YouTube Comment Ranking Is Broken

But it seems extremely clumsy not to implement a solution that takes into account the context in which the comment is shown. Just more evidence that the project was pushed through in a rush, without regard for consequences.
The new system really should have been opt-in, like their other projects, so little things like this could be ironed out.
But! currently, most of the top comments are from people complaining that the authors "did not understand the movie" or that it was a great movie because "director was living in paris during bla bla".
Wat?
Previous comments were from followers of the channel, they were relevant. New ones are apparently from humorless bitter men.
Are men only bitter , are women not allowed on the internet?
Or that I thought "people" in my native language and went with a poor translation in my head.
Or, I'm a douchebag with an anti-women agenda, funded by several organizations. Spreading my idea that women should not be allowed on the internet as you just figured out as a smart person you are.
Who knows.
Now it just shows random crap, definitely not sorted in any meaningful way.
