...people actually read youtube comments?
- bombcar 5y agoThe first few highest rated comments are worth a glance, because if somethings critically wrong it’ll usually be mentioned there.
- randomblock1 5y agoNow that we don't have a dislike button, the comments are the only option.
- spicybright 5y agoNot when it's sorted by most votes. Every comment you see is "this video is so good!" even if it's not. Basically useless.
- coredog64 5y agoI’m guilty of this. I follow some smaller channels and I want to encourage them and to juice the algorithm a bit by giving them some engagement beyond a “like”.
- spicybright 5y agoDefinitely don't feel guilty! It's great to support content creators you like. I'm just arguing the comments section is weighted for those types of comments, so it's a poor indicator if you'll actually like the video or not.
- paulpauper 5y agoexcept when critical comments are removed

- dncornholio 5y agoI haven't seen many critical comments anymore. Even on videos that are just completely wrong, the top comments are alway full of praise.
- sumtechguy 5y agoI blocked them with ublock a few years ago. It was too tempting to engage in silly online arguments over things that really in the long run did not matter.
