When your channel is tiny, like mine, it’s easy to see and interact with comments. When Ryan first started his channel, I was commenting under my private account and he was hearting my comments along with everyone else’s, of course I was always spouting EU stuff, so it probably drew his eye. But then as a channel gets bigger, and your comments section goes from a dozen or more to a few hundred then a thousand, it probably gets hard to keep track.
Like yesterday…I made a Brie video…and on cue this morning a couple of Brie Bots have vomited all over the comment’s section. Because I’m such a small channel, it’s the first thing I see right away, because I get so few comments there is no ignoring it. I’m sure if I were bigger, the comments would have been washed away over night by normal people and not Brie Bots and I would have ignored them unless I did a close scan.
Now am I going to give Brie Bots attention in comments? No. If they push my buttons enough I’ll make a video to mock them, but I will hold to my only interacting with normal people in comments, no SJWS. That means an occasional heart and some discussion if I see room for it.
