The YouTube comment section is often as popular as the actual video on which people are commenting. YouTube comments give you the chance to share a thought or memory, debate a topic, decry an opinion, or support someone else's stance.
YouTube comment sections can be home to hilarious anecdotes or brutal vitriol, but either way, they're never boring.
If you've left a YouTube comment that you now want to remove, you can always delete it.
Removing YouTube comments only takes a few seconds whether you're on a computer or on mobile, so don't throw up your hands and leave that pesky comment out there for all to see.
