Comment Comment by gpt5 I’d argue that YouTube simply implemented a Reddit like sorting mechanism.The top comments on a YouTube video are very similar to Reddit.When you optimize for engagement (e.g. Facebook’s sorting), you get toxicity. When you optimize for approval, you get funny and wholesome stuff. parent gpt5 4 years ago
