kokonut.7683 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Any ideas? Is this part of their new strategy for collecting feedback? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyninja.2954 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Yes, because feedback on youtube videos is of high value and quality. /sIt's most likely the reason why many channels, which do not live off of youtube monetization, disable comments: to prevent trolls and internet negativity.When/if the developers want feedback, they make threads on both reddit and the official forums which can easier be followed and moderated.

Abelisk.5148 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 This is a common tactic for video game developers, to avoid trolls and the vocal minority to dissuade players. Positive vibes only :)Edit: their videos seem to be commentable for me. Maybe you got banned from posting there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demitel.1340 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 What do you mean? They have comments enabled on their videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raknar.4735 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Comments are only disabled on the unlisted video made to announce tomorrow's Guild Chat. I don't think it'll be the norm.Edit: Link to the post for anyone wondering https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/guild-chat-shadow-in-the-ice-preview/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comments probably turned off to stop speculation from uncovering what the trailer means until the Guild Chat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My employer keeps comments turned off on their Youtube channel because they only really use Youtube as an easy way of uploading videos that can be linked on social media, and it would be just another thing the social media managers have to monitor with no real benefits. Especially since Youtube comments seem to be so much more negative and irrelevant to the specific video than anything else. All the organisations we work with do the same, probably for the same reasons. Youtube comments just aren't worth the hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that really the solution? As a developer wouldn't you want to know how your content is received by your audience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short preview videos would just be useless clutter on their channel and it's easier to gather feedback here. Don't overthink it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Healix.5819 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 The unlisted videos are specifically made for articles/whatever and are not meant to viewed directly, thus they disable the comments so they don't have to moderate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michram.6853 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Not lengthy vids are unlisted and have comment section turned off, to prevent channel from messiness and troll-free still you can upvote or not, so it's also some sort of feedback.

All the organisations we work with do the same, probably for the same reasons. Youtube comments just aren't worth the hassle.That's just an excuse used by cronies to cover the actual motive of disabling comments - to prevent alternative opinions and spread of information they don't want others to know. Comments have nothing to do with the publisher of video and all the responsibilities are with the user who left this comment. They don't need to moderate anything there, it's none of their business. Youtube moderation team will intervene, if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
