Swedish gamer Felix “PewDiePie” Kjellberg with more than 30 million subscribers on Google's online video site announced that he would permanently disabling comments on his videos and he will turn to other platforms such as Twitter and Reddit to reconnect with fans.
PewDiePie isn’t alone: YouTube now attracts more than a billion viewers a month, yet whatever the content – whether its the new Taylor Swift video or a dog falling off a skateboard into a basket of kittens – the comments section will often be a warzone of insults, links to dodgy sites, and self-promotional tweets directing people to competing videos of dogs skateboarding into kittens.
However, YouTube has attempted but largely failed to clean things up.
