This sounds obviously true and in theory I agree with you, but if you look at the youtube page it took literally four comments before someone started joking about murdering people who don't share their transhumanist views.
People still look at Youtube comments?
I'm partially kidding, but.. it's widely known that Youtube comments are essentially useless, and I instinctively overlook them. If there are many people who don't, that'd honestly be a surprise to me.
Yeah, it's certainly not helpful when people do that.
I would think, though, that the actual videos on youtube probably have a bigger impact on people's opinions then the comments under those videos, considering how inane most of those comments tend to be. For some reason the comments sections on youtube videos seems to be almost universally dominated by the lowest common denominator.
