I find it somewhat ironic that you say this in a comment! Why not read the damned blog post and be left alone?

I think the popularity of comments on sites like this one demonstrates that comments done right can add a significant amount of value in many cases; not sure that mainstream videos where the commenters are basically sampled from the entire population are such a case, but comments can be useful on videos aimed at a narrower audience.

Because he said Youtube, not comments in general. It's perfectly non-ironic to expect different things from different sites.
