@jefftp Yes, those assumptions are wrong.
For one, it's easy to ignore YouTube comments. They don't show up in notifications anymore for me aside from when large accounts leave comments. But also, the comment algorithm is very good at making sure stupid/mean comments are pushed way way down.
Here? There's nothing like that, and unless I want to turn notifications off completely (which I guess I could) I /will/ see all the comments in order as they happen.
