jesus christ just have collapsible replies, why the fuck is it designed in such a dogshit manner
I personally think it should be even worse, to deter me from reading youtube comments.
i like how they made it on mobile where you have to go out of your way to read them. also even on desktop a lot of the times, for me anyway, they dont load in unless you scroll way down to see them lol
Youtube has an incredible amount of wasted potential cause Google is so fucking lazy about making things actually good and integrated. The absolute king of "good enough". Gmail and maps are two things they actually do well, but there are still some real flaws in those too.
Having such a confusing and muddled system works to keep people from actually communicating or organizing. I think it's intended.
It's like FB in that way - if it encouraged proper discussion it might make good takes stand out. This way you just have to be the first reactionary asshole in line
I used to have an extension that would load up comments from Reddit threads of Youtube videos instead and that was nice.
That's usually what I do to see actual discussion now, just copy the code of the youtube video and search all of reddit by URL
i love going like 20 branches deep and finding a "GOD LIVES" reply
