How to Turn on Youtube comments?
Youtube is a video networking platform for watching, uploading, and sharing videos worldwide.
The website has become essential for new song releases, trailer releases, etc. With the Youtube Adsense program, many have become trained vloggers to settle in this job.
However, the exciting side of Youtube is reading comments while watching the video. It has become a subconscious routine as comments have become a part of the video itself.
But there is a negative side to comments as well.
With anyone able to comment on a video, it is tough to control unfavorable comments, spammers, and trollers that may degrade the goodwill kf the video. It is the publisher’s right to turn on or off comments.
But if you don’t have comments enabled, a massive part of feedback would be lost, turning you to depend on the like and dislike percentage instead. Like Instagram business pages, you can use YouTube for business by boosting your products and reaching users who will turn into potential clients.
So, learn how to turn on Youtube comments or turn off YouTube comments on all videos and specific videos. The publisher can manage what videos need comments and feedback and what videos are sensitive to comments.
