There are at least as many sh*tty people in Youtube comments that there are on Twitter. I can’t count the number of times I’ve come across stupid comments on otherwise serious videos, and when checking the commenter’s own channel I find they subscribe to the usual idiocy (Veritas, Shapiro, Fox News, etc.)

I wish Youtube channel creators would not be so hesitant to kick-n-ban commenters.

I have noticed that many government and academic channels do not allow comments.
