Youtube comments are so void of meaning.
I scrollwed down to the comment section as I watch the video "Pixar used to be special" by Downward Diary. 686 likes on a comment that says "This reminds me of the rant videos you made when you first started moving away from YTPs." when in the first 20 seconds of the video this is said: "You may notice the presentation style is a lot like my older videos". I genuinely do not understand why that person in the comments had to point out the exakt same thing the creator says in first 20 seconds of commentary. Like I understand reposting shit jokes for likes, but the thoughts people share on Youtube baffles me. They added no new substance or view point to what we both have watched. At most they just share their ability to regurgitate the things they hear from the video. I mean at most I'm happy I now have a good reason to never doom scroll on a video sharing site, since there is nothing I'm missing out by refraining from it. The comment section of the site has become so full of garbage. Only time you might find something new or insightful is when you track down a video with like 1k views with decent editing, then you can read something of worth in the comments. Otherwise is too obscure to have anybody sharing their thoughts on the video. This post is getting a bit too long, but I'll write a rant on old and modern Youtube in more depth soon.

What are you on about? I said I wished there was a grace period before accounts could comment, meaning even if you made countless burner accounts they would have to stay active long enough to post comments. Nothing about ID, and Youtube still demands that you are it least 13 and had your legal guardian when making a account or using their services. I just want the account age to factor in if you could comment or not. Most of legal framework is in place already. Is just they stoped inforce it ever since they realised they could make Youtube kids and exploit parents naivety of the platform.
Sorry I completely misunderstood what you meant to say.
Edit: it does make me wonder why Youtube doesn't simply make you solve a CAPTCHA before posting a comment.
