In recent, many top creators have created their own videos speaking out against YouTube’s poor comment system in hopes the platform does something. As of now, YouTube has not done much in response to the growing issue. It is hard to tell if YouTube ever will, given the fact that the issue has plagued the platform for years. For now, it seems the comment section will continue to be plagued by spammers, scammers, and trolls.
