Am I the only one who misses ALL CAPS RAGE COMMENTS and horibly mispelled wrod sallad comments? Oh, and remember link comments? And what about those ascii art ones that you had to click on "see more" to get the full effect from? Oh or how about, substantive comments that disagreed with the the content of the video? Yeah, those were great, back before every video was watched mainly by subscribers who would become the echo chamber for content creators, even if they and YouTube mods (see the algorithm) didn't purge you first. Yeah, YouTube comments are great if you never want to be challenged by anything.
- causi 5y agoYoutube started being a corporatized content farm the day they removed video replies.
- TremendousJudge 5y agoI only remember video replies as a feature that allowed spammer camgirls to show their face on the related video feed
- SllX 5y agoI remember them as something I ignored after about the first week, and the first week as basically the first inklings of political YouTube. “Neat” when it’s sitting on a whiteboard, but not all that engaging nor interesting in reality.
- alexb_ 5y agoThe comment system right now is pretty much the same thing... every single video has a comment section full of scam websites.
- corobo 5y agovideo replies were a corporatized content farm themselves tbf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reply_girl https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reply_girl
- bloodyplonker22 5y agoI feel your rage, but wait until you read Reddit comments.
- scrollaway 5y agoSorry, are we playing the same universe? Youtube comments used to famously be the "worst of the worst", and the example you'd give to people if you wanted them to lose their faith in the internet.
- robrenaud 5y agoI am pretty sure OP was sarcastic and you missed it over text.
- scrollaway 5y agoHow sure are you about that?
- 0xedd 5y agoWrong. Think of it like slap stick comedy. It's light, it's brain dead and you don't invest emotion in. Googs tried to make YouTube a more corporate friendly place

- SuoDuanDao 5y agoYou can still sort by chronological... it's not the same, but it helps remember what was lost.
