Hopefully this will increase the quality of comments on Youtube, which are currently unreadable.

I really doubt it'll do much.

It will stop perhaps the very worst 5%

But the comments are so awful that skimming 5% is nothing.

Adam Buxton (who used to work with Joe Cornish) has a show about music videos in which he mocks youtube comments. It's pretty good.
