A lack of anonimity has not notably improved the discourse on YouTube, if anything the real name policy has silenced many that would push back against the verbal diarrhoea, as the person who wrote said insane post might easily hunt you down now.

YouTube is pseudonymous, most people don’t use real names But point taken.

It seems like ultimately this ends up with most platforms shutting down comments or curating everything which is a damn shame place to end up from the internet I started on, but maybe that was a false sample being mostly academics and geeks in the 80s and early 90s.
