Surprised nobody's commented yet about the jarring juxtaposition of the running chat that reflects the sentiment of average Youtube viewers alongside content that's meant for a fairly specific audience (developers).

Or rather... how discouraging it is that it IS such a juxtaposition.

It's well-known by now that Youtube is not the place to go to find quality discussion. It still stings a little bit to see it applied in realtime to people you care about, even if it is just because you loosely share a profession and professional culture.

To solve this problem, i use the AlienTube firefox extension, which brings reddit discussions over to youtube.

I've heard of that extension. Does that make it better? What happens if there are multiple discussion threads in reddit of the same video? I assume the extension does a pseudo-submit/match-check to the reddit first to fetch the thread.

It shows a tabbed interface of the few most popular discussion threads over reddit.

There is a button to hide the chat box. I couldn't click it too soon.

Yeah, I hope Youtube doesn't try to become Twitch. It might be more appropriate to have a live twitter feed of some related hashtags.

Hiding that chat with chrome tools was the first thing I did upon opening the stream.
