Cramming everything into one flat thread has already been done in phpbb and works for small threads but big threads get into issues when you are not interested in every part of the discussion but only some.
- derefr 8y agoHow about a modification of my proposal: 1. the creator has their own private forum (e.g. a Discord group); 2. you, as a potenial commenter, can easily join said group as a guest, with your YouTube credentials used to identify you in the group; 3. or you can also just post "into" the group without joining it, using the form below the video; 4. the community itself can be deputized to moderate such comments; 5. the community can have all sorts of thought-provoking discussions in response to such comments, visible to one-another in the (private) group; 6. the content-creator would have an easy interface to "highlight" any given thread/subtree of conversation from the group, making it into a visible comment thread appearing below the video. Essentially, this proposal would just take each YouTube channel, and make its comments section into a private forum under the content-creator's control; and then, separately, make the "comments section" below the video into a sort of moderated "best of" version of that forum's discussion of the given post.
- kkarakk 8y agojust promotes a "goto reddit/discord" mentality which hurts discussion once reddit/discord cracks down on your interests.
