Change in subscriptions might not effect everyone, but 90% of my near constant KZbin watch time is through the subscriptions page, so the idea of that being removed is really.... i know I'd adapt but i don't immediately know how I'd get my content

[@jaythecappy]

If they pulled that I'd just create a bookmark folder with the pages of creators I know I like. I don't trust youtube one bit to suggest what I actually want to see.

[@SPACKlick]

The issue with the bookmark thing is that then I have to manually check every channel I subscribe to, to see if they'e uploaded. Whereas what you really want is something that shows you every video they've uploaded. I'm sure someone could code an extension that used the youtube API to pull a list of videos by upload date from a selection of channels and list them (even if it couldn't show a thumbnail)

[@OceanBagel]

You guys are a little out of touch with the rest of us in regards to the subscription feed. While your million-view videos might get recommended or put on Trending, a lot of smaller channels I follow don't have that luxury, and so the only way I can actually see their videos is through the subscription feed. It's a lot more convenient to have everything I want to watch all in one place so I don't have to go hunting down all the channels I like to see if they've uploaded a video recently. I don't want the videos to "disappear" from the feed after watching them, either. I go back and rewatch videos from my sub feed all the time, which I would not be able to do if videos just vanished from the feed after I watched them.

[@naota3k]

I've never "rang a bell" on any channel I subscribe to.. I literally watch the things in my sub box, and that's about it. I've never experienced any of these things people complain about, so I have no idea what it's like. This video came up in my sub box, and I watched it. Done.

[@yasminafarih3681]

naota3k I have noticed it. I follow some KZbinrs who I really like but who don't upload often. They'd upload something and I wouldn't know about it and it makes me sad.

[@naota3k]

That's lame. :/

[@NotHPotter]

The greater tragedy to me isn't that comment sections are generally negative, it's that they're typically so vapid or shallow. Most of them just seem to be people making a note for the sake of commenting rather than contributing some insight (which admittedly is better for the algorithm and consequently the creator).

[@blatantmonkey6723]

Personally the subscription feed is my primary source of videos. It's the first thing I check when I open KZbin. I use this site primarily for the creators I'm subscribed to, not the random crap that KZbin tries to drown me in.

[@kukelekuu]

1:18:30 wowowow hold your horses. sub feed might not mean much to creators anymore, but it is core to my (and I'm sure many other users') youtube browsing experience. the page I have bookmarked is not youtube.com it's kzbin.infosubscriptions . cutting the feed would leave me periodically checking every channel I like to make sure the algorithm offered to show it to me on the frontpage. I feel like the feed before it became a metric for creators was (and despite youtube's grumbling, still is) a tool for user convenience.

[@naota3k]

Same!

[@russelldavis1359]

And honestly if they got rid of the feed I’m pretty certain the amount everyone watches would drop significantly because the feed is the first thing I think most people check out before going to the recommendation pages and browsing.

[@coryman125]

I know your comment is nearly a year old but I 100% agree. I watch a channel that uploads 3 or 4 videos per day, mostly 5-10 minute long let's plays of various games, and I only watch one or two series. I also watch a channel that does one video per day. I also watch channels like Grey who only do videos once in a blue moon. I wouldn't want to risk missing that one video every few months because an algorithm decided I shouldn't see it. I also don't want to get 4 emails a day from a channel that I already know is gonna upload 4 times a day, so I don't think notifications are a good alternative. Why would I use notifications when I could instead just have a section of KZbin that shows me all the videos from channels I already said I wanted to follow? Grey isn't wrong, I think a lot of channels would be fine if the sub page were removed, but I think a large portion of the KZbin viewer base would be agitated.

[@fell5514]

I've worked in retail and grocery; CCTV cameras do NOT stop people from stealing. Number one, the store won't actually do anything to stop you from leaving, because that's how they get sued. Two, most people don't even notice. Three, they don't save the recordings, and almost all the time, there is no one actually watching it. Theft is pretty much a fact of life when you run a store. You just live with it. It would literally be more effective to paint big eyes on the walls to take advantage of that weird psychological effect where people behave better when they see eyes looking at them.

[@Ace8280]

This is definitely store dependent. I worked at a Target in minnesota for 2-ish years and we had at least one person always watching cameras or patrolling the store. They also did stop people from leaving a number of times.

[@clefspear6975]

I know exactly what Grey is talking about when he says people don't fully internalize the idea of another person on the end of internet interactions, and I think I have something to tac onto that. IMHO (for whatever it's worth) it has to do with the idea of the screen. From a very young age, we're taught to treat things happening on screens as not real. Your parents tell you not to be afraid of the monster in the spooky movie because "It's just a movie, it can't hurt you because it's not real." And we internalize that. Most of us understand *intelectually* that some things on the screen are real, news, documentaries, etc. But we still, on a gut level, treat and react to them like they are a form of fiction. I know I had a very jarring realization of this phenomenon when talking to a relative who was a combat veteran who I interviewed for a college project. I remember him telling me his stories in the most bland, almost banal way possible. No florish or anything, just "We did this, this is what happened, this is what we did in responce." And at a certain point, I realized I was scared -- bordering on terrified in fact-- in an almost existencial way. And it took me a minute to pin it down, but I realized that the reason was because I believed what he was telling me was true, that it wasn't a story or the plot to some movie, even though my brain was desperately trying to convince itself that it couldn't be, because to my brain, things like war and death and killing and people getting shot don't happen in the real world. They happen on screens, and what happens on screens isn't real. That's how we've been trained. I don't know if that's exactly what Grey was getting at, but it's the reaction I had.

[@TheGoukaruma]

KZbin comments are usually aimed at other commentators. You don't expect the creators to read it. It's like snarking at a bad movie. You don't have the creators in mind who could get mad. Also sometimes a rude comment is for your own sanity. It's like when you hate a movie/book/yt video that everyone seems to love. You wouldn't mind if half of the people also don't like it. The opinion is expressed in an extreme way to "balance out" the hype.

[@helloworld-ll8ko]

chill out, i understand how you feel but you're taking the comment sections too seriously.

[@TheGoukaruma]

You get me wrong. I'm just stating a part of the problem. The reason why the comments are so bad isn't a single issue.

[@reNINTENDO]

I get the feeling that hello world didn't get to the part of the podcast your comment was referring to, likely making the comment come off as ranting unprovoked. Nothing about it was reaching enough to be considered "taking the comment sections too seriously".

[@RedbadofFrisia]

What surprises me is that Brady is so effected by youtube comments on content he is in or he made, because those comment sections are always quite positive and rather tame in my opinion. Then again, I might be severely desensitised.

While I can only speak for myself, I only look at my Subscription feed. That way I only see the videos from the creators I'm interested in instead of having to sort through dozens of videos I dont care about. I would hate if they removed the subscription feed. I'd watch a lot less KZbin.

[@quentinmcwhorter1997]

Reading through the comments regarding "flies vs. fly'" I believe that "flies" is likely to be the original term, originally used when buttons were used as fasteners rather then a zipper. In this case you have two flaps buttoned together so that one overlaps the other. When looking at this case, it sounds perfectly right to say "button your flies together." I thought of this when I noticed that "flies" is used most commonly in more rural areas or more recently developed areas. When the zipper came, there came to be one fly that covered a section of the larger garment. People began to use the term fly singular and overtime most people forgot the original meaning of the terms and they simply came to refer to the entire fastening area, as Grey demonstrated. Areas that got zippered pants later then others, those that had begun using "flies" to refer to the fastening area as whole saw, with no explicit connection to the concept of the two flies that fasten together, would see no reason to change how the referred to the area.

[@refrashed]

For everyone worried about their subscriptions feed getting murdered, you can prepare a backup using an RSS feed, at least until KZbin decides to break everything and remove that too. Currently, RSS feeds still work. You can get a list of RSS feeds and put it into an RSS reader of your choice. Inoreader looks very similar to the subs feed, so that's what I have in place as a backup. To get the RSS feed of every channel in your subscriptions: 1. Go to kzbin.info_manager (this will bring you to a previous version of KZbin, so you can tell they're trying to get rid of this feature.) 2. Scroll to the bottom of the page, click on "Export Subscriptions" in the bottom right. This will download an XML file that contains the individual RSS feeds of every channel you subscribe to. 3. Go to the RSS reader you picked. Some have emails sent to you, others have a page that you need to check. Inoreader is the latter. Im not exactly sure what you would do after that, as every RSS reader is slightly different, but it should be self explanatory. You can even subscribe and unsubscribe from each channel after the fact, though it's slightly more involved. The reader will not sync with your subscriptions feed. Each video that comes up is simply a link to youtube, to the video in question, so don't worry if you want to continue supporting your creators, as it won't do something weird like show you the base video file in an html player. If ads were going to show on the video then they still will. My main use for it currently is to see what video got taken down or privated if I've put it in my watch later. It seems to keep the link for at least a day or two, so you can see what it was. You obviously won't be able to actually watch it, but you can see the title. For this reason, I recommend setting this up even if you're not worried about losing the sub feed.

[@SPACKlick]

I think the subscription feed may not mean as much to content producers but as a content viewer, the subscription feed is where I know I can find some videos I want to watch. I wouldn't come to youtube nearly as much if it wasn't there.

Re: Grey's subscriber puzzle. As Brady said earlier in the podcast, Grey is an infrequent video poster. As a subscriber to CGPGrey, who has watched all the videos, it is a pretty good bet, by youtube, to put your latest video on my Home tab, which is where I look first and where I normally click it. For other channels, that produce a lot of interesting content on a regular basis, I know I will be watching bits and pieces through-out the week and I am much more likely to find it in the Subscription tab. It seems to me that subscribing is a big signal to the machine learning algorithm to put newly released stuff on the Home tab but for channels that make a lot of content it learns to not put everything there as I can't keep up with it, so the Subscription and Channel pages fill in the gap.

[@musikSkool]

I wish they would have double-downed on a parsec as a unit of time. This is an interesting quote I found looking up the history of the word "mile". "In Middle English the word also was a unit of time, 'about 20 minutes,' roughly what was required to walk a mile." Interesting, I didn't know that a mile was a unit of time. I guess in the Star Wars universe a parsec must have referred to how long it took a ship to travel a parsec. By saying that it took him less than 12 parsecs, he was implying that everyone knew that the Kessel star system was so hazardous that a ship had to take 12 times as long to travel 1 parsec. It is a weird way to use grammar, but have you even tried to learn Middle English? I needs must believe that is what he meant.

[@jayjeckel]

Have the stores considered that a portion of that loss is from self-checkout machines having been coded by oxygen-starved monkeys and that common maintenance consists of an employee punching the thing? I've never been to one of those machines that actually worked properly the entire time I was checking out. I won't say my item is something it isn't, but if I scan it and the machine doesn't add it to my total (something that happens at least 1 or 2 times a month), then I feel no guilt putting it in my bag. That is completely on them for not hiring properly trained programmers to write good code for the machines and not properly maintaining the machines so they actually work. It isn't stealing if you do everything correctly and the company's machine still gives it to you for free.

My personal story on the youtube subscriber feed. I can only think of three instances by which I'll watch a youtube video. Either it's part of my subscriber feed and I click on it through that menu. This is about 50-80% of my youtube use, depending on the week. I'll know of a video or video series that I'd wish to watch and search for it to pull it up. This is about 10-25% of my youtube use. I'm on other social media and someone links it. This is 10-25% of my youtube use. If they removed the subscriber feed I would be very distraught. Possibly to the point where I refrain from using youtube and only watch netflix or some other stream service. The subscriber feed I don't get notifications on. I manually look at it every other day or so for new videos that I feel like watching.

[@musikSkool]

I like the first half of Star Wars Episode I. Back at the time I liked the whole movie because I was hopeful that the next 2 would be amazing, but now I wish the second half of the film had been different. I kinda liked episode II, and I like parts of III, but on the whole, some of episode II and most of episode III are my least favorite of them all. For the past several years I have believed that episode III should have been about Jedi going on missions and culminated in Obi Wan healing someone with the force, but then on a later mission on another planet Obi-Wan chooses not to heal someone else. This set Anakin over the edge, the idea that a Jedi chooses who to help, and just lets others die. He refuses to listen when Obi-Wan explains that the first person was an innocent bystander, but the second was a high-ranking official that has been accepting bribes and through his own carelessness the problems on his planet led to this insurgence. Even though he hadn't been the leader of the world, he still had enough authority that he could have done a better job keeping down crime. Anakin doesn't consider any of this, he just gets mad at Obi-Wan because he sides with the authority figure and assumes that the Jedi are supposed to just side with the people in charge. Obi-Wan agrees, but says that sometimes an authority is in the wrong, and the Jedi counsel has to consider how they are going to help, and sometimes they stand back and do nothing, because they want to remain neutral. This leads to an argument where Anakin says that the Jedi serve the Senate and should keep peace, but Obi-Wan says a Jedi serves balance, and an unbalanced system will inevitably lead to failure, and much pain and suffering. If they can maintain balance, peace will come. Anakin says, "By refusing to help the ones who are maintaining order-" :Obi-Wan-cuts-him-off: In a calm voice, Obi-Wan says "But Anakin." :He walks over to stand closer to him: "Sometimes the ones in charge are abusing their power, and not maintaining peace." Anakin doesn't say anything, but looks concerned and a little irritated. Then we come to a conversation with Palpatine and Anakin where Palpatine is going off-world and needs a personal guard from the Jedi, and he is asking Anakin to make the request for him, and when Anakin says they will probably say no, Palpatine says "Oh?" But then Anakin says, "I will make sure they say yes." Palpatine gives him a knowing look... Later, Anakin is telling Mace Windu that they need to protect Palpatine and Windu gives him the impression that the Jedi Counsel isn't that concerned with it. He hints at Palpatine being a high-rankigng official and he doesn't need Jedi support, he has his own guards. Anakin isn't happy with it. Later, Anakin receives the news that the Jedi counsel wont help, so he personally goes with Chancellor Palpatine. Mace Windu shows up a couple days later and tells Anakin, privately, that he just ran off without telling anyone where he was going. Anakin says, "Doesn't a Jedi get a little free time, a vacation every once in a while." Windu agrees, but looks a little angry, and says "But that should be organized and planned beforehand. Look. Anakin. What we do is very dangerous sometimes." :long-pause: "How could we know if you are missing because of something serious, or-" :Anakin-cuts-him-off: "And the Chancellor going to an unsafe planet isn't serious?" Windu: "I don't know-" :Anakin-cuts-him-off-again: Anakin: "Well. The situation did turn out to be nothing. I guess I can go back with you now." They leave. Later, Anakin is put on suspension temporarily while the counsel looks into the matter. They tell him that after looking at the details it seems like Palpatine was secretly discussing removal of a crime syndicate in a major star-system, he went there to discuss it in person with the local police in that star-system. But he hadn't told the Jedi any of that and they couldn't help him if he was going to keep too many secrets from them. Anakin thinks that anything the Chancellor does is important and the Jedi should just support everything he does. The Jedi Masters standing around don't say anything in response. Anakin starts walking through the halls to the door, a few minutes later Obi-Wan approaches and says, "Isn't that good news Anakin? You have been reinstated and completely exonerated. Aren't you happy?" Anakin says nothing. He gives a slight nod in agreement, but his face just seems emotionless. He walks away. This is where the movie plays out very similarly to how it actually happened in the movie. He goes to Palpatine and gets won over to the dark side. I guess my point was that big, important, story points were brushed aside in Episode III, and needed more logical progression. I especially hated how in Episode IX Palpatine just dropped a big plot point in the last 5 minutes and was killed almost instantly. I would have liked him to talk about it more, or hint at it by some mysterious statement like "It is said that with the Sith, only two there are. No more. No less." :very-long-pause: "Or at least, that is what they used to say. They are all dead. ... We can change that. ... I would like to bring the girl. ... Make her one of us. ... Make us more. ... We can have dozens, hundreds of Sith. All of them masters of the true art. Masters of the Force." Then for at least 45 minutes of the movie we could be wondering if he plans on making a Sith order just as strong as the Jedi order was in episodes I, II and III. Then when he is killed it means something. We need to be actually given enough time to think about something before you just kill the bad guy. The most important story is not the one on the screen, it is the story in our own mind as we consider all of the ramifications of what the bad guy is planning. And I felt that episode IX, and III stole that story from us. It happened so fast it cheapened it.

[@The_Grimsun]

Spoiler alert Grey, I don't think the cameras work very well. They have had these in Walmart for 5 years now in the parts of the US I have been. If I had the mind to steal I could easily do it. Especially with those bag checkers who barely look at your order. Edit: And by the way, I 100% will be stealing an item that does not scan next time I go to Walmart. I went in for a loaf of bread and a 12 pack of soda, the bread I picked didn't have a label on it. The bread was $0.99 and I had to wait 4 minutes for the assistant by the self check out to come over, then I told her the price of them (because I buy them a lot) and she didn't trust me.....WHAT!? It is a loaf of bread! So then she called over her manager, who also would not simply enter it in as a random item for .99 (Trust me I have worked in retail, I know you can just put it in as like .99 for bakery or wtv.). And then I had to wait 5 minutes for the worker to go get me a new bread, to which I said... no.. I picked this bread because I wanted this one. So then she scanned the other one and I took my label-less bread. I wasted 15 minutes on a 99 cent loaf of bread. Knowing that this is how they would react again, the next time I get this issue, the breads free for that day. I earned myself my 1 in 10 free breads for being such a loyal customer. (Honestly I wouldn't have even bothered if it wasn't for the fact I knew that if they just entered it in as a bakery item it would have taken 1 minute of my time.)

I really wanted to know your opinions on the other Wookies, but you didn't even mention them!

[@anluifb]

For what it's worth, my main way of accessing your content is through my sub feed.

[@tannisbhee7444]

Hey Brady, thanks for what you do

[@poliestotico]

I sometimes click on your videos from the home page, but I’m subscribed and have watched most of em. Something tells me that youtube shows em to me because of my history and not because of my subscriptions?

KZbin keeps trying predict what we want to see using their algorithms, but they wouldnt need to try nearly as hard if they gave us a non-zero amount of ability to customize anything with regards to what we see. There are tons of very simple usability features like 'subscribe to playlist' or 'find sequential videos' as CGP talked about viewing blogs in order that could be implemented both on KZbin's side, and on the Creator's side. A simple browse/select for 'this video is the sequel to [video]' for the creators would take minimal effort, and even doing a simple title-match or chronological playlist match to offer suggested videos couldnt be that difficult. Regarding subscription-views: I subscribe to a handful of channels but have bookmarks for probably ten times more. I use bookmarks because some channels only produce a small portion of content that I actually want to see compared to their total uploads. Visiting them manually is often better than having all of their videos clog up my feed. This feels like a failure on KZbin's part to me. I would absolutely subscribe to a playlist to get notifications whenever a new item was added to that, but with YT its all or nothing. The channels that I do subscribe to either only produce videos very rarely, or they produce daily content that I always want to be informed about, but that means that the majority of the content that I actually watch requires me to visit the creator's video page directly from a bookmark to keep the feed clean. Additionally, with regards to KZbin doing experiments. There are hundreds of millions of people who use KZbin, why not let the people who want to opt in to try a new feature do so, and not FORCE us to participate when we dont want to? What better way to annoy the hell out of your userbase than to force them to use the site in a way they hate? Or at the very least inform someone that they've been mandatorily entered into a beta test and give them a timeframe they can expect to have to endure rather than leave them wondering why the site no longer works the way they expect / the way it still works for their friends. Being the target of such tests multiple times in the past and its -never- an improvement on my user experience. It feels like KZbin could not possibly be worse at communicating with its userbase, or score worse with offering options to customize their experience. Its like the developers behind the scenes dont actually use KZbin on a daily basis, as anyone who has used KZbin for more than a few months should be able to see all the massive holes in the user interface, like an inability to skip backwards through content without going through every single video page. Pretty sure there was a time when KZbin had pagination for video pages and allowed you to skip around.

Who do I email to put you in charge of the KZbin subscriptions feature? I agree with every word of your comment wholeheartedly.

YES. I'm up to date. 1 - 104

For the subscriber count, I heard that if you get 1,000,000 subscribers on youtube you can influence macbooks into working. The only drawback is that you have to mention the influencer status for it to work.

I had a cup of coffee at Chester Zoo, and the lid actually has a marking on it saying "SEAM ^ HERE" opposite the hole. Companies are learning! Can I get a Nail and Gear shirt in red with a gold emblem, perhaps? ;)

[@dalviadhillon9896]

I would just like to say, thank you for getting me through my gcse's :)

[@vmgf1437]

Zippers.... Brady and Grey make them funny :) Such a great podcast!

[@jeremyleyland1047]

If they put a 10 subscription limit per user, subscriptions would be way better.

[@That1BVP]

The youtube algorithm is horrible. It recommends videos I've already watched. Sometimes I want to make a new youtube account just to get fresh recommendations.

[@alexroseman5875]

Don't cross the seams. CROSS THE SEAMS!!!!

[@icantbespecific6586]

I love this podcast but can you guys make episodes more frequently.

[@NotHPotter]

Do Hover and Squarespace know you advertise both services in the same video?

[@K-o-R]

They aren't really "competitors"; Hover is domains, Squarespace is the sites that live at those domains. Hover have a -link to- icon for Squarespace on their front page.

platinum hotstopper with diamond encrusted nail & gear, no hesitation in hitting that like button.

The travel thing Grey, I am 19 years old, and I still find it weird that people live the places you visit, they are not there on vacation like you.

[@TimMeep]

I watch 95% of videos from channels I subscribe too from the subscription feed, the Home tab just says watch crap, or stuff you've already watched. Grey has said he doesn't watch much content so no wonder he can't see the point and calls the subscription feed useless! Grey does big more viral videos so no surprise he gets picked up by the algorithm for views, Brady is right it's the smaller (and maybe educational) channels that will suffer.

[@Garbaz]

Regarding KZbin comment quality: A to me more visible issue is how meaningless most KZbin comments are, and more importantly that these comments, even for channels where I expect a more "intelligent" or interested audience, are always the most upvoted ones. Comments like "As always a great video from you, my favourite KZbinr". What irk me the most are these over the top "You are the best person to ever exist" bullshit comments that get upvoted under every video. They are always clearly wrong and have long lost all their meaning, but they still get upvoted (and even

[@purplechimkin3404]

A whole day after the Web version? Im not complaining :)

[@jerwilliamsmith]

I've finely tuned my Subscription feed to give me exactly what I want. If KZbin does away with the Subscriber feed, I'll stop using the app entirely.

[@TheGoblinoid]

OK, wild take: KZbin comments used to be much worse. It was harder to find constructive comments a few years ago. I think the youtube audience has matured. Do you agree? Also, it's fly, what the hell is wrong with you, peole?

[@virtualpigmaster]

There are all kinds of videos I want to see appear in my subscription feed. But they don't ever appear on the homepage, because they don't reflect the majority of videos I watch. So I never would see them. Without the feed, I'd only end up seeing certain kinds of popular content, not the weird stuff I've subscribed to. Subscriptions don't necessarily matter for certain creators. But the feed matters hugely for viewers, and it probably matters for more unusual creators.

Beats? Airpods? Why not just do yourself a favor and get a pair of Etymotic ER4-XR in-ear monitors. Exceptional quality, fantastic customer support, extremely sturdy. Had my ER4 MicroPros for over a decade now and they're still going strong.

[@theuserofthissite]

Airpods mate for life, how sweet.

[@jonathanmuir6338]

What Grey and Brady are trying to convey when discussing awful KZbin comments is empathy, or rather lack of. The innate distance digital platforms create between the creator and consumer exacerbates the lack social communication people normally rely on. Albert Mehrabian’s 7-38-55 Rule of Personal Communication illustrates the need for in person communication. Digital forums provide a space where people already lacking empathy feel able to make awful comments, troll, bully etc without fear of retribution. However if you spoke to these same people on the street a majority would never make the same comments to your face. A majority of people who write awful comments simply do not understand the effect it will have on the reader, as they have no social cues to draw from. Sadly however, there is always the disturbing minority who just need to be ignored, don't give them the limelight they crave.

[@pescecanella4742]

Wait, what? CGP Grey reads all those comments under his videos, not just his subreddit?

[@BidnessGoose]

A) I love the prequels so take what I'm about to say with a grain of salt B) he was already back in established cannon and he is awesome (seriously watch the clone wars) C) I just liked it because it ties into with what he was doing in the show and stuff so, yeah that's my opinion. EDIT: D) sure I see with what you're saying that its more of her own thing, but I see this as her being more opportunistic and showing how far she's fallen to "I want power and am willing to do anything for it including deal with this fucking creepy guy with horns and a laser thing that regularly cuts people in twain".

[@Seegalgalguntijak]

Grey & Brady, thanks for confirming that the KZbin comments are actually a feedback channel that I can use to return my thoughts about something you said to you - I always thought you'd only read the reddit thread and thus I didn't often bother with writing a youtube comment (And I don't have an account on reddit, nor do I want to create one, yet another one...). Could you please explain in more detail how KZbin's comment system is structurally bound to create bad comments? I mean, I see the amount of bad comments, but I have never had a consistent train of thoughts reasoning towards why that is, or even that it is inherent in the structure of the platform. Also, I only use the subscriptions page on KZbin, so if they did shut this down, I wouldn't be notified about many videos from subscriptions that I'd like to watch. It would make KZbin really painful to use for me (as a viewer, not a content creator).

[@1LifeOnLine]

i basically only watch videos from the subscription feed. :)
