		zapdrive on Feb 28, 2019 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: YouTube bans comments on all videos of children I wonder how long before they totally disable all comments. I mean I mostly watch all my YouTube on my smart TV, and as far as I know, I can't read any comments on the TV. Additionally, I can't even read the description of the video, or the tags, or even the number of likes/dislikes. So I guess that is the direction YouTube is headed to.

Same thing if you’re watching on a phone, at least outside the app. I can either watch the video OR read the comments.

Guess which one interests me more.

Between that and watching on my TV comments barely exist for me anyway.
