MrBeast reveals one YouTube feature he \u201chates with a passion\u201d YouTube: Lex FridmanAlthough YouTube sensation MrBeast is mostly \u201chappy\u201d with the state of the video-sharing platform today, he hopes to see one particular weakness fixed soon as he absolutely \u201chates\u201d the comments section in its current form. When MrBeast uploads any new content across his broad range of YouTube channels, thousands of viewers immediately flood the comments section. Regardless of whether it\u2019s a gaming video, something the team has reacted to, or one of his innovative main-channel ideas, he claims comments across the board are all similarly poor. It\u2019s for this reason, as the fourth-most subscribed star on the platform, that MrBeast simply \u201chates the comment section with a passion. It\u2019s just so bad,\u201d he said in conversation with Lex Fridman. While admitting a revamped comment system won\u2019t lead to drastic growth on YouTube, he claimed it\u2019s the one main feature he\u2019d like to see overhauled above all else. Comparing it to the experience on Reddit, he argued the average thread over there leads to a far more productive discussion. \u201cReddit is so nice to click on posts and see what people have to say. I almost wish you had that same feeling when you read the comments on a YouTube video. Instead, it\u2019s so many people copy and pasting, so many bots grab the top comment from your previous video and paste it over, so the top comments on every video are the same.\u201d When it comes to genuine comments from actual fans wanting to engage in a meaningful way, those posts are few and far between, he argued. Rather, it\u2019s the aforementioned spam that dominates most of his videos, with only \u2018scams\u2019 rising to the surface. MrBeast discusses YouTube\u2019s comment section at the 13:08 mark below. \u201cThe only things that breakthrough are just scammers trying to get you to give them $1,000, or a fake ad,\u201d he explained. It\u2019s seemingly so bad on YouTube today that MrBeast often doesn\u2019t bother wading through the comments on his videos. Instead, he\u2019d rather spend time looking at reactions across other social media platforms as the comments are typically more helpful. \u201cI usually go to Twitter when I upload a video,\u201d MrBeast continued. \u201cReddit and Twitter just give me better filtered feedback, especially now with Twitter Blue. I live for the day that YouTube\u2019s like that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
