So recently YouTube decided, it'd be a good idea, to force you to use Google+ and from now on, you'll be adding comments with that (correct me if I'm wrong).

Now I want someone to head over to the guy's house who thought this up, and punch him real hard in the face, because what this does is get rid of the comment section.

Every single YouTube video I'm on now; the comments won't load, and I can't leave any comments either. YouTube is really known for it's stupid, small minded updates, that always ruins it a little bit more and I always held back, trying to tolerate it, but this... It's like someone at YouTube had an idea: Hey why don't take everything that's good in YouTube, and throw it away. Now let's create something like facebook, hoping we will get more money out it.

Who the hell would want to post a comment on YouTube for everyone to see what they want to do that evening?

A: Hey, #Hashtagfag this video looks like so much fun, why don't we do it too?

B: Oh yes, sure. We totally aren't any "made-up" characters.

Those of you who don't believe me, watch this:

Caution: This comment may contain phrases from Jeremy Clarkson, if you don't like it... ahm... I ... I don't know really what you should do...

 

In short:

Anyone know how to enable back the comments, preferably without messing up my YouTube settings?

I honestly have no idea how.  I honestly hate the new youtube layout. Speaking of the asshole who came up with the idea, myself and SharpCommand were joking about that. Here's some of our chat history.

 

 SharpCommand: What the heck, where the fuck is the reply button on Firefox?!

 SharpCommand: For YouTube...
 (him1250) Sean M.: I don't know. I'm currently using Firefox. FUCK THE NEW YOUTUBE LAYOUT and DOUBLE FUCK GOOGLE FOR BUYING YOUTUBE!
 SharpCommand: Don't tell me I have to use Google+ to reply -_-
 (him1250) Sean M.: I think you do. :(
 (him1250) Sean M.: FUCK MY LIKE! FUCK GOOGLE! :P
 SharpCommand: Imma try on Chrome because that is weird. I can't reply at all.
 SharpCommand: I CANT REPLY! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?! How the hell is the guy supposed to know I answered him if HE CANT SEE THE FUCKING MESSAGE?!
 (him1250) Sean M.: lol
 SharpCommand: SharpCommand rages over the new comment system

 SharpCommand: *flipdesk*
 (him1250) Sean M.: Its BS!
 SharpCommand: It is!
 (him1250) Sean M.: I'm about ready to take the next plane to CA and go to google and stick a nightstick in his ass!
 (him1250) Sean M.: lol
 (him1250) Sean M.: want to join me?
 (him1250) Sean M.: lol
 SharpCommand: YES!
 (him1250) Sean M.: xD

 (him1250) Sean M.: Make that multible nightsticks and maybe a Police K-9

 SharpCommand: lol

Fucking HELL mate that's exactly what I wanted to do...

 

I hate nearly every new YouTube 'update' with a passion- they're totally NOT for the user and just an effort to move to merging YouTube to Google+ as a contribution to their "War Against Facebook"

 

Yeah all my favourite top comments are now gone, and will probably never come back...

 

Let's just all gang up (millions of us) and track these UI bastards down, like they did to heretics in the medieval ages with torches

In a nutshell, it's trash. I don't think there is a way to disable it or re-enable the old system.

They deleted my videos as well,  never noticed the comment thing though.

Unfortunately when you use a free service you have little ability or entitlement to complain.

That's odd. None of my videos were deleted.

 

But yes, the new comment system...

You make a good point but they DO make money off of us whether we pay directly or not unfortunately, one of those damn loop holes..

Mind you I had only 2 videos that were up, but I checked my account this morning to find they were gone, had to rename my page AND they wanted me to use my first and last name.

Well, I think we all can agree that Youtube has gone full retard.

My thoughts:

Wait. Are you that guy? Or just the same opinion???

Same opinion. Grant is definitely not Dan (Nerd³) lol. 

This video is pretty good too about this issue (among other things)

I don't think I'd be complaining if I could actually write a comment, and / or see the other comments. One of my subscriber just made 1 of the most epic videos, I wanted to congratulate them, but no. Now the video is removed, so now I want to ask why it was removed, but ofcourse our friends at YT denied me that move. Maybe they think Hungary is in Asia or whatever, where there's no such thing as freedom of speech, maybe they... okay I'm gonna stop now.

Anyway if anyone finds out how to fix this, like he/she manages to finally comment let us know. I heard it's the same story on Google Chrome and on FireFox and even Internet Explorer.

I don't go on youtube for the comments since most of the people on there are either fighting each other or just generally acting stupid enough for me to not even want to grace it with a reply.. what ever happened to just watching the videos you want to watch and move on with your day? lol this is kinda' ridiculous

Hopefully for everyone. For me it was AdBlockPlus. I just disabled it on YT, reloaded the page, and pop, comments are back.

As much as you guys hate google plus, I think one of these days it will pretty awesome thing. Right now they are just trying to figure out features, honestly has anyone even tried it? Right now its not the best thing (that comment thing sucks) but sooner or later I think google will make this google plus thing pretty awesome. When has google ever let us down?

nope Youtube has went beyond full retard 

I guess I'm the only one who really doesn't care that they changed it. It sucked the way it was before and it sucks now.

It sucks and there are a lot of youtube riots against this update :/
