I was watching a recent video from the extremely popular youtuber (Torbyme) who spoke 16 languages in one video, I looked down at the comments and saw numerous people saying things like...

"Moses is a fake... put him to shame!"

"Moses needs to die"

"Moses is a horrible teacher"

etc...

I'm surprised at this, he is one of my favorite video makers. Can somebody tell me what I am missing here?

Haters gonna hate.

I'm not terribly familiar with his videos, and I'm not much of a language learner, but he seemed to know what he was talking about in his posts and videos.

He is none of those things.

He's very intelligent, friendly, I couldn't have a bad word to say about him.

Jealously from other people drive hate. Moses made a video along the lines of "If you have nothing nice to say, just don't post anymore." He also would not condone hateful speech on his videos. Some people look for attention, I mean hey, this is the internet. A lot of people just like to get into someone's skin if you know what I mean.

Moses is a great guy, always answering viewers questions and stuff :)

by the way, I think you confused Richard Simcott (not sure if this is the correct spelling) and Moses?

I'm unfortunately not really surprised, the more popular you become, the greater the number of morons and unintelligent comments that appear. Moses is of course a great guy with an honest, sincere passion for languages and a tireless work ethic. Of course, Moses is not the only one to receive such comments, Steve Kaufmann and Richard Simcott also get their share of morons.

The comment about Moses being a fake was on one of Torbyrne's (Richard's) videos. How it got that many thumbs up is a bit of a mystery to me.

Someone once said that the comments section of YouTube makes him lose all hope in
humanity. Although I haven't seen these particular comments, I imagine they are a good
example.

The only thing that I really dislike about his channel is the fact that it's enrolled in that "partner program" that Google ruined YouTube with. Other than that, it's pretty nice...

Okay, good, I was just wondering if I missed something despicable that he might have done.

Good to know he hasn't, I hate it when people I look up to wind up being frauds.
