1. I put Dire Straits into to search engine and I hit "Snowman Hunter"

4. I've never had this problem before..

Youtube used to be so cool but now it's not only censored, it seems to be soaked in weird death threats...

11. Now I'm confused

What is wrong with the Bronze Fawn video? It's an instumental song with a CGI video. The fawn is turned to bronze at the end. Is there something I'm missing?

3. define "pops up"

Do you mean the video appears on the main page, or when you do a search? Or do you mean it literally pops up in a seperate window?

If you mean it pops up in a separate window then you've probably got some kind of adware software installed.

7. No! It says my old links have been removed and then....

I get this...

I haven't watched all the videos in these csches but they look pretty hostile to liberals...

8. I'm sorry

I won't be clicking the links you provide for two reasons. 1) I'm on my dial-up enabled laptop. 2) I am squeamish about clicking any odd links unless I know a little more about the situation.

I will advise you to perform the general PC cleaning stuff. Clear your cache, history and cookies. Run your anti-virus, anti-spyware applications.

Good luck.

6. I'm tired but I'm coming back to this.....

And the people that made this video...

10. okay

I'm on the broadband machine now.

Sorry for being retentive but when I read the words "pop up", I think of a popup ad.

Like TheBaldyMan said, they probably just spam the crap out of their vids and use every keyword in the book to get a high placement on YouTube favorites. I would imagine they've also created several "sock puppet" identities as well.

Sadly, it was bound to happen. A site gets ridiculously popular and the hucksters and jerks take over.

9. could be spammers pushing their views up to get high ratings

There are some extreme RW groups and posters on YouTube but they do get their a/c suspended if you complain about them.

There always are FReeptypes that form little race hate circle-jerks and bump up their view counts. I've not been a YouTuber long enough to know if this has always been the case but the impression I get is this is a recent development because YouTube has grown so much recently.

It used to be very techie and liberal because these were the sort people that knew about YT early on and used it. The larger number of YouTubers have meant YT has sucked in troglodytes. That's progress I suppose. If the stuff is objectionable complain. Yesterday, I tried to complain about a Neo-nazi poster but his account had already been suspended before I could report him :D
