>Lastly, does forcing these comments off negatively impact the rankings of these creators? Comments have traditionally played into the engagement of any said video and had an (understood) impact on how a video ranks on release. Are these channels now just permanently stunted in their future growth?
1) Yes.
2) Yes.
Youtube has taken this action without an overall plan. One of the Youtube creators was told as much in a chat with youtube support. (https://youtu.be/oeI0-ijIotk?t=504 https://youtu.be/oeI0-ijIotk?t=504) They indicated to him that some creators will be negatively impacted until everything is worked out. The program is working just like they planned. lol

Have you never dealt with a PR emergency before? Often, the "let's take two months to game this out" approach is not the most effective way to address the problem.
