Thanks bruh, if I had the patience to deal with ads maybe I’d watch YouTube.

lol, considering the “quality” content in the comments section it’s just going to be a continuation of that dumpster fire.

prole ,

I would never go as far as to say that they’re “quality,” but I do think YT comment sections aren’t the complete shitshow that they were a decade or so ago. It really does depend on the channel though too.

This sounds like a great spot for scammers to flood for maximum visabilty. It’ll be too much effort to moderate, so creators will just disable them (if they can) or this will be shut down in about (checks YouTube’s history of dealling with scammers) 3.5 years.

I mean, if this is basically Twitter’s Community Notes feature, but for YouTube, I’m all for it. Bit of a balancing act, but it’s the last thing that hasn’t been completely wrecked now that Twitter became Xitter.

    Honestly never seen that happen.

    Most times, I see it used on ads, political figures, and Elon himself.

    Doesn’t the quagmire currently known as the website formerly known as Twitter already have this feature? Sounds like Y’tube is late to the party.

    So more virtue signal crap. Got it.

    This guy is a dumbass lmao

    timmymac ,

    You sound stupid when you don’t have independent thought. Maybe not here in this circle jerk but in the real world.

    …Must have been the wind.

    You are very angry about this

    Halosheep ,

    Amazing how often user’s notes disagree with your worldview isn’t it?

    I wonder where the problem stems from. Could they all be wrong?

    timmymac ,

    It’s amazing how your worldview lines up with what the media told you to say. Not a single independent thought.

    Halosheep ,

    Why do conservative “independent thoughts” always result in the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard?

    Holyginz ,

    Because some of the dumbest people in the world are the ones who told them to say it.

    Holyginz ,

    Who told you to say that? Seriously you obviously didn’t think it up yourself since everyone of you sounds the exact same, so who is it who owns you?

    papertowels ,

    When conservative media pushes the same news script to over 200 local news stations across the nation, it is dangerous to our democracy.

    neclimdul ,

    So we can explicitly graffiti videos but we can’t add translations. 🤯

    Advertisers working in your native language cannot hijack your attention when foreign language videos are running. Subtitling facilitates that, and encourages site activity that differs from consumption, such as broadening one’s horizons and being inquisitive about the real world.
