YouTube New Comment System Discussion!

G+ is what they're all about now: search etc are all just tie in products

Google needs to become an identity platform - to fend of FB et al. for advertising revenue and to satisfy controlling interests





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

Hi , I am just can post link 10 times with one account, after 10, my posting will not show up, anyone with these issue ?

Obviously to prevent people from spamming live links on every video.

Read his sales thread! His country was hit by a huge typhoon.
 
I just checked to see if it is really that hard to have top comments on a video and within 10 minutes I was able to get top comments on 2 videos (each one with 2 million + views). Its been 2 days and comments are still on the top.

You have it all wrong. Google are an AD COMPANY. Everything else is geared toward better targeting of those ads, more views for those ads. Google search is an ad showing site. Youtube is an adshowing site. G+ is data slurping site so can show you more targeted ads.

The end.
 
Update from YouTube:

Updated November 12: We know there are issues with spam and abuse in the new comments and we're working hard to fix them. We've already made a number of changes in the last 24 hours to reduce spammy comments and bad links, and we have more fixes coming soon.

We know how important comments are to you, and we're making these improvements quickly so you can continue those conversations with your fans. Stay tuned for updates.
 
Update from YouTube:

They have made a huge mistake and it only took them 48 hours to concern that now thousands of average Joes can place links all over YouTube. Their problem now is not the experienced spammer that deals with 500 private proxies and 1 own secret bot.
What kind of behavior were they expecting? If you give the chance to put any kind of links in comments , pleople will use this feature to promote anything on comments.

I believe the new links policy will not last long and they will step back to something similar like the past where no live links were allowed.
 
Youtube needs to fix their shit! users are now protesting this comment.

☻/ This is Bob. Copy and paste him
/▌ all over youtube
/ \ so he can take over
and return the old comment section

Im having a hard time to stay up top!
 
Sometimes I can link, other moments not.
When I put in a link to google it works, but when I change that to my own link the comment is ghosted..

im just curious about the whole allowing live links in comments thing. did they say why they did that in the first place? i can't come up with a legit reason for anyone outside of spammers to post a link in a comment. at least, not for any dire-enough reason that they needed to change policy. if somebody wanted to give an individual a link so bad, they coulda did it in a pm, which i think was/is allowed. i can't imagine regular users were clamoring that much to post fuckin' links in comments either. doesn't it seem odd to anybody else that they went from not allowing links to even be typed out - to not only that, but making them live? these pricks got an angle...

but it's all bullshit really. you wanna reduce spam? you take about 10 mofos out of the equation and problem solved. there's about a handful of people that spam the absolute dick out of the site - take them out and it looks very different. Hell, i'd do it if i could

or maybe im way off base here. what's the general consensus on individual mass-spam? 50-100 comments a day? all spread out throughout such a massive site? that ain't a fuckin' problem. that's barely noticeable. it's those cocksuckers that work the front page/trending videos non-stop. take them out and not very many people even see spam
