It's okay, as long as you don't want to read the comments or the video description

So, how long until they delete the comment section outright?

What even is the point of the comments section?

Great way to communicate directly with the person who posted the video. Also a good way to answer questions when viewing educational content (like cooking shows).

Driving engagement. They don't care if it's full of trolls or spambots. As long as it entices users to engage on their platform, it's a plus in their books
