Totalbiscuit's take on it.  He had high hopes for this and wound up kicked in the proverbial nads.
I recently heard that the word heretic is derived from the greek work heriticos which means "able to choose"
The more you know...

I think it's an epic fail--the feed doesn't update with comments anymore.  It looks like Shane and Hawkeye haven't posted a comment on YouTube for weeks. :(  What's more, the comments themselves are so effed up, I can no longer sort through them by thread or see all of them to view past threads.  What the hell, YouTube?

I've posted several just today; you might want to check your settings.

Remember that they'll show up on the Google+ bell at the top right, not in your Inbox as they were before.

I don't have YouTube anymore.  I deleted my account there ages ago.
And even between getting rid of my account and YouTube's recently, I would just go to youtube.com/user/shanedk/feed to see all the comments you posted.  Same idea with Hawkeye.  Now it doesn't update like it used to. :(  So now I haven't been able to see any new comments (I can still see the ones from before the new youtube though, oddly enough).  Maybe it sets it so they won't display their by default?  Since the new stuff, I mean?

The new stuff is actually Google+, not YouTube.

So now I need a Google+ account to even *see* your comments being updated whereas before I just needed to go to the URL I just listed to see them?  Not cool, Google.  Not cool.

Try this URL: https://plus.google.com/u/0/100197545745919590620/posts

You might be able to see my timeline without logging in. Of course, even at that, although it shows original comments I make on videos, it doesn't show replies.

Quote from: MrBogosity on November 10, 2013, 04:09:23 PMThat's fixed, and we have decent comment threading now.

Not if you're on YouTube, on a video and press "all comments".  They took away the option from there to view it by replies/thread.  Fuck you YouTube/Google for doing that.

I'm seeing threading in the All Comments page.

FAIL: you block a user and he can STILL post; you just can't see his posts (but everyone else can!).

I don't.  There is no option for it.  Only top comments and newest first.  Both have no indent next to the comments that are a reply to a comment like it used to have making it really difficult to follow threads.  Very poorly done if they are threaded.

Yeah, not only that but they still remain subscribed to you and can continue to watch your videos and what not.

They haven't died off yet, and this is like the 100th time that an update has made their site  worse.
