… when defining what a troll is falls into such subjective realms?<\/p>\n

YouTube may have the worst commenters in the world, but there's still gold in that dross, and there are plenty of other sites that are pretty awful. \u00a0The problem is two-fold:<\/p>\n

1. Comments can have interesting, valuable, useful, socially engaging content, so simply turning off seeing them is undesirable.<\/p>\n

2. Reading innumerable comments where the commenter is suggesting (often with pitiable grammar and spelling) that a\u00a0previous commenter, or the poster of the video\/content, should be [fill in whatever horrid personal violations, cruelties, assaults, or fatalities you can imagine]ed, can really make you wish a solar flare would wipe humanity from the planet.<\/p>\n

I don't have an answer, but I'd love it if Google did. \u00a0At a minimum, coming up with something like "SafeSearch" in Google searches, for comments, would both allow people to express themselves in whatever manner they wish, but let those of us with marginally weaker stomachs see what others have said without being subjected to the filth.<\/p>\n

If only were it as easy to do\u00a0as to say.<\/p>\n
