Is You Tube planning to hide its Comment section?

Slashgear: YouTube may be planning to hide the comment section by default.

YouTube is testing a feature on Android that hides the comment section by default. Rather than having comments readily available by scrolling down, they’re now hidden behind a new ‘Comments’ section in the menu directly beneath the video that is currently playing.

A prompt in the app warns users that ‘comments have been moved,’ advising them to tap on the new menu section to open the comments. Scrolling down only reveals additional recommended videos; tapping ‘Comments’ pulls up the expected comment section.

It’s unclear why YouTube has decided to test this new design, which appeared for users in India.
