    How to hide Youtube comments

    I thought this might be useful to some of you, if you're like me and often stunned by Youtube comments but can't help to check them.

    Re: How to hide Youtube comments

    I'd love for the clever people at the Googleplex to engineer a method to hide comments for us admins - even if it's as rudimentary as blocking a server.

    Youtube can be a cracking resource for staff and occasionally kids, and I'd love to open it up to our year 8s on their netbooks to view at home, but the level of idiocy and rudeness in them turns the server our reporting software (Policy Central) is on to a molten lump of uselessness.

    Wouldn't it be possible to use some rule-based ad blocking software, add a rule like that but disable logging for it?

    Re: How to hide Youtube comments

    Personally I like John Kovalic's take on YouTube comments

    But it would indeed make sense, and for far more things than just YouTube, for there to be a way to set a preference to not view comments. Most news sites could so with it, tbh...

    Very true for 99.9% of YT comments!

    I've got a Greasemonkey script that disables them too. I know you can technically ignore them, but mind-gnawing idiocy has a tendency to jump out at you.

    I thought I'd miss reading comments on some video but it really is so much nicer without them!
