MANILA, Philippines – In an effort to clean up comments, YouTube is shifting its commenting system worldwide to better target individuals and the community they’re a part of.
YouTube announced on a blogpost that comments will now be powered by Google+.
Top comments on YouTube videos will now come from the video maker, popular personalities, those in your Google+ circles, and ongoing discussions regarding the video.
Users can also switch the comments to a chronological order, showing the latest comments on top by using the drop-down menu above the comments.
Comments and replies are threaded as well, and users also get the ability to choose who sees their comments before they publish it.
According to the post, video makers on YouTube can also set points of moderation for comments. Comments can be flagged for review before they show up on your video and specific words can be blocked as needed. Comments from specific viewers can also be set for auto-approval if a video owner chooses.
YouTube also left a video explaining the new comment system for users.
