So we can quantify and understand it. That can be a foundation to improve things in various ways.
There is no improving YouTube comments. It's all noise, no signal. We don't even need a study to know that.
And the only entity that can fix it are Google, and they've had 2 decades to do so, and clearly have no intentions of fixing it.
This research is just pointless, there are better more tangible things to spend money on.
The thing you’re missing is that your arguments are not of much use until they’re backed by quality evidence - not general consensus or vibes. If it’s good data, I’d argue that it’s worth having. Argue for our limitations and we risk achieving them.
I buy that argument, and have made it often for other research topics, but this one is just so far into "water is wet" territory that its pointless.
