Comment Section Reply Button Feature Update Discussion


I know it was made clear that only sometimes will an actual Youtube employe visit this subreddit, but I still very much want to say some things about the new way comment replies work.Right now, if you press "Show replies" the button will be under the comments that pop up. That is completely dumb.Positives of this change:-If people want to read every single reply, then they won't have to scroll up to close the comment chain. (Just to add, the majority of people only want to read like 2 replies and even that is only just a glance, so that's really unnecessary)(Negatives of this change:-I'm pretty sure everyone is used to the button being up there, so accidentally liking a comment, or pressing "Reply" is annoying.-If you press "Show more" on a 50 meter long copy paste reply, you won't be able to close it just by closing the reply section, you have to go all the way down to do that.-Muscle memory re-work: It's quite hard to stop habits, and sometimes even harder to stop small habits, like how the X (close) button is on the right top corner of the window. Having the button in an always changing place is very bad for people who just want to really quickly check the replies and then close it, because they have to scroll down, and close it there, instead of doing a 0.1 second already built-in-muscle-memory move.(So yea, it's definetely a bad idea, but of course because this is a discussion, I'm curious if anyone can squeeze some positives out of this feature that I find very much annoying. Linking to some quick-fix for this would also be appreciated.I would be really glad if it was actually changed back to normal. It bugs me a lot. via /r/youtube
