    I disagree, and maybe my tastes are niche. I’m a very amateur gunsmith and look up how-to’s on weird shit I can’t figure out. Often the answer is in the comments.

    “This guy has mostly got it, but do step B before A.”

    Or:

    “I had this issue and fixed it with $X.”

    I’d guess a lot of technical/mechanical/niche stuff works like that? I don’t look at the comments on popular stuff.

      Same. Comments are needed for pretty much everything I use Youtube for. If you’re just watching a streamer or something I guess they can go away but I’m trying to learn shit here.
