Google Block Own Commenting System On Their Logo Reveal Video?

We've all heard of their new logo, but even Google doesn't like their own YouTube commenting system. They have blocked commenting on their Logo reveal video. Not sure if they have done this in the past, but if they don't want to use their own system that has to be a problem...

Just checked their Google Glass video, camping video and another one and none of those block comments...interesting very interesting. I honestly don't mind the new logo. I liked the previous one a little better though.

I don't think it's that big of a deal that they're turning off the comments. What I do think is a big deal is their logo change, and I think they themselves are recognizing that it IS a big change (even if it is just a new logo) and people may not like it to the point where they could change the message of the video for other users. Making sure users take away a positive message about Google from the video pretty much required in this case.

 

Or let's just look at apple, AFAIK they don't have a single negative comment on any of their videos because they disable the comments (and have done for years)

*If I say something that seems offensive, please don't take it seriously, it was most likely meant as a joke/sarcastically*

The logo looks like they copied Microsoft. Took old one, ran it over with a steam roller and called it a new logo.

They might have faked the metrics to look overwhelmingly positive. They own the site and have the authority to do whatever they want, so its not like we could ever know. Google could be trying to convince us that the change is good through simple social engineering and our desire to conform to our peers. Its just yet another step towards their ultimate goal of global domination. #GoogleIsIlluminatiConfirmed

Cool point guys. Maybe it's not a big deal, but I found it really interesting. If Google doesn't want to use their own system (regardless of the fear of the feedback they might get), it seems like some major retooling needs to happen with their YouTube comment system. Maybe it could actually be usable! I did not know you could still comment on the release with Google+, but again this points to the same problem when you're okay with feedback on one platform and not the other when your company made both.

 

For the two of you wondering why this is news, it may not be. Again, I just found it interesting and wanted to share and get your feedback. I'm new to the forum and it seemed appropriate to post it in news, but if you have a better suggestion I'm all ears.  General discussion maybe?

 

Really cool first posting experience - thanks everyone!

It's completely blown out of proportion.

In the current era privacy is just fallacy and nothing more.
