Fanpop Is anyone getting tired of their video updates being filled with hundreds of fan music videos from a specific-few fan sites?

Yes! They're all pretty much the same, just with different songs.
Very annoying..

Well that's why filtered updates are so awesome! I have taken away videos from my updates and sometimes you miss out a good video every now and then but you dont get any of the fan vids so it is good.

It's annoying when you can't find anything (new promos, trailers, interviews etc.) because someone decided to add 100 new fan videos. Maybe it would be easier if there were two categories (like one for fan videos and one for "normal" stuff)? :S

I enjoy fan videos, so it doesn't really bother me. I mean sometimes people definitely add too many at once, but it doesn't bother me too much. Although I agree with waldorf- I think there should be subcategories for videos, just like there are for images- one for full length episodes, one for fanvids and one for other stuff.

I filter just for video updates, but then I'd start getting 4 pages of Harry Potter or Twilight fan videos in 24 hours, so I just left the groups.

Yeah I love Twilight but I'm getting tired of it dominating my updates so I think I may have to de-fan myself...

Well, kinda. Additional options to change settings to specific spots would be nice! :)

you can filter your updates so you don't get videos thats what I did and it is much easier you know when about the episodes are going to be so just check the video section once in a while.

Ok, so now I had to filter my updates- but not for fanvids! lol For popquizzes! Someone keeps adding HP quizzes of what the chapter names are for each book! They just go through and ask what each chapter name is. Grrr, it's filling up my updates and they're stupid questions that didn't take any thought at all to create. And now I have to filter my updates. :P

I got you beat I had to take off screencaps and photos as well as videos, lol but I am fine with that cause it is a lot easier to do a random check on the stuff than have them dominate my updates.

But I'm happy they're contributing! I'd just like to be able to see updates from my OTHER non-popular spots. Gossip Girl and Blair & Chuck get way too many video updates and I can't see anything else!

It mainly bothers me whe people do loads at once after another user has just uploaded something new, because it pushes the other user's thing way down on peoples updates and off the main page and makes it more likely that the other user's video wont get seen.

It's happened to me a few times, I'll add a link or video and seconds later, before anyone has had a chance to see it someone will add about 10 videos at once and once that has happened your link/video is never seen coz no-one is going to watch all those videos.

I think there should be a limit to how many of a specific thing (videos/links/images whatever) that a person can upload per day.
