Why do you consider not reading comments an improvement? Just asking because I'm curious.

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The comments are the best part

I prefer to knowingly commit mental suicide, like by coming here.

The vast majority of YouTube comments are incredibly dumb. I hope the reason is that it's mostly kids.

It heavily depends on the content. While on dumb Videos there are dumb comments and on Minecraft Videos there are childish ones on the high quality of entertainment I watch only perfectly balanced comments are shown.

It's true that they're less "facepalm-inducing" under the smarter videos, but any entertainment video with wide enough appeal is gonna be littered with comments that will make you feel like you're having a stroke while reading them. It usually gets worse if the channel is more family friendly, I assume because the YouTube algorithm serves it to kids a lot more.
