The end of the reign of trolls on YouTube?

Have you ever read the comments on a video YouTube? There is no quicker way to rob you of your faith in humanity . YouTube is getting worse, but finally about to recover.
At present, the way work comments on YouTube is simple. The most popular comments are first. Only this is not always insightful, useful or even intelligible.
The new system uses algorithms to determine the posts of the people you want to see the top. This includes your friends, creator of the video, and "popular personalities."
Better. YouTube will implement son conversations, so it will be easy and intuitive to know that answers that. Considering that Google owns YouTube and Gmail, one wonders why it took so long to ...
A new platform for conversation will be powered by google +. So if you do not want to shout your opinions to a bunch of anonymous trolls, you'll be able to decide whether you want your comment to be public or visible only to people in your circles.
Unfortunately, the anonymity of YouTube comments brought out the worst in many people. You will see homophobic racist, sexist, ignorant, and / or horrible on almost all popular posts. And it is almost impossible to moderate any of this type of video that shows millions of views a week so ... YouTube introduced filters that will make it easier moderation.
The creators will still ban or delete comments, but it is also possible to add keywords to a blacklist to send in the limbo of the internet.
Everything will be deployed, as usual, in the coming months.
