That's probably a good example of why "freedom" isn't the right way to measure a community's value. Because the entirety of all youtube comments' value can only be measured in what worse things they authors were prevented from doing while commenting there.

Freedom of speech is great, and important. That doesn't mean that there's any value in just anybody exploring the boundaries of it.

This says more about your sampling bias than youtube itself.

And the fact you are posting this says more about the magnitude of your political bias (its exact direction being yet tbd) than anything you read. I'm not sure if you realize how many nuts really say what they believe and believe what they say.

And both of the above say more about your willingness to characterize the parent than about the issue under discussion.

Doesn't seem to matter, as long as they don't also ACT on what they believe/say. Which is the case for most people (both positive, e.g. they are racist but they wont act on it, and negative, e.g. they say their are this or that good thing, but they're all talk about it).
