MODERATORS
You. I wasn't thinking that putting a comment on a youtube video would change the world. Just that allowing comments invites discussion, which is much more than most right-wing safe spaces. Youtube as an org has its problems, like the alt-right pipeline, but individual creators can still be roasted in the comments, and other creators can still do video replies.
Compare that to calling in on a talk radio show, where your words are cut up and used against you.
Those comments are moderated and often just disabled.
And making them promotes those videos, through Youtube's shitty algorithms.
And chopping up damning responses into nonsense is a lot easier for video than for live radio.
Oh sure. Also, 1 good comment in 10k generally doesn't get seen. It's kind of a bare minimum thing I am refering to. Social media is terrible but it's at least good that it's social. I am refering to the "community" aspect of twitter's "community notes" for instance. Would be great to have that next to everything really. That's what value the comment section could hold. Kind of like having meaningful discussions on a small lemmy community. It's a damn shame sometimes what content gets promoted and what doesn't. Anyway I am rambling.
