Well there go any comments that want to criticize and challenge the norm~

Youtube isn't a safe space dammit

Iceland, I disgaree. Youtube is not anarchy, it is privately owned organization that has stakeholders. It is not good for the growth of revenue from advertisement, to have absolute anarchy. Now do I think they should be doing something else, yes I do (like giving channel owners more power to moderate better, not the user).I always felt the current method of moderatation on youtube is awful. However, doing nothing, is worse, youtube comment section is still in the wild west days, and it truthfully needs law and order. So many youtubers have literally closed down comment section, or stopped paying attention to them because of anarchistic nature of the comment section. 

If someone is doxing, or making threats then sure. Everything else is fair game. Can't take negative opinions time to log out or disable the comments (like you mention). I see this being abused by overly sensative people and that's why I'm against it. Rather Youtube be chaotic then a place where any opinion might be flagged because of hurt feelings.
