YouTubers can now pause comments after Google moderation tweaks

Some moderation tools have also been renamed to make them less confusing.

I don't trust videos that have comments disabled, they're usually shills or BS.
- Depends on the content
  
  If it's a product or service, then I'll find other sources before buying
  
  If it's an ~~academic source~~ lecture recording or news story, then I prefer comments to be disabled. Shows me that the channel cares enough about it
  
  if academic or news source is scared of being called out, i don't trust them. yes, i do understand that with worthy comments there is a lot of garbage, but that is cost of doing business.
That’s good so when someone releases a 4 hour video about me I can just pause my comments.
- lol that was my thought too.
This is going to be great for people distributing misinformation.

Good work google, making sure people have an even HARDER time distinguishing reality on your platform.
Dude this is only like 10 years too late. Youtubers deserve comorehensive moderation and curstion tools. Youtube comments should be at the forefront of video discussion.
