I can't remember ever once reading a youtube comment and being glad I did. They are certainly not valuable enough to take away video real estate.

- OJFord 2y agoI mostly only watch 'technical' videos like machining, 3D printing, electronics, etc. so sometimes I might think something's wrong or strange and appreciate validation from a commenter saying the same (or learn with them when someone replies in correction). Or someone will chime in plausibly claiming experience/relevance to the thing discussed and provide some additional interesting information, in the same way we see in comments on HN. There's a lot of crap too of course, but at least on content that's informational to begin with (not saying memes and music videos) there do exist good comments.
- blehn 2y agoyou can expand the video into "theater mode" and it will fill the window width. just as before.
