“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” ~ Theodore Roosevelt

Interestingly enough, Forbes, just published a piece on the #1 YouTube channel PewDiePie and included an interesting quote on his choice to remove the comments on his YouTube Videos.
“PewDiePie’s content may seem relatively lowbrow to some, full of catch phrases and screaming as he does ridiculous things in games to amuse his fans. Yet, he’s shown a business sense far beyond his 25 years, amassing 34 million subscribers with 7.2 billion video views and a $4M a year income. He’s also been a trendsetter on YouTube, pioneering practices like turning off comments permanently on all his videos, aware of how they add nothing to his content.”
