Six weeks after announcing a plan to fix the world's worst comments, YouTube said today it has begun the release of its new Google+ commenting system. Starting this week, comments will be sorted by relevance instead of recency. The hope is that high-quality conversations will rise to the top while ad hominem attacks sink to the bottom. Video creators are also getting some new tools to moderate discussions.

To YouTube, good comments are ones that come from the video's creator, "popular personalities," and your friends on Google+. It also includes comments that generate a lot of other comments, signaling the presence of a lively debate. If you don't like the new look, you can switch comments to "newest first" to see the full firehose.

From now on, commenting on YouTube will require connecting a Google+ account. The company says that four out of five people who use comments have already connected their accounts. Among other things, the Google+ link allows YouTube visitors to start private conversations about individual videos within their circles.

The rollout starts today but will take some time before everyone has access to the new look, YouTube said.

:camby: These fukking clowns have some nerve. They neglect to tell you that the only reason "4 out of 5 ppl have their Google+ connected" is because they don't read shyt before they click, and Google has tricked these ppl into activating their bullshyt service.

Well, I have not, and will not take part in Google+, so I guess I've commented on my last YouTube video.

i just deleted my google+ because it kept trying to take over my youtube. every day that shyt kept asking me if i want to use my real name instead of the channel I've already had for years. i told the shyt no 3 zillion times. and still somehow, I end up commenting with my full name. annoying. i sent them a nastygram too

tbh I've been slowly moving back to msn/hotmail/outlook. its much more clear how to do things and keep things separate imo

Keeping my overhead low, and my understand high
lol. I find this shyt comical.

tbh, I'm looking forward to when Google finally makes everyone get on G+..then it'll make the service worth having.

shyt, I LOVE hangouts and the Auto-backup for pictures on my cell...

More ppl need to get on board, though.

Not to mention videos don't even load in full anymore... they'll load like 15% then wait for you to get close then try to load another 15% etc & if u catch up it just stops... and even scrolling back requires it to completely load again... & I have fast Internet... :pacspit:

This shyt right here. I can't stand YouTube nowadays. Ads are tolerable on my PC since I got Adblock and no script running so I never see them, but since I do my surfing on an iPad/phone, the ads before just about every video are unbearable.
