> YouTube's comments are some of the absolute worst I've seen on the web. It's interesting that YouTube has made no effective efforts to improve their quality. For lowest common denominator kind of content, I absolutely agree. However, as soon as you step even a little bit off the beaten path, comments become a lot more reasonable and often interesting/useful. On all the videos on all of the channels I actually subscribe to, the comments are not bad. There are random assholes here and there, but they seem to be mostly shunned by the rest.
