Comment on Signed up to a whole new account, whole new email, and STILL getting this from Youtube.

I’ve never had a good experience commenting on YouTube. I’ve never once had an intelligent, thoughtful response to one of my comments. Being blocked from commenting on YouTube is a blessing. That’s why I use Piped.

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.

Every single comment I’ve ever seen on that site without exception has been astonishingly mindless. It makes Facebook comments look like a lot of geniuses by comparison, and that’s not even getting into the frequent white nationalist content.
Even the comments I’ve seen on presumably more thoughtful channels like Audible Anarchist are colossally moronic.
But like you said there’s a lot of content on YouTube, so it’s possible that I’ve just had the misfortune of never seeing an insightful comment anywhere on YouTube since 2006.
