    If they get rid of comments I will find a way to visit them more. Video comments are freaking toxic I can’t say I’ve ever found anything useful in them either

      I disagree, and maybe my tastes are niche. I’m a very amateur gunsmith and look up how-to’s on weird shit I can’t figure out. Often the answer is in the comments.

      “This guy has mostly got it, but do step B before A.”

      Or:

      “I had this issue and fixed it with $X.”

      I’d guess a lot of technical/mechanical/niche stuff works like that? I don’t look at the comments on popular stuff.

      I don’t visit the comments often, so I can see what you mean cuz a lot of times they can be quite toxic. But I think choosing between having them or not having them, I would choose having them just for the ones that do like the system, cuz I can just easily ignore the comments section. I also felt the same way with the dislike button though and you see what they did with that lmao
