect to find you here, also enjoy your vids.
But then you get deleted and end just like me, susan is a weird piece of shit
Go away and make more vids dweeb
I really like the idea of this video, I've always hate when people just randomly shout "FREE SPEECHS" without thinking anything. Yeah there's free speech but keep in mind that free speech doesnt mean free of consequences, and when they have to face their consequence they will say how this is an insulting their "freedom" to say whatever they like or some stuff
I agree free speech doesn't make you above consequences . All for social consequences ( people stop taking to you , ect) but governments shouldn't get involved
gotta hard agree, I mod a discord server and it's really time consuming telling people in pms about how free speech doesn't mean they can't get banned for spamming the N-word in general chat.
I remember seeing someone say something along the lines of: "Your free speech rights are worth as much as the stupid stuff you have to say"
and honestly, the people who do demand free speech just for the sake of free speech are the most suspicious, as klicky philipino already mentioned
If free speech was as aggressive as they say, Mute buttons in games and blocks wouldn't exist
You slightly stumbled over the word "probably" at 7:06
Literally unwatchable
Lol just stop making videos he isnt going anyware
A very good point was brought by you in this video, and previous ones- confidence is very deceitful. Sometimes people I talk to, who know nothing about a matter, talk about it with such confidence, that I start doubting my own knowledge in that specific topic.
That's why I tend to be on guard around people who seem very confident.
Love your videos Philip. I don't comment much, and have been typing out paragraphs and deleting them trying to find the right "oh, I'm so intellectual" comment, but there's enough opinions in the comments already. I'd just like to say that I love the positivity and honesty in your videos.
The most important thing to take away, in my mind: There's a difference between someone deleting comments from idiots saying people with disabilities aren't worth anyone's time (see youtube hearts vid for reference); and someone deleting comments that don't agree with them that Rey is a great "space wizard".
Good vid! Deleting "innapropriate" comments that are designed just to upset people is done on pretty much any forum or social group, so I don't see why your comments should be any different.
Infinite tolerance is a paradox. The more you tolerate intolerance, intolerance won't hesitate to delete tolerance and toxicity will take over, it's not sustainable. Glad you're doing your part to make the youtube comments just a slightly little bit better place. Even if you may as well be trying to stop an erupting volcano with a garden hose.
spoken like a true fascist
But that's not what the argument is. The idea of debate is that you discuss and argue with a particular viewpoint. Just because you allow these statements to be seen doesn't mean you agree with them. It's the same idea as people who are involved in a movement being responsible for everything a single person (who associates with that movement, however arbitrarily) does, no matter the action or beliefs of that group.
@@mikeymod3665 but thats not what the argument is. The idea is that people think their comments should be allowed, no matter what. even if they're intolerant, factually incorrect, or made with the express purpouse to upset and insult others.
to think the internet is a place for debates is rather silly, atleast for places like comment sections. an argument or conversation is not the same as a debate. noone gets convinced by debating as that is not even its goal, as a debate is more about convincing onlookers that you are right or the winner than anything else. even then, not everything should be debated everywhere, go debate somewhere else if you feel so strongly
It never even occurred to me that I have barely commented on a channel I'm so invested in.
as a small TH-camr that is starting to receive negative comments, I've previously removed anything even close to negative due to it generally hurting my feeling and throwing off the energy of my video. I'm going to put more consideration into what I delete, as always thank you Phillip
@@kliksphilip comments feel different to the creator of a piece of content, its weird stuff
I relate so hard to the people that pick out one little 0.5 second detail and that's all they want to comment on. "You said million when it should have been billion here" I spent 3 days on this and that's all you have to say...
I'd argue that the comment section is an extension of the video. I look at comments a lot to get alternate angles and I think it's good that the creator of the video can delete negative stuff. I think it's more your free speech than theirs, unless politics but that doesn't really apply there.
Also I'm from Cornwall too, very refreshing to see someone from where you live doing stuff
7:35 - basically the Dunning-Kruger effect. I see it a fair bit in CSGO...
Yeah if youre aware of how dumb you are youd be depressed oh wait.
Never left a comment, felt called out at the end. Been enjoying your video's back when you did mapping tutorials. You got me into mapping and i even tried to make some music after seeing your atempts. I'm sure this impacted my life for the better. Yet i never thanked you. Us silent watchers we really like your content. video's like sleep deprevation rollercoaster or the nostalgic parts in "Going low". Really are memorable. I love the music from you and your dad. I aint sure its because you use it so well or that its actually good but i still love it. So ye... You made me a better person. I could never return that favour, that why i never tried. So here is my attempt... Thank you again.

I love these videos so much! They're such a good way to connect with the audience!!
I fundamentally agree, your account, your video, your platform. Shape it the way you prefer. However, corporate entities shouldn't be permitted to do the same in my opinion. The power disparity is far greater, accountability basically nonexistent, and their sphere of influence and service has long moved from an enclosed private area to a more public space, albeit a virtual one.
But Philip, have you considered that your opinion is simply wrong And mine is right of course?

Imagine them posting this as they repeal the 1st amendment 🤔
The complete subjugation of reason is what you seek it seems. All I have to say is that the incorrect opinion are those that can be refuted, through your actions you seek not to refute but to silence.
TH-cam already deletes anything I comment with a swear word in it. Even on TH-cam comments that already have swear words on them. And sometimes it doesn't delete them. Great system TH-cam!
Your channel and a handful of others are the reason I spend so much time on TH-cam. There's a real craftsmanship here and a criative eye that elevates even the most mundane issues. I'm not one for interacting a lot since I'm not a native english speaker, but damn, you hot. Plz come to brazil
Funny timing, I've recently had one of my videos randomly start getting a steady flow of comments.
Previously, I've only really thought about deleting obvious spam or scams, and have responded in some way to a couple negative comments, but so far I've sufficed with just liking or disliking comments I particularly like or dislike (would be interesting having likes and dislikes visible on comments, like videos). Will see if I move towards your current method provided the flow keeps going, but thanks for the insight! Given me a nice jumping point to think about this stuff.
It's exactly right that freedom of speech only applies to governments. Saying a TH-camr or TH-cam itself cannot be allowed to censor things, is like saying you're not allowed to tell someone to not come into your house, or to leave it. It is private property. If you dont like youtube or a youtuber doing it, then take the free market approach and stop using youtube, or viewing the youtuber's channel. Just like if you dont like a grocery store making a ridiculous rule about something, then you should stop shopping there and go somewhere else.
I am really passionate about free speech. And I hate it when people misconstrue it to mean never being held socially accountable for what they say, or using to violate the rights of other people. It hurts free speech.
It's a shame so many people think the right to free speech is the same thing as the right to force everybody to listen to you.
Kgamer they can say what they want anywhere else, so they still have freedom of speech.
Heres my thoughts on the whole "censorship" thing:
TH-cam, for many a creator, is a business, which they do full-time. Imagine for a moment that it's like managing a store in real life. You and youtube are the owners of the store. You sell your product (your videos), have loyal customers and you have a certain reputation to uphold. Your current lifestyle is very much dependent on the success of your store.
Imagine now, if you will, that someone goes on a long, loud and angry rant inside the store. They say some nasty stuff and it makes the other customers uncomfortable, but nothing about it breaks any law. Obviously, the owner of the store escorts the nuisance out of the store. Doesnt matter if that person was right or wrong. Its not about that. Its about creating an environment in which customers feel safe and comfortable to be in. Happy customers are obviously way better for business than uncomfortable ones.
Kicking someone out of private property for their behaviour is the real-life equivalent of deleting a comment.
The channel's owner feels like a comment below a video is inapropriate and letting these comments stay below the video creates a negative experience for his audience. Or they have personal reasons. Or just because (people can be mean).
The issue with that line of thought lies in the legality of it. Most websites are treated like public places, so people expect the same laws to apply. But they dont, because the websites are owned by private for-profit companies.
So on one hand, youtube is a for-profit business that doesnt have to give a damn about your freedom of speech. On the other hand, youtube is very much treated like a public good by the users. Government, please fix!
The way most people do TH-cam, it's not a business but a job. A business is where you delegate tasks and stop needing to work 24/7.
And a job is where you need to constantly work for money. Most Yourubers are self-employed, but not a business owner.
Speaking from experience btw.
@@likysquad Sorry if I am mistaken, but I belive the original comment meant that TH-cam as a site is the business, and every youtuber is a clerk or other worker there. In any case his point still holds up. Its allowed to kick our people from your store if they are only there to yell around and be an asshat.
Thanks for your view though, you are correct that a youtuber could better be described as self-employed, but wouldnt that just mean that every youtuber's page is equivalent to their own business?
Government are old fogeys, almost exclusively. That's why it doesn't get fixed. Remember that "The internet is a series of tubes" remark?
Completely different scenario online.
Yelling and screaming causes actual PTSD, reading some words cannot. You can choose to not be upset from words. A loud disruption in a public space is.
You can do this publicly by silent protesting, you can post up, make a sign, and sit there.
This site is the same situation as that. Philip is practicing dictator esc practices. I do not support him as a influencer, setting the morality as an arbiter for the site is for the people to decide, not him.
I never agreed to him silencing another, what if I wanted to see what they typed, what if I want to catalog their data? And use it against them in a later debate? When you start doing practices like this, you keep pushing the line back.
@@HaloWolf102 "you can choose not to be upset from words" is bullshit. Getting insulted online is harmful to the person affected.
Instead if posting such uninformed lies, check some statistics on cyberbullying. The science is in, and you're wrong
Even though I never played CS:GO, some of your videos about it got recommended to me, and I decided to watch to get rid of the recommendations. Now I watch every single video from all three of your channels and enjoy every varying topic, from your old games, to new games, to your unneeded but thoroughly enjoyed video about being allowed to delete whatever you want since it's your comment section and you can do as you please with it. The music from your old games are nostalgic for me, even though I've only been here for a few years. Keep up the constantly intriguing videos, behind-the-scenes or Counter Strike's newest update.
I started watching because of CSGO in the past, but I keep coming back because watching your videos calms me down just by you being reasonable and showing some genuine passion and work. I find it hard not to be consumed by negativity or become negative myself whenever I find a new community or youtuber I'm interested in, so I'm glad some of the obvious unneeded negativity is filtered here. I appreciate it ^^
nice video
Please make a map making journey, just want to know how you got into it, loved the game making journey and it inspired me to make games. Thanks!
I do agree that deleting these nasty comments is a perfectly fine thing to do. You do you my guy
6:56 Oh this guy gets a heart AND A THUMBS UP? Picking favorites I see.. (sarcasm)
Doesn't matter what you talk about in your videos, I'm hooked. Been watching for a very long time, lately even more. I hope you continue to make videos for a while, as they make my free time a pleasant time.
Much appreciation & gratitude
I respect how honest you are with your channel(s). Some TH-camrs abuse how easy it is to make themselves look good on the platform but clearly you want us to see your intent regardless of how it affects ratings, subscribers and views.
I've been a lurker for years, here's my first comment here:
hi
MaroGnS hello :3

Hello there
Hi
Hi!
7:50 its called dunning-kruger efect.
There are two differences in censorship. First the personal censorship like you can do on your own videos (you don't need to argue with people at your own home), which is totally fine and the monopoly censorship, which TH-cam does by its own (like ban arguments in a whole city.), which is absolutely not ok.
i dont know how you can link youtube to doing that, unless youre talking about the suggestion-algorithm, but thats a complicated and necessary computer algorithm
kliksphilip you're content is so refreshing, the way you interact with your community
You spoke very specifically to me saying I can comment if I like, so here I am. Your videos are the most relatable I could find on TH-cam, and it isn't even because of the topic most of the time, you do a really good job with connecting the viewer.
Hey there, dear youtuber "kliksphilip"
I wanted to tell you that, since you read every single one comment, You are the only content creator who I wish in most videos to leave a comment. I guess it is beceause theyre great
See ya
we stan a kliksphilip that uses his right to delete garbage :)
whats a stan
Lobozo well there are multiple meanings I think it was a typo but a Stan is a overopsessive fan
Lobozo stan means degenerate in zoomer speak
@@edgarbernal1831 OK, Stan.
Autocratic kliks philip
I, for one, support the kliks empire.
For someone as hardworking (closed captions, attention to detail, revised scripts, admitting shortcomings and limitations, etc.) as you, I don't think deleting abysmal comments on your own videos is too much to ask for. I really miss the rant videos, I hope more are coming. Thank you.
Hey Philip, I'm one of those silent watchers who never comment on any videos (Maybe once a year). Recently I got "sucked" into your videos so much I kinda watched most of your videos on all your Philip channels in a week or so. So I would like to thank you for making such great videos and I realise how tough it is to produce videos for big masses. I, myself, am studying Informatics and Digital contents and I know how some comments are just irrelevant and straight-up mean. A person can have an opinion, but if he dislikes the video there are infinite ways to express one-self without coming out aggressively and toxic. Also, your "game making journey" videos rekindled my passion not only for video game design but also for video making. Other videos left some lasting impact for sure aswell, I rewatched some numerous time to remind myself of the ideas I had when I first watched them. I don't want to carry on too much, because you have 1000+ comments to read already in just one hour.
I want to contribute something positive here, even if necessarily not useful.
I love your videos and have a great day
It still boggles my mind that people equate free speech with lack of consequences...
... like its a "right not to be criticised"
Honestly I think most people comment negative stuff just to gain attention.
it s cry of help usually
The 4 dimensions of kliks and Philips
What i like about you is how open you are to your community.
Keep the good work man

There's two things to consider regarding "Freedom of Speech."
1. The first amendment DOES protect you against the government
2. "Freedom of Speech" also relates to the IDEA that one should foster open discourse where topics are discussed without boundaries nor taboos. Obviously, there are upper limits to this idea, differing from person to person.
The first amendment is a US thing, in France if you deny the holocaust you go to jail or you get fined by the governement for example (which is a good thing). Also freedom of speech should only go so far as to not hinder someone else's liberties (the paradoxe of intolerance touches that). I'm totally fine with websites not giving a plateform for hateful comments, whether that's against Philip or against minorities, as they have no rights to guarantee for these "haters".
TheTimon2000 that’s not a good thing, people should be allowed to say what they want to say even if it’s wrong or hateful. The fact that it’s being censored makes it seem suspicious too
@@SwainixFPV I can deny the entirety of the first world war or any other genocide, but for some reason not that one. So what is the message this law conveys? Should we ban all forms of historical arguments opposing the "official" course of history? I'm pretty sure you wouldn't say that's a good idea.
So what makes this even so different?
@@whothoughtthiswasagoodidea This law conveys that there's a difference between doing a historian's job (in researching things) and doing history revisionism (and going against real proof without your own proof). I think you can agree, it's like doing math but without proving what you say, it's non-sense and not scientific, and in the case of the holocaust, it's there to make sure it doesn't get denied (because we know for a fact it happened) and happens again for example. And no we shouldn't ban historical arguments, because they are what matter, but there are no real historical arguments against the Holocaust, the people that somehow doubt it happened have no historical arguments.
@@mlalbaitero why should people be allowed to spew hate or spread misinformation ? Like harassment is punished, encouraging hate towards a group or a person is punished, and that's normal. They can say "I dislike [.]" for all I care (they are just exposing themselves as assholes), but they shouldn't be allowed to say "Hey my supporters/fellow guys, you should all beat up every [.] you see walk in the street" because that will have consequences. Same thing for misinformation, if it can be proven that people voluntarily spread wrong information and that had serious consequences then yea they can be sued, once again, totally normal. And idk who thinks that the Holocaust is suspicious but that's definitely just a dogwhistle for racism/extreme-right shit.
You have the best personality and voice on TH-cam hands down 👊😎❤️
that, and background music. it’s a great combo!
I was very invested in that Control Gameplay ngl.
If they complain about small things, at least it means they're focusing enough to find it, whole video through.
