I've seen it happen with Simpsons clips, scenes from the Harley Quinn show, covers of Doom songs, etc. The algorithm and automodding is a disaster

What's worse is not being able to save them to a playlist/Favorites because it's considered collecting data on children.

Let's face it, its only edgy toxic shut ins commenting on those vids. It'll be bad for society as a whole

Kobe > LeBron. It's only internet stat nerds who think Lebron is better. Watch the games and stop calculating Lebron's PER with your wristwatch calculator.

You can from the search page, just not the video itself.

YouTube comments have always actively detracted from the site's quality

What's weird is in my experience, the quality of comments have generally gotten better and less toxic over time. But the control of the comments by Youtube have made them worse.

The only time it is non toxic to look at comments is for how to videos

Like almost everything social media type companies do "for the kids", it's a case of good idea, shit execution.

The uploader has to set the vid to "not for kids".. Im guessing they either dont know, maybe assume itll get more views with the "for kids" setting (prob does generate more views tbf), or are just inactive

The problem is that if you set a video as Yes, it is made for kids, it means you can't have an ad on the video which means you can't monetize it. Even if the stuff I do is family friendly, I never set it as 'Yes, this content is made for kids' because that way I can monetize it if I want.

Yeah but YouTube can veto your decision and make it "for kids" if they disagree with your decision.

I prefer using tv apps for youtube and having no comment section at all. It's all trainwrecks that are hard to look away from.

some uploaders inserted a mandatory swearing to prevent being flagged by YouTube kids, pretty smart move.

I get blocking comments even though it's annoying

But I don't get why I can't add the video to any of my lists. That's dumb as hell.

Talking about video games? it's ok to just disagree with each other on the internet. No point getting hostile or snide about it
