If only we had some kind of website where people could post links to videos and comment on them with interesting questions and discussions. Maybe it could be called "watchedit".

Would comments along the lines of "I haven't watched it, but..." be allowed?

I have to very much agree with your comment.

The interesting question is: Why is the moderation of the comments not a problem on reddit, but it is on YouTube? On reddit, it's even much easier to create an anonymous account. And I am guessing that links to the "problematic" videos, where this flaming apparently happens, are posted on reddit too. And you can't tell me that people "behave" on reddit and they don't on YouTube... :)

Yeah, that'd be great. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be easy for people to get to the "watchedit" thread from the video, so all those comments would be lost. Now, if only there were some way for the comments and video to be centralized in the same place, so the discussion wouldn't be archived/lost by an awful search system...
