The simple answer is going to be cost effectiveness. It does not reward them to punish their customers, but it DOES reward them to punish their creators (in this sense employees, hired freelancers). Moreover, the advertisers don’t care about the comments, only the content nature.

You're right. It's not right. Comments can be so toxic to their creators, especially the large ones that make the most money. It can't just be our problem. At some point YouTube needs to step up and do something before something bad happens. It's getting worse and worse...

There are def “trolls” out there. It’s diff if it is constructive criticism, but when they are just calling me “round” or “fat” when I just had a baby and/or that I’m “so ugly” and “don’t deserve my husband” - that’s when you get blocked/muted. How in the world is that helpful?

OMG, Jess! I'm so sorry! That's the kind of crap I'm talking about. Those people should be stripped of their privileges.

Absolutely agree, except for one issue that could arise - channels using the block feature as a way to punish viewers they don’t like. Especially if it’s only 5 & they’re blocked. Sadly, we know, there are many in the community that clique together & could cause problems.

I agree that this could be a problem. That's why YouTube would have the final say by reviewing the recent comments from the account. There would be some kind of checklist that the reviewer would look at to decide if action needed to be taken.

I've been seeing a lot of toxic people in the comments section lately. More than usual. Can't you block them?
-
I can and I will. But wouldn't it be great if they were given some kind of consequence so that they can't keep spreading their hate around to so many channels? A lot of them channel hop wreaking havoc in comment section after comment section.

That's a great idea. I would personally love it if once I block one of these people they can never see my content again.
