Personally, I find that the quality of Youtube comments varies with the content of the video. Some users post videos that always lead to excellent discussion. I think the quality of Youtube comments reflects the quality of the content, more than anything else.
Why else would Facebook comments be so bad and sterile? Facebook's content consists mainly of more narcissistic fluff than even a beauty magazine could contain.
- stfu 15y agoVery much true. I don't get the idea of complaining on the lack of depth of youtube comments, when most of the vids are just uploaded by some angry kid in the basement. Speaking of quality, anyone having watched TV lately?
- paganel 15y ago> I think the quality of Youtube comments reflects the quality of the content, more than anything else. So very true. Just last night I spent close to 2 hours reading the YouTube comments on some Romanian "lăutari" music (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C4%83utari http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C4%83utari) videos, and learning so much by doing so. But if you were to move just slightly to watching a related music style, "manele" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manele http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manele), which are more popular in this day and age, the comments would go way down, at the point where one out of three comments is either racist or a badly spelled swear word.
