I’ve had a good experience with YouTube comments but I feel they are pretty pointless as:
there is no search function:Ctrl f only takes you so far as it just looks at what is currently present and sometimes even hidden by display more or within replies, it’s very annoying.
people spam a lot and comments only load in batches: 10k comments in popular videos saying shit like ‘sir thank you sir, excellent tutorial, I didn’t understand anything but I like using React’.
some comments get auto removed: if you want to post a workaround or some piece of code, it gets removed if there’s a link or link-looking structure.
I mostly comment on tech-related tutorials just to post a list of the issues I had and the solutions, from time to time I get pinged with more questions and people are generally grateful and sometimes other people mention better/easier workarounds.
