Tell HN: YouTube comments section gone to trash. Almost every comment is spam
- spxd 4y agoYoutube lost the comments war years ago. More than 90% of videos are marketing techniques to attract watchers to bring their money. There are too much ads, comments are from bots such us likes, subscribers. Seems like instagram, fb, tw. Another network to avoid. And if you don't like ads, buy a subscription...for fake videos. Are we all idiots?
- sys_64738 4y agoYoutube is largely for entertainment purposes for me. I avoid the ads in videos by using M$ Edge with UBlock Origin.
- warning26 4y agoWas it ever anything else? I remember an XKCD from like 15 years ago joking about how awful YouTube comments were.

- sys_64738 4y agoWhat Youtube videos do folks find valuable? I actually like listening to some of the Mac ones like Max Tech and Luke Miani but they are there for the views which is fine but I think they are entertaining nonetheless.
- yuppie_scum 4y agoBro YouTube comments have never had any value other than maybe financial value for the content creators
