if they actually remove comments, I’m done. the API scandal got me off of Reddit and the comments being gone will get me away from YouTube. I only really watch it while I’m eating as is.
I see. Well, at least my local rehike front-end won’t break then. but still that’s so bad. I hate the new trend of every desktop site pretending you’re on an iPad in terms of layout.
If they get rid of comments I will find a way to visit them more. Video comments are freaking toxic I can’t say I’ve ever found anything useful in them either
I disagree, and maybe my tastes are niche. I’m a very amateur gunsmith and look up how-to’s on weird shit I can’t figure out. Often the answer is in the comments.
“This guy has mostly got it, but do step B before A.”
Or:
“I had this issue and fixed it with $X.”
I’d guess a lot of technical/mechanical/niche stuff works like that? I don’t look at the comments on popular stuff.
Same. Comments are needed for pretty much everything I use Youtube for. If you’re just watching a streamer or something I guess they can go away but I’m trying to learn shit here.
I generally agree with you, but if you have a moment, go check out the comments to this one song. I dunno what weird human resonance it hit but all the comments are incredibly sweet and endearing even at 55m views https://youtu.be/tSv04ylc6To?si=0SNNfvvsI2aBFnWa
I don’t visit the comments often, so I can see what you mean cuz a lot of times they can be quite toxic. But I think choosing between having them or not having them, I would choose having them just for the ones that do like the system, cuz I can just easily ignore the comments section. I also felt the same way with the dislike button though and you see what they did with that lmao

I think they just swapped it over to the bottom right side and swapped the video feed to center left, but it’s still super scuffed imo.
