> YouTube had a bit of reputation for some of the lowest-quality comment sections anywhere

Has this reputation changed much?



I found top Youtube comments to be more or less funny/enjoyable now. The shitty comments got downvoted so I no longer see them unless I delibrately try to see them, they don't appear. It's very different from youtube comments back then. But then they are still mostly unhelpful/uninformative.


This might be true for some videos. But there seems to be a first in approach behind the sorting. The first who says something remotely relevant is often the top comment for a long while. I can not see much quality in those posts usually. Newer posts Barely have a chance to get to the top if you aren't a youtube influencer in some way.
