There's two kinds of videos I watch. The first ones are ones I find on the internet, usually immensely popular. I ignore comments on these.
The second are videos from my friends, or select channels I subscribe to. These usually have a small viewer base (<10000 views), and in the comments one can actually have a useful discussion.
Of course now many of these small feeds say 'Comments are disabled for this video'. I assume it's because the channel owner does not want to link their google+ account, or some technical fuckup - it seems unlikely they'd all change their settings, but I guess it's possible.
- jff 13y agoComments generally get disabled because people were Saying Mean Things. Next time you see that, look at how many likes/dislikes the video has--odds are it may have a lot of dislikes. Or the owner could just be taking a stand against the terribleness of Youtube comments by not allowing any.
- Anderkent 13y agoNo, I can't see comments on old videos that I'm 90% sure had comments before. Though it seems it's only on a couple channels, so maybe they have retroactively disabled comments on all their videos.
- jff 13y agoThat's what I mean, I'm pretty sure you can disable comments and it will hide all the existing comments.
