What videos. I can certainly say some YouTubers attract much better comments, but on average YouTube comments still strikes me as one of the dumbest places on the internet.
- hackernewds 4y agoOP's point though. The YouTube comments used to be an absolute joke and disaster. I'm sure it came at the cost of some non-insignificant revenue and engagement but there's a model where it works, that Twitter could emulate perhaps (if they cared).
- thanksgiving 4y agoYes, I have started watching the "how much do you pay for rent in New York (I think there are also other cities but I mostly get nyc videos) and the comments are polite, dare I say kind even. Very thankful for this change, whatever the cause might be :)
