YouTube is testing a new experimental feature that will allow viewers to add "Notes" to provide more context and information on videos.

    I feel like this is what the comment section is used for.

      I value my mental health too much to regularly dive into the YouTube comment section

        I must be watching different videos than the people complaining about YouTube comments. The ones I see are virtually all positive.

          Don’t just look at the comments. Look at the replies to the top comments. 8 out of 10 times they turn super toxic super quickly in my experience.

          Technically they are, but I’m not sure how confident I am in YouTube showing you comments I a reasonable order regardless.

        So the upvotes and downvotes in the comments don’t do anything?

          Probably not. Or maybe every vote counts as “engagement” and pushes it to the top.
