I went to see if I had any replies to a comment I left on a video for the first time today and it's really hidden to get back to them if you don't remember the exact video. I wonder if it's purposeful friction or just not a priority.

#27you know what... besides everything, good for them. I don't know if many of you remember the olden days of Youtube, when it wasn't lead by corporate greed, and before it was infested by greedy abysmal shitty people - When profits weren't the driving force behind content creation. Whenever I see content creators like that on Youtube right now I just wish them the best, and if they have a platform currently that suppor…
the fact that I'm into a lot of the topics that you've listed but have never heard of these creators simply underscores the sheer scale of youtube
Me too. Youtube must know better than me what to recommend me out of all the videos... still, I get presented the same shite again and again.
To be fair: not everything is shite and Youtube is my favorite social media (especially for discovering new music), but I noticed a big drop in quality from one day to the other a couple of years ago.

Just anecdotes, but I feel YouTube comments are the bottom of social media. Even Twitter and Reddit are better.
But if the 99% garbage is the price of the emerging of channels like 3B1B, I think it's still a pretty good deal.
