Nope. Doesn't matter if it's a kids video or a science channel. There's always horrible people in the comments. That's why comments were disabled on kids videos.

i watch usually like educational or crafty/diy type of videos and all the comments are wholesome and positive. i once made the mistake of looking at a news video on youtube and saw the types of comments you're talking about. so the type of video does seem to matter.

It's not a matter of the subject. It's a matter of the amount of views. The most controversial subject with little to no views won't have the comments. But even the most innocent video with a million views will have the comments.

So then it does matter the type of videos you watch—maybe not topic, but view count. I’m good staying in lower number stuff. My experiences have generally been very positive.
