Even worse are the comments on old songs, any culture, any language. You'll always have comments like "I am 13 and I love this music! Modern music bad!". It really sucks the joy out of listening to those songs.

I solve this by never looking at comments.

There was a browser extension they replaced all the words in yt comments with "bla". Pretty great stuff.

The good news is, you don't need your eyes for listening

Now you tell me. I've been putting my headphones on my eyes for years and wondering why I couldn't hear anything.

It really sucks the joy out of listening to those songs.

Does it tho?

Really?

Why are you so mentally invested in that song and other people's opinions of it?

Some people are irrationally angry at everything that anyone young does or likes, because deep down it reminds them of their own mortality and the short span of time we are actually allocated to live life.

Plenty of opposites too.

"I am 47 and discovered this thanks to my kids. Not all old people reject modern music"

The chorus of: "I'm and "

I find more obnoxious than the "who's watching/listening in " comments.

Broadly speaking I don't bother looking at comments on youtube, the signal to noise ratio is on the floor.
