YouTubers can now pause comments after Google moderation tweaks
Some moderation tools have also been renamed to make them less confusing.
I don't trust videos that have comments disabled, they're usually shills or BS.
Depends on the content
If it's a product or service, then I'll find other sources before buying
If it's an academic source lecture recording or news story, then I prefer comments to be disabled. Shows me that the channel cares enough about it
That’s good so when someone releases a 4 hour video about me I can just pause my comments.
lol that was my thought too.
This is going to be great for people distributing misinformation.
Good work google, making sure people have an even HARDER time distinguishing reality on your platform.
Dude this is only like 10 years too late. Youtubers deserve comorehensive moderation and curstion tools. Youtube comments should be at the forefront of video discussion.
This sounds like a positive change though
No it isn't. Now people will not be able to comment on videos if the creator decides to make a controversial video. Without dislikes and now the ability to disable comments, youtubers can make up any kind of garbage and misleading content and you will not be able to verify it by looking at the dislikes or comments.
