Re-Enabling the dislike button would help too

    I agree but there's also an add-on for that

    Yeah but it's not that accurate, and it leaves most normal mobile users out of the picture. I know YouTube knew exactly what they were doing when they removed dislikes, but it still seems absolutely insane to remove such a useful tool for sifting through the bullshit.

    So now we have to read a community note to know a video is garbage instead of just seeing a massive dislike bar and clicking off?

    Didn't they take away the dislike button?

    I feel like this is what the comment section is used for.

    Can the channel owner delete comments on their videos?

    Yes, as well as automatically hiding new comments.

    which is unfortunate, i think YT does it to save paid labor on moderating comments, but this allows video posters to upload misleading info and delete correcting replies, which also pairs well with hidden thumbs down

    It also allows uploaders to stop hate filled posting, like incels trashing the comments on anything positive about female characters in media.

    I'm sure the annotations will be intelligent and insightful...

    Yeah clearly training data does get much review for these peasant facing products. I am assuming real tool will take legions of pros to properly tune up.

    The issue not LLM per we, the issue is that none of these clown companies appear to do Amy data quality control. They just rush whatever janky thing they got to drive headlines.

    Didn't they take away crowd-sourced subtitles before?

    This sounds like a great spot for scammers to flood for maximum visabilty. It'll be too much effort to moderate, so creators will just disable them (if they can) or this will be shut down in about (checks YouTube's history of dealling with scammers) 3.5 years.

    That’s not going to go wrong at all.

    I mean, if this is basically Twitter's Community Notes feature, but for YouTube, I'm all for it. Bit of a balancing act, but it's the last thing that hasn't been completely wrecked now that Twitter became Xitter.

    I give this about two weeks before they realize that it's as effective at helping their advertising as having dislike buttons are.

    I am not condoning poisoning of this well of information, but I will laugh my ass off when it inevitably occurs.

    So we can explicitly graffiti videos but we can't add translations. 🤯

    This is just for training AI.

    Wait, didn't this feature already exist for years and then was shut down??

    lol, considering the “quality” content in the comments section it’s just going to be a continuation of that dumpster fire.

    I miss when Youtube had community sourced subtitles and those little annotations on the video...

    Yeah that'll end well I'm sure.

    It's our duty to describe all videos as pizza glue recipes.
