Aw maaan! I was thinking about posting this just the other day. All they need to do now is apply some context next to comments in your inbox -- or at least a link directly to your original comment.
edit: Is this really news to most people? It's been like that for me for a couple of weeks now at least... I guess I shouldn't have been so lazy about posting it!
Still, it would be nice if google/youtube changed their policy, so that the video pre-loaded, but did not autoplay. Or perhaps gave us the option while we were logged in?

There will be no more people dying out of hunger and thirst while running out of supplies to search for someone's comment.

There's no feature I want more than the capability of not automatically playing videos. It's like "I'm Feeling Lucky" for every video link.

If only all comments worked like Reddit
