>>121274>>121272There was a time where youtube had more of a "community" feel to it, when you could do a video reply (that didn't end well), PM others, make comments on other channels, customize your own channel, and other features I don't remember.
The only community type feature now is the community section that lets you do polls and posts for your subscribers but they are easy to miss if you are on not on mobile.
I actually miss when youtube could be its own community for smaller channels who just vlogged or played games before monetization became the main incentive, but I have to agree that it didn't do a good job at being a community even back then.
Youtube got many of its features mauled by google over the years, the most significant for me was removing your subscriptions from the home page. It makes sense why nobody wants to use it as their main platform.
