    It was inevitable when they shut down the forums. They can’t be bothered with moderating user interactions.

      It’s surprising YouTube still has them given how notoriously bad they are.

        Youtube just allows the bots to flow freely. I will get anti Biden/west spam even on funny cat videos.

        Recently they’ve made them a tremendous pain in the ass to find and to see, thanks to an absolute dogshit redesign.

        And honestly the quality of Youtube comments has been above-average in the last couple years. At least for whatever nerd shit I’ve been watching.

          Yeah but there’s always the first reply to a comment that’s a blatant bot with a comment line “here’s that video you were looking for” or whatever.

            Ah. You’d figure Google of all companies would be better at catching that. When the second episode of The Amazing Digital Circus premiered, every single comment had an identical reply full of generic trolling.
