YouTube New Comment System Discussion!

Don't forget about the new rich text!


  • Use rich text. You can add style to your comment with special tags: *bold* → bold; _italics_ → italics; -strikethrough- → strikethrough
 
First that cold and empty layout, now this... I really hope someone give us a decent alternative to youtube once for all.
 
I just saw this comment:
Hate the new comment system? Sign this! spread it!
https://www.change.org/petitions/google-change-the-youtube-comment-section-back-to-its-original-form
Nothing is going to happen anyway, but I'll sign it I guess. Also, have anyone tested the G+ circles thing and if it actually works? Everyone's saying that your comment will get on top if you have a lot of G+ followers(or whatever that crap's called), but did anyone try it?
EDIT: Took a second look at it and it really doesn't look that bad. I feel like the only thing that might hold some of you back is that your expensive automation tools won't work anymore - but it can still be done manually. Also, the person who said they went from $200-300 per day to 0 - you're full of shit. Most of the comments I've made in my niche are still top rated and the the amount of visitors I'm getting is pretty much the same.

how will comment bots such as vagex and U2Bviews be affected due to the requirement of a google plus account?
 
i dont see 'mark as spam' next to comments but i do see report abuse followed by 'report user'-like options. i take it it's not on the same number system, you know 4 'marks as spam' to get a comment down, now you have to report comment and wait for those cocksuckers to review it and then decide what they want to do. i know reporting user in such manner had varied results in the past; sometimes you got a person shit-canned quick, sometimes it took hours or nothing happened. wonder if it'll be like that with comments now. i guess that's good news considering you can theoretically stay 'up' longer. bad news in that it'll also take longer to get someone(s) down if needed unless of course you can thumb up/down quickly and had a plenty accounts

i wonder if they'll start punishing accounts for reporting abuse unwarranted

Guys, this is not a smart move to discuses about this major change in public.

This is a serious business.

Watch this : View attachment 41227

This forum is an enigma right? We can devise 100 methods and 10 BSTs to leverage this change into dollars and cents. That's because there are so many members and a free flow of thought. So free that G can see everything we write and adjust as we adjust after a time lag. *sigh*

Someone said that YT limits the amount of links you can post per account anyway.

It does appear that the new system may have its good points for us, if we play the game right.

However, in the end though, googles method of forcing "relevant" material on its uses is total failure and most likely, its geared more to making them more money than actually giving a shyt about what they think is more relevant to its users.

I hate the new YT homepage, there is never one thing on there that I find interesting, and most of the vids are ones I already watched.

It used to be that we could go to the homepage, see what is going viral, now, we see what google wants us to see, so much for the little guy getting noticed now.
But then again, perhaps the little guy can get noticed now if he actually works his ass off and gets involved with the G pages and circles thing, IDK.

Sometimes it seems google is actually trying to make their stuff a better experience for its users and sometimes it just seems they are money hungry bitches trying to force shyt we dont like nor want, down our throats.

In the end though, we have no right to complain about the them forcing shyt on us, when in all reality we try to do the same things to everyone else.

However, I have always thought if you give them what they want (in a website) they will come and will take that to my grave because that is what the internet should be about and I do feel, deep down, google wants that too, well and line their pockets first :P


In closing, I feel bad for those people who have no clue how to do a proper google search.
Ever watch people like that try to google something?


Yah I am talking in circles, lol.

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]If someone like Donald Trump wanted to, I bet he could create a new video sharing site and destroy google and youtube right now.

The only reason google can get away with this type of shyt, is because they have almost zero competition and they know it.

If they wanted to, they could prob team up with instagram or such and force people to link that to their YT channels as well.

Its basically, if you dont like it, fk you, we could care less.[/FONT]

Anyone notice the YT comments from G+ they're including are mostly people just posting that the YT video exists, then a few people in their G+ circle post "cool" or something lame, or an inside friend joke no one gets. It's awkward. Takes away from YT comment quality.

I originally thought G would give up on the failed G+, but they seem desperate to slowly grow it.
