Don’t think so, but hopefully it will!

I’m too old. I still live by the mantra “Never scroll down on a youtube video. There be trolls.”
Is this built into Freetube?

It used to be the case that YouTube comments were one of the lowest forms of communication known to mankind. It isn’t anymore, not for several years now. There actually are sometimes some intelligent insights displayed prominently there. I suppose they probably changed their algorithm somehow.

Facebook is only really useful for really small niche communities where most posts don’t get more than a handful of comments.

Ha ha no. Go search for videos about space or Antarctica or JFK etc etc. The comments are full of schizos.

YouTube became weirdly positive and fake a while ago, I actually think the mega cesspit of YouTube comments hasn’t been reality for a few years now.
I can’t tell if that’s because the Gen Z online communication style is to celebrate everything, which is nice, or because there’s an algorithm in place somewhere to make the comments more marketable, which is lame.

The latter. Creator still complain about comments because they see all the negative ones. YT just does sentiment analysis on them all and hides anything critical.

I’m a millenial and I write exessively researched comments backed by papers on youtube whenever I see stupid BS takes. Even under shorts. Glad those get more traction.
