Are you saying one needs to be a content creator to be able to have an opinion, or that a comment should only be made via another lengthy and tedious video?

A comment will only annoy the video creator and a handful a other people who happen to read it. I'm suggesting that if they truly were sincere, putting out their own video content would surly reach a wider audience.

It's simply just sinister behaviour, intended to harm anyone who has a platform. The 'opinion' is just an excuse or perhaps even a mask to hide the comment's true purpose.
PlainName:
Well, putting out a video will likely have an audience of one. Even so, isn't that a high bar to set? It's like saying if you really have to disagree with Scott Adams you should do it in a syndicated cartoon strip.

Surely the video creator is the person they want to read the comment. The rest are irrelevant; just bystanders. Unless one is playing to the gallery, of course, but that's what twitter's for.

In Scott Adams' case, probably. I doubt very much he cares about anyone who isn't fully agreeable with him. They can shout into the ether if they want. Free world and all that.

The comments section in youtube of creators that instead really do engage with their audience is a privilege for participants.

Such is the internet.

That’s why I say that if you have people from both sides accusing you of being the other, you’ve probably got a balanced stance on things. (That’s happened to me over the years many times…)

100% agree. And not just in politics.

Like if you point out a factual error in a tutorial video, and the channel’s acolytes bark back “well if it’s so bad why don’t you make your own tutorial!”  :palm:
