I did stop using them, years ago. YouTube I tolerate because I disable comments. Reddit is a cesspool.

There are several valid places to draw the line between what is and isn't a social network, but aren't there enough similarities between Reddit and HN to not draw it between the two? Subreddits is the main difference I think, but that sort of thing can't be a requirement because Twitter doesn't have something similar.

Sure, but HN is civilized, Reddit is not.

Disable viewing them on other videos?

or allowing others to comment on your videos?

I have a comment blocker enabled on all sites, with exceptions like HN. Much more pleasant experience.
