    Turning off comments as an independent YouTube creator is these days potential career suicide, as ‘engagement’ is a huge part of the algorithm. What you’re “supposed” to do these days, is engage with comments (literally like and reply!) early in your career, when the stream of feedback small and manageable, to drive engagement, and stop looking when they become unmanageable. This strategy is rewarded by YouTube. Many creators struggle to draw that line because it can feel like turning their back on their fans.

  Rightfully so. I've worked with people who are qualified to do this (literally, a person who stared into a synchrotron) but they limit their commentary to the scientific literature.
