Comments can be a good barometer of how your website’s “connection” with its readers are – and when you have invested plenty of time in a particular piece, it can get heartwarming to read a word of encouragement on the job that you have done. Not only that, there are some comments that would help us get back on the right path, so to speak, if we have veered away or performed way too many mistakes for a grammar Nazi to read past by without responding. Felix Kjellberg, who is better known as PewDiePie, happens to be one of the most popular YouTube personalities around with over 30 million subscribers, has decided to turn off comments on his channel, and this decision is final.

That is right – it is non-negotiable. Kjellberg shared, “I go to the comments and it’s mostly spam, and people self-advertising, it’s people who are trying to provoke, and people replying to all these, just all this stuff to me, it doesn’t mean anything. I don’t care about it. I don’t want to see it. I just don’t care.”

It seems that the quality of comments has been bothering Kjellberg for quite some time already, and he is finally sick of it, so turning off the comments for good seems like a good solution, although he did mention that he is still interested in interacting with his viewers. Twitter and Reddit look set to be the next platform which he will jump aboard for such interaction. What do you think of his decision?
