they basically had the perfect comment system before they broke up the integration with google+, which was self-moderation. what that does is let the owner of the comment moderate their own comments. and, let's be clear here - i own this comment. not you. you own the space, so you have the right to remove it. but, it's my thread. this was pleasantly anarchist, but far too complicated for people to understand...

as for your channel. do you have the responsibility to moderate it? yes. it's your channel. might that mean hiring somebody? maybe, it might, yeah.

the absolute last thing that i want is some fucking bureaucrat at youtube deciding what can and cannot appear in my comments section. and, if you think that the system won't fall into censorship...well, you're fucking swedish. you grew up in a totalitarian dystopia.

keep the thought police out of north america. thanks.
