Ah. Maybe it is specifically for teen. Because every time I scroll down there I instantly regret it. Not only the content of comments have no added value, but it's not funny, or even most of the time remotely intelligible.
And I say that why understanding the appeal of the content in video games forum, which on my personal quality scale is already very low.
- wyclif 8y agoYouTube comments have very low value. Much lower than Facebook threaded comments, because at least you're friended those people whereas on YT they're all randos trying to get attention.
- always_good 8y agoView the comments of any widespread post on Facebook like the video on a popular page. It's even worse than Youtube comments because it shows that people post the same shit under their real name that their friends/fam can see. They aren't people you know.
- ballenf 8y agoDoes anyone understand the sorting algorithm used? On the rare occasion I go to yt comments, I’m baffled why garbage throwaway comments with few votes are higher than thoughtful highly voted responses.
- detaro 8y agoAs far as I know, it's an activity metric. So negative votes send it upwards too, as do many outraged or joke replies.
