Comments mean nothing. Literally never read them

You never read any comments?

Nope, they could literally not be there and I wouldn't know. Occasionally I leave a comment, but usually only on smaller creator channels. What is there to get from it?

A community. Relationships. Everything 😂

I'm being overly simplistic, youtube is just TV for me, I don't use it as a social network. But even here or insta, I'm very careful with who I follow or engage with. So many liers and trolls around and the internet has given everyone a voice. Gotta be careful what you listen to

I think it's a lot different approaching YouTube from the point of view of someone who makes videos on YouTube. In that case the comments are one of the only ways we have to interact with the people watching our videos.

Thats true & from that perspective its important to engage with followers. Its still not the place to build community, YT its a place to grow an audience and for the oublic to discover you. Codys no small creator discord is a great example of transfering audience to community
Strange parts are doing a fantastic job of that as well. Built a big audience on YT and now have a private discord for a community of makers inspired by or following the channel.
