An hour long video with comments turned off? A summary would be useful...
- worewood 5y agoYeah.. I can understand this block on political videos or other sensitive topics but on this? Well if you can't take the criticism perhaps don't post it on youtube.
- Etherlord87 5y agoIt's sad how bad Youtube comments are, but usually some good comments float to the top, and while neither high confidence of a comment author nor high number of likes of the comment give you a guarantee that it's right, often a comment will be a good lead - for example it could link to this HN conversation on the video. I took a glimpse what people here say about the video and I find too many criticisms to consider it reasonable to spend time watching the video...

By the time we had got to the third iteration of “before I tell you the thing I’m going to talk about let me (define what a law is/critique Harvard business review/give an irrelevant sidebar about the language of technical papers and the fact ‘Datamation’ still exists”) I totally had lost any and all interest.
