I block out all comments. Those are likely all bots or people indistinguishable from bots, I use grease monkey and a javascript script to block it out, I also use another one to be able to increase the playback speed beyond the arbitrary 2x limit.

But getting the clean google-videos layout which was just a video player and a search bar can be done entirely with ublock :D

definitely not. there are very few bots in YouTube comments these days, though there certainly are some.

there is a LOT of brown-nosing, though.

I don't watch ultra-popular stuff, so what I see is different from what you will see, necessarily.

Depends on the video. In DiabloLOL series there will always be someone breaking down all references second by second.

In gameplay and game streaming videos you'll find useful tidbits and hints on how to play a game.

etc.
