YouTube is rolling out its new comment section feature to more users, despite many voicing their frustrations with it.

Comments hyperlinked to YouTube are becoming more common in video comment sections, serving as a somewhat spammy method to direct users to additional information about certain topics or interests.

Although it was launched as a limited experiment in 2023, these hyperlinked comments are now seen more frequently on the platform, as noted 9to5Google.

When someone posts a comment that relates to various topics or information on YouTube, you’ll notice a blue hyperlink with a small glasses icon. This indicates that the word or phrase is clickable.

YouTube says that hyperlinked comments help “reduce friction” in learning about a topic or content. When you click on a hyperlink, a search starts that directs you to a new page, while the mini-player allows you to continue watching. But as a commenter, you can’t add or change links.
