Is it a problem with YouTube itself or the people that YouTube attracts or is the problem both ? It would be great if YouTube comments were as serious and intelligent as the comments and discussions here.

Why are most of the comments and discussions in YouTube comments sections so terrible and immature ?

My first thought is; what kind of videos are you watching?
I watch a lot of YouTube and read a lot of comments, and most of the comments I've seen are pretty friendly and polite.
The secret is to say something positive and honest.
Once a comment of mine got thousands of likes.

In my experience, videos that are meant to supply sound for relaxation, healing, and the like have got almost nothing but positive and kind comments underneath them.
YouTube content is highly guided by an evolving algorithm that gauges our interests and stances.
We can, in fact, directly instruct it to hide specific channels and even ads from us. It is also aware of which videos we chose to "save for later" and attempts to extrapolate new content that could be of interest from those.
In a sense, it aims to both understand our mindsets and challenge our habits to a very specific level that results in our maximum usage of the plataform. That may include a certain level of conflict.

Then why does it keep getting me wrong and sending me RW garbage?
Yes, it is much like a robot.
Maybe you have been peeking at sites with that sort of content? Even if only to know what to ward away?

Nope.
I rarely bother with the comments, but I haven't seen this either. Maybe because I'm pretty fussy about letting TrashTube waste my time. I didn't dive into TrashTube in any significant way until the pandemic hit. Then I discovered the realm of ... well... I call it TrashTube here for a reason. There's a lot of it, and the algorithms seem to shove you towards it unless you know better. It's weird.

Actually it provides a much more realistic view of their souls.
