Staying away from popup youtube videos.

[yoshi12]

For those who don't know what popup videos are, They are sudden freaky pictures that scream. I hate them and know to stay away from them.

Hint 1 Only go on if it has a 5 or 4 1/2 rating. Normal people give popups a 0 rating
hint 2 Check for unusual time limits
hint 3 Videos from channels are less likely to have a popup

Has anyone else been caught off guard one time or another?
Youtube isn't bad but people like to mess with other people there. Please enjoy youtube :-D

They're called Screamers.


Also in the Description they say look Carefully at something.


It freaks me out.

Another useful tip...
Look at the other user's comments too. They usually tell if there are scary things pop-up.

I flippin hate those things.

I actually haven't seen any of them. I hope I don't see any, though.

I hate them! I haven't seen any but I almost have but I stay away from them. One time my friends were going to watch some so I went downstairs and stayed there (I said I needed to go to the toilet ).

Thanks for those tips! That really helps! :-D

THE JOKES ON YOU! I LOVE THAT SONG!!!

 

[Marioguy]

Argh I clicked on it and that Video was playing. However when I exited...it won't let me. It trapped me on that song!

I found a real petition but I can't post it here because of the language but I did hear of another screamer. The screamer is called Chris Angel video. I didn't watch it and neither should you. This is just to warn you
