No, it claimed to find that 4% of them did so (while 1% of the Control group did so)
videos that make 1 in 25 people who watch them into full-on Nazis seem pretty wild, actually

The study didn't attempt to discern if the commenters were oppositional, supportive of some isolated claims, or "full-on Nazis", so that's a big overreach. I say this because I started watching and commenting on a far-right channel myself - but not to agree with it!
