Swearing in Videos. Yay or Nay?

[Lior Potolsky]

Hi, everyone!

Just curious, how do you feel about swearing on YouTube? How do you feel about a video with A LOT of it? What about a few "f***s" or "s**ts"? Or not at all?

(I just started a new show and haven't said anything "dirty" yet. Not sure if I should let myself "go there")

I swear in my videos. Not too often, but I do end up doing it unconsciously. I'm Scottish, I can't help it.

I think its best used the way John Oliver uses it. When you wanna make a point and so on. If its just a constant then it looses effect in my eyes.

I agree! The man is a master of his craft. Too much is definitely too much.

If swearing comes naturally, then just doooo it, I reckon.

I swear in my Unturned video Mostly because a zombie crawled up at me without me noticing and I get a scare and I start to swear. Or I'm about to get killed and I go.. F..F..F...F^&%#*^ You know?

It's a tool that has to be used very carefully. An f-bomb to highlight something extremely intense or frustrating can work well, cursing like a sailor ends up being insanely annoying, to say the least.

Yeah, I just have my moments in that game. It's not that I do that in all my video's

It depends on the age of your audience I guess, and if they are ok with you swearing

Yeah, just started, so right now my target audience is my friends (20-25 y/o), but in general, you're right.
