Fait le job, fait ce qu'on lui demande, dommage que cette option ne soit pas directement intégré à YouTube, marre de voir les teuteu me gâcher mes vidéos, ou musiques... car ils ne font que se plaindre tout le temps.

Fantastic. YT comments is useless anyways, not only you can't have a productive conversation with randoms online, Google's censorship is really bad so half of your comments get auto-deleted anyways. Better to not even see the comments so you're not triggered to comment yourself and waste your time.
