Surprised nobody's commented yet about the jarring juxtaposition of the running chat that reflects the sentiment of average Youtube viewers alongside content that's meant for a fairly specific audience (developers).
Or rather... how discouraging it is that it IS such a juxtaposition.
It's well-known by now that Youtube is not the place to go to find quality discussion. It still stings a little bit to see it applied in realtime to people you care about, even if it is just because you loosely share a profession and professional culture.

- niuzeta 11y agoI've heard of that extension. Does that make it better? What happens if there are multiple discussion threads in reddit of the same video? I assume the extension does a pseudo-submit/match-check to the reddit first to fetch the thread.
- minthd 11y agoIt shows a tabbed interface of the few most popular discussion threads over reddit.
- PascLeRasc 11y agoYeah, I hope Youtube doesn't try to become Twitch. It might be more appropriate to have a live twitter feed of some related hashtags.
- jsingleton 11y agoThere is a button to hide the chat box. I couldn't click it too soon.
