total biscuit comment section

[Brandenhee]

Just wondering why all of his videos are void of comments.

[GhostWindGamer]

he locks it and sends people to the rubbish site called reddit 

[TheDotNet]

He has a Reddit post about it somewhere, or a video, one of the two.

[NeatSquidYT]

YouTube comments were effed up by G+ a while back, so a lot of YouTubers disable comments for a while. TB just didn't bother.

Reddit is great

[minibois]

Because YouTube comments suck.

Blocked.

Have you ever read youtube comments... its nothing but a bunch of filth. I'd disable it too if i was him.

[Ren]

He got sick of having to deal with the comments section (this was before the latest comments section changes) and said he'd disable them from then on out.

He has at least 1 video on it, dunno why you wouldn't check his channel.

This video circa 2013 explains most of his issues centering around the mandatory Google+ integration. EDIT: Ninja'd by @Ren

It essentially boils down to this:

Basically this.

 

Youtube comment section is usually a cesspit.While some would argue, I think reddit is just better for discussions anyway, and while those who want to be mean will find a way, at least it keeps the avg lazy trolls who would just post under the video.

Although Reddit is different in that any comment that is completely out of line or is not contributing to positive discussion can be downvoted, and thus its a cleaner place and an easier way for content creators (Like TB) to honestly hear what their fans think in an appropriate (and mature) manner.

Except that's a bad idea for a lot of reasons as well.

Good ideas can be drowned in a sea of red because they are not with a majority. They're opinion can be stifled because others don't agree with them. Reddit is no better than youtube. I prefer youtube, where there is no dislike, because you can gauge how many people like it over-all, without having results marred.

Small subreddits are easier to control

[Norman_the_Owl]

Small subreddits are easier to control

Are you saying a community of 46 thousand people is "Small" and "Easy to control"?

[TetraSky]

Because Google f'ed up the comments and then because people would respond to/upvote the haters the most, they would appear in the "top comments", so he would mostly only see all the hostility in the comments. Instead of letting it go, he went berserk about it. He doesn't do well with "criticisms" unfortunately and tend to over react. And by criticisms I mostly mean unhelpful comments like insults or how bad he is without providing a reason why and how he should change.

 

I'm fine with him blocking comments. If you have some constructive comment to give him, you can try twitter (with tweet longer) or reddit.

Maybe easier to moderate, slightly more effort required to post a comment, and good comments rise while trolls fall to the bottom. Even though Reddit is still 'internet' mainstream it can be said that YT is a lot more mainstream with almost everyone having an account. Reddit's commenting system and the way that comment threading works is just generally better overall.

I still disagree. Reddit is no harder to post on. You just have an account and type in the box. There's really nothing special about reddit, except the mental status of it's users...

[Trik'Stari]

Probably because youtube comments are, generally speaking, the worst thing on the internet ever. Worse than child porn, drugs, and to quote codemonkeys, "nuclear mad scientists, with aids, raping babies".

 

Even worse than Comcast.

One comment on Reddit becomes segmented by replies, allowing everyone to ignore the arguments pretty easily. On YouTube one comment becomes like a forum post here on LTT, where every reply is 'forced' visible by all and you have to skim through arguments to find decent posts. So if I see an argument on Reddit that I don't wish to view, I can close the comment's thread. Also, on Reddit you can approve mods to cover the bases on people who are trolling/flaming, while on YouTube only your account can do this. It allows a lot more control. I'd still stand by the fact that Reddit is still obscure (even while very accessible), because if you look at the demographics for Reddit users most of them have heavy internet usage anyways.

 

What TotalBiscuit doesn't want is people coming to his video to tell him why his opinions are shit because they feel offended that he might not have liked their favorite game. He also doesn't want people seeing + responding to that garbage. I think moving comments to Reddit is a darn good choice for him.

Except people can still say the same things they would on youtube on reddit. He's just moving idiots to reddit instead of youtube

Yep. Now that they're all in one place it makes them easier to bomb.

deal is you CAN downvote youtube comments, and they CAN be deleted by the uploader.

 

its just apparently 12 y/olds think the proper way to go about it is to rather argue about it untill everyone thinks like them. 

and by 12 year olds i mean everyone on youtube except those nice small tight knit communities like amnaeon and the occasional well matured channel like jacksepticeye. 

even the LTT comments. 

every video. 

all it is. 

intel and amd wars.
