Most of the ones on Vought International's YouTube page are good.

One of the top comments on the video for Devin Townsend's Quarantine performance of "Why" is "Devin is my favorite Disney princess".

I've seen a shit load of good and positive comments. Far more than I see bad ones actually.

The few I read are positive-like I was watching an ELO performance and some kid who said he was 12 was really getting into their music which I didn't necessarily expect, but was glad to see

I enjoy good ones but I get mildly annoyed when a comment is just reciting the punchline in something comedic. Yeah I probably should finish the video before reading comments but still.

I feel like they've improved since Twitter became the main stomping ground for awfulness. Or at the least the actual funny/insightful ones will get voted to the top (which is the direct opposite of what happens on Twitter).

I feel like they've improved since Twitter became the main stomping ground for awfulness. Or at the least the actual funny/insightful ones will get voted to the top (which is the direct opposite of what happens on Twitter). I tend to read a few out of habit. Mostly just because if you minimize a lot of mainstream music videos on an iPhone the music will stop. So rather than watching the video multiple times I just have it on for background music. But still occasionally I’ll want to still look at my phone and so I read some comments. I’m surprised multiple people here have said most YouTube comments are good. In my experience there’s some good ones, but nowhere near the majority. I mean they may not be as toxic as they once where, but it’s few that give me a laugh or meaningful insight. True that is a high standard for a YouTube comment, but that’s what I consider good. Also, a pet peeve of mine is how nearly ANY music video 5 years or older has some variation of, “I can’t believe this came out ____ years ago and it still slaps in ___!” |

Some of the technical videos I watch on youtube have mostly decent comments, but I think in that realm there is a lot of help in those areas where experienced people help out others. I know a few things I've gone on to fix myself, sometimes the comments cover stuff the video might not, like a few gotchas.

For those kind of videos I appreciate when the comment confirms whether or not what’s being described actually worked or how to modify the instructions to be more helpful. It helps viewers to know whether they should actually watch the video or just skip it and find something better. |

There was an epic thread on the clip of Batman unmasking near the end of Batman Returns. Basically everyone started doing takes on "[Civilian identity], why are you dressed as [superhero identity]?"

Ones that I found amusing are on a video of the Neon Nightriders level from TMNT: Turtles in Time. If you remember, the level is set in AD 2020.
January 1: “OMG it’s finally here! Time to strap on my hoverboard and go racing through the streets!”
*several months later*
“Well, 2020 sure turned out to be a disappointment!”
And credit to one person who pointed out that the level did predict one thing correctly: all the Foot Soldiers are wearing masks.

I got a lovely one on my channel commending me for covering niche subjects not normally discussed by other MMA YouTube channels. "I like how it wants to stay niche"
Why be the 400th person to talk about Conor when I can be the first to talk about Big Nog?

"It's a little known fact that this is actually the radio edit. The original version was fourteen and a half hours long. The "screaming" section of the song is a shortened version of hour six. In live performances Nick Mason would take that opportunity to go get takeout for the rest of the band. There was also an extended organ solo during which Gilmour would restring his guitar, as his strings were completely melted by the end of his twenty-third solo.
When the song was over the band members had to be placed on glucose drips to rehydrate, which prompted Waters to declare that the song "could perhaps be a bit long"."
a comment on an upload of the Pink Floyd song Echoes.

Trip hop related videos are full of people just enjoying the music and posting positive messages.

I find music video videos, particularly for old songs, tend to usually have people sharing memories they had of first hearing the song.

I've seen quite a few, a lot of them on music videos but plenty on other things as well.
I think my favourite, or at least my most recent favourite, was someone recounting the time they drove to a house in Beverley Hills to audition as the drummer for Redd Kross in the late eighties, and overheard Jeff McDonald on the phone pointedly telling their manager that they didn't want to open for Guns N' Roses.
