YouTube comments on videos where there's a new page of comments every time you refresh are awful, and not worth paying attention to. On a lot of types of videos, comments add absolutely nothing. The one exception I've found is for music, where the plays on the video are between 10,000 and 500,000 or so. The discussion is pertinent and sometimes interesting, and I've had a couple of good back-and-forths on those kinds of videos. I'm not sure if adding real names will help expand the number of videos where discussion is decent, but I don't think it will hurt.
