BurningSpirit said: Actually what he's saying here makes sense. There never really was a comment section below any content till recently (with the internet and shit), you didn't get to watch people's content (in the past would be TV shows and movies), then just leave a remark below for everyone to see. Now that it's been tried out, it's pretty much proven to be a pretty bad platform for discussion. One liners and jokes will be flooded as top comments. But comments sections now are pretty much a guarantee with most online content nowadays, but the question is "Should people be outraged if the comment section is disabled?" It's a pretty legitimate question, though I do agree that being able to leave comments shouldn't be an entitlement, I feel that content creators really shouldn't disable a platform for discussion. It's true that it doesn't work, but rather than removing it, there could possibly be room for tweaking it to make it better. Yh things like Comment sections are in the end just quick gut feeling responses really. Only a very few in the end do an discussion. This is why it is good that we have reddit and even MAL and etc. There, ppl at least discuss stuff. Heck this thread alone proves Digibro's point. |
Bourmegar said: Yh things like Comment sections are in the end just quick gut feeling responses really. Only a very few in the end do an discussion. That's where you might be a little mislead by the likes system on YouTube comments, which sorts the comments. Just try sorting your comments by newest, reply a top comment with a post with discussion value or look at some of the longer replies there, you'll definitely be seeing slightly more substantial discussion. This really indicates that people like that exist in the comments, but are merely being drowned out by a not so ideal system.

| I never understood why people take Anime youtubers seriously. Also I haven't seen Digi's face in quite some time, but it's good to see that he still looks like he hasn't showered in over a decade. |

| And this is pertinent to anime discussion? How? He's butt hurt about comments? He can just disable them. Kissmanga has the comment section under every chapter which is nice and I even read it some times, too lazy to come to the chapter discussion so I don't find weird to see comment sections attached to the product. Reviews of films and games are pretty much attached to the product nowadays to the point that most publishers give them early copies so they can publish the review the date the product is released. |

Eventhou he said the fans can choose not to follow his taste, it doesn't change anything at all as his huge fanbase trust his view to be most correct. The damage has been done yo. |

| Digi's worst video to date. Total nonsense and very bad analogies. Where do we start? He talks about how posting comments on a video (or any content apparently) is not a right or whatever. Thing is this isn't about right or whatever, it's about what YT allows as they're a private company. He's well within his "right" to just shutdown the comment section under his own videos, if he chooses not to though, there's no reason users shouldn't feel entitled to leave a comment. He's right that they could go to Discord or Reddit or use messenger pigeons, but what does that matter and, more, importantly, are they entitled to comment in those sites? His point about comments being "attached" to a video seems to be something he coming back to, so I'll just address it now. They're not, really. I mean, OP embedded this video, and the YT comments are nowhere to be found. Point is, the comment section is not freaking hardsubbed on videos or something like that. If Digi does believe this, then how does taking the comment section to Reddit fix the problem? The comments there (or here) would be "attached" to the video, no? So his analogies about this are pointless, aside from badly thought out. Next he makes some emotional appeals to the "good 'ol days" of art criticism when criticism a) was beter and b) only trained critics were listened to. If any of this is true or is preferable to a more open forum, who knows, but Digi definitely expect us to take his word for it that it was better "back in the day". Digi also seems surprised by some commentators gaining some sort of fame. This is not a new thing or an internet-only thing. Now, if those people become "part of the narrative of the video" (whatever that means) is not clear to me, but it seems like Digi wants to control how people receive his videos. Even in his post-comment section utopia, some guy who just happened to comment on a bunch of Discords or subreddits could gain fame just the same, so unless he limits people's ability to associate with each other, this isn't going to change. A remarkably bad point. That was long. I wonder if Digi would think I have "something to say". |

| I'm subscribed to Digibro on YT, but I never watch his videos lmao. He's just... not... a priority for me, and I'm putting that nicely. |

I personally prefer anime youtubers who make more original content than "reactions to anime" stuff. Digi seems to be this halfway medium from what I can tell. Composed of some videos that actually took effort in my eyes. Reviews (some are deep dives which I loved, and some are surface level react videos/first impressions which honestly don't do shit for me or really much of anyone else). And then rants like this which I don't know why people would be too offended by. I mean, it isn't like comments on reviews are allowed to be directly attached on this website. Where is our "free speech"? lol. As usual though, I just don't normally watch a video like this. I would always prefer someone pointing out anime techniques, history, or just well thought out opinion pieces on more than just one anime, or talking passionately about an anime they really love. I think I prefer when a youtuber talks about a specific animator. I think I always love those compilation videos showing off an animator's work best.Where youtuber says nothing and lets the work speak for itself. If they aren't going to do that, well might as well make good skits or be really stupid like Melonpan. Nothing wrong with being a super otaku. <3 |

Cabron said: Digibrony likes to dish out, but when the tables are turned he can't take it. I don't think that is it.... but if you would prefer to watch a youtuber who I personally think cares the most about his audience and what they have to say, well that would be Linkara. And probably my favorite youtuber. He says he reads every single comment. And I think by saying he reads every single comment, he gets nicer comments. I think Digibro has no idea how to foster a positive (and hopefully intellectual) community is all. If he had stuck only to properties which attract that sort of person, I think he may have done better. If he had say, asked his viewers questions and maybe to even correct him, he may have gotten better commentators. But learning how to drive your comments section to a more positive space, well this is only something I have seen one youtuber do well at. And that is Linkara. I think Digibro just has no idea how to foster the type of group he would want to converse with. Which makes him want to sooner shut off the comments, then to actually do any of the work required to get that community as his main base. It could be a reason why he started his youtube in the first place. I think some people search for people equal to them to communicate with. But I guess if I had advice for Digibro on how to foster better comments, it would be to stop being so dismissive of the comments in the first place.... and read every one as if it were fanmail. And then after a while, say he reads every comment. Because it will show in his videos too. What he is doing right now is, not reading everything people say to him... so I guess what is the use in commenting anyway? But the youtuber I know who reads everything, has the best comments section on youtube. |

jal90 said: This right here. I like Digibro, he's basically the only reason I even use YouTube anymore, but I've gotta disagree with what he's saying. He's missing one of the key points of what makes YouTube different. He can want his ideal website for sharing media, but it's stupid to complain about comments on YouTube videos. As long as he doesn't disable comments on all his videos, I'm not gonna have an issue.I mean, the comparison between a manga/book and a Youtube video doesn't hold water the moment Youtube is a social media website. The site is not only about creating and posting content, it is also about sharing, commenting and following it. |
 |
| This has to be the epitome of anime nerds thinking they’re Hot shit when in reality no one outside their little circle cares! I mean Jesus...this Digi guy is beyond cringey. |
| Putting it simply, it all depends on ones beliefs, and since we all have different beliefs, it would be impossible to convince others of what is moral or if one has a right to do something. I am not the biggest digibro fan, in fact i barely ever watch his content, but i do believe in his point of how people are now too pumped to dislike things because for some reason in this world, it is popular to not like something, especially if it is popular (frozen-let it go). People love voicing their opinions, good or not, and it is easier to critique than it is to praise. Like I said before, there isn't an easy solution, especially with all the people against this idea because they love being negative and putting others down since they either have no life or are just plain mean and don't care about others. |

| The only thing that happens when you make a thread about Digibro, is the massive tidal wave of hate. He's like the anti-christ here on MAL. It's not worth it dude. |

| Woah, a Digibro video on MAL, now I can watch people hate on Digibro and call his video stupid despite not having watched it or missing the point entirely. Regarding the video, it's true that having dumb comments directly attached to your product can be annoying and it's hard to get rid of them because dumb people don't know they're dumb, like when MAL tried to get rid of shitposting by implementing the character limit but people would just shitpost and then add some bullshit to bypass it instead of rethinking whether or not their comment was useful to the discussion in any way. The one thing Digibro seems to miss is that for a bunch of channels, the comment section is here to interact with the content creator. |
| digibro being retarded, nothing unusual |

Bourmegar said: this should be a rule for the internet "critism of digibro will unfortunately invariably lead to comments justifying digibro." Well done to everyone that watched the video and read the comments on this thread before posting everyone else keep trying! But yeah agree with digibro good comments on youtube or whatever would be nice. I know people want attention thats fine but "unless the conversation is interesting, unless you have something to say about the video or an informed point then.. ..no one one should have to read your shit" - digibro at 11:00-11:20This is why it is good that we have reddit and even MAL and etc. There, ppl at least discuss stuff. Heck this thread alone proves Digibro's point. |
| “we all live with the objective of being happy, our lives are all different and yet the same.” |
| While I do agree that comments like "X show sucks dick" aren't exactly fundamental in any way, it is partly the fault of the content creator himself, as to why his community is that way You can take other YT channels like jacksepticeye for instance and see the lack of 'shitposts' on his comment sections even if he has to reiterate the fact every vlog. Point is, although he is referring to the comment section as a whole, he can't really make a sufficient argument about his own comments section given the community he's built due to his nature (really bad from what I've heard :P). Then again, I haven't seen any Digi so I can't really say if it's deserved or not (though judging by all the hate, it seems deserved) |

It does not protect you at all from private institutions not allowing certain things.Actual video title: "Digibro Doesn't Like Free Speech" Tangential: This point, to everyone who uses "free speech rights" or "freedom of speech" to defend their actions when they get everyone around them mad by saying obnoxious things. All it means is that the government isn't allowed to arrest you for saying them. It doesn't mean that people aren't allowed to give you dirty looks, it doesn't mean that people aren't allowed to argue with you about them, and it doesn't mean that people aren't allowed to tell you to get off their private lawn and take your opinions elsewhere. And besides, if the best defense for your point is that you have the freedom of speech to say it, then that's the weakest defense of them all. |

And not every comment they make is actually about the video or even worth reading. |

| It was always obvious he was an obnoxious snob, but man, that video was the height of elitism. How dare the proles think they have the right to comment on the content they spend their valuable time on. The moment you start selling and monitizing your content, they have stopped being just "art" and have become a product. And even if I'm not directly paying you with money, I am paying you with my valuable time AND personal data that you sell to the corporations in return for ad revenue. So yes, I have every right to comment on how good or shitty I think your content is, in the way I want to, or discuss anything related to the said content with my other fellow consumers. |
