Why are so many people on youtube uneducated?

I was reading several videos and noticed that a lot of people who comment tend to just state their idiotic opinions. The very few people who provide scientific evidence get mocked and ridiculed beyond belief. So why are there so many ignorant uneducated people on youtube posting comments without any evidence to support their claims?

    Thousands of years ago, in hunter-gatherer societies, all members had about the same amount of knowledge and intelligence; those who were stupid or incapable were either educated to make the cut or were shunned.

    As human discoveries began to progress, the uneducated masses began to have more excuse, if you will, to kick back and simply relax. Those who were part of the human progression, such as scientists, engineers, and inventors, possessed much more knowledge than the masses. Our little pattern continues to this day; higher percentages of lazy and ignorant; lower percentages of the educated. However, the latter group's intelligence increases.

    And now, look at our society today. There are masses of idiotic, opinionated people swarming society and public domains such as YouTube, which you mentioned before, and a minority of "superbrains" running the place. On a final note, there certainly aren't limited spots for "superbrains," the reason why there are fewer and fewer intelligent people is because the uneducated are safe to stay uneducated. I shall now step off my soapbox, and I'm sorry for such a lengthy answer!

    What do you expect on youtube? One person will say it's Hendrix, the other person will say it's Clapton. There is a lot of heart and soul in youtube, not just the mind. Relax.

    Because there are simply a LOT of uneducated people out there, period!

    My father always told us that if 100 was the "Average IQ" that you have to remember that half of them are above that, and half are BELOW Average.

    Everyone likes to speak, but only few have things to speak about.

    Sites like Youtube give those with nothing to say the chance to say something.

    Hopefully because the educated people are doing something useful with their lives instead of wasting their time on youtube.

    Because youtube is split into two parts. One is full of stupid people who have nowhere to go with their lives, and the other part of it is full with people like you and me (the ones who hate the others).
