   I'm not sure if I'm supposed to post this here, but I love to watch shows such as 'My cat from <basement>' or 'It's me or the dog' because I really enjoy seeing animal trainers/behaviorists teach people who need help about how to properly care for their pets and I learn something new too. And I also enjoy watching a lot of other youtubers as they have some good advice.

   However, I have one problem: The comment section. A lot of people there don't pay to watch the full episode and judge based on a clip, and their comment doesn't paint the full picture. I love hearing from other people, but a lot of these comments are mean and from people who didn't step into the person's shoes and just judged harshly based on a tiny clip.

   I find this annoying because the rude commenters only saw a clip of the full episode and never experienced the pain or frustration that the people looking for help did. I sometimes do it too, but I keep it to myself instead of commenting. A lot of people on comment sections also comment before they read the description or the pinned comment. For instance, one youtuber I watched uploaded a video of his bird emptying his crop. To many people, it seemed like it was a tumor and the bird needed to go to the vet, but if you read the description bar and researched a bit, you'll find that the budgie was simply emptying his crop and that the budgie was fine.

    I'm not sure if I'm just overreacting, but I dislike how people would comment before seeing the full picture because that often leads to misunderstanding. Is it just me or am I overreacting over nothing?

Oh you're definitely not alone. Like you'd think they would delete the comment after finishing the video, or getting a reply from people, but they just seem to disappear after posting it?

And also, when like 10 people say the same exact thing in the replies as well, that bugs me often too, like the comment and first reply might be over a year old already, but then someone a week ago is yelling about the same exact thing that's already been basically resolved lol, it's not hard to click the 'see replies button'. agh. so annoying,. lol.
