MODERATORS
This is such a weird change that has happened in the last decade or so. I remember the comments on youtube videos being the absolute worst. There were definitely memes about "Youtube comment section being vile". I think that an improvement in moderation tools, plus a switch to an engagement model (aside from all of the negatives that brought) really changed the culture of commenting on youtube.
Youtube comments are still a meme. Useless vapid nonsense isn't much better than mean comments. Looking at the YouTube comments section is always a mistake.
