Scary You-Tube Pop ups?

Hello all! This question is for my 10yrs old son. He would like to know if there is a way to tell if the videos played on you Tube contain Pop Ups that are scary. Thank you everyone in advance. He won't listen to my response to him lol ;)

    Hey.

    So far, I've ran into a few of those things, scarying me more and more each time.

    BUT!

    I found a solution.

    check the comments first to see if anyone says that was scary, when it isn't actually supposed to be.

    Make sure it isn't too werid.

    Ex.

    "flying Pig Devours Kid"

    Its bound to have a pop up.

    also, click and hold the circle thing on the red line and go right slowly to see anyone werid like ugly head and random things, that is a pop up.

    Also, try not to put the speakers up high because it will scare you even more if you unfortunately have one in the video.

    Source(s): Hope it helps.

    Well There are 2 ways.

    1.Read the comments below if they are negative about the video regarding to the pop-up then you'll know.

    2.Drag the little circle across the line to see the video through in pictures and if you see a scary pop-up you'll know.

  • Okay, if you mean a video that says one thing but something scary jumps up when watching, this is how you do it. Just wait for the video to fully load then drag the little loading knob (or whatever it's called) across the loading bar. If something comes up exit the page. If nothing does, then just take it back to the beginning and it's safe.

  • hardly any videos have scary pop ups. the way to tell is if there is a really boring beginning bit, then the scary bit will be at the end.

    usually when they are pop ups they have scary or something in the title i had a teacher who loved to do those scary pop ups one was barney but the title was scary barney not just barney so tell him to look at the title before he watches them

    usually it would be about less than a 30 sec vid. and what i do is i check and see the comments. many well say things that scared them on that vid. sometimes it doesn't even have comment avalible so it would be a surprise. many times the title will make ppl want to watch it. like "joe jonas new girlfriend" or even it will say "in teh background theres a glitch, mistake, etc" something that will make you want to look closely.

    i have never seen a scary pop up on you tube.I am not sure what he considers scary.I think you could just use a pop up blocker if he's worried.
