Tech is best.

Amen. As much as we hate "the algorithm" on YouTube, a technical solution is typically best.

Your example of the downvote illustrates it, which even I was kind of surprised saidit would do: It's not that you need to hide away stupid comments, they simply get no traction. There is no need for censorship. People simply ignore them or provide counter arguments.

Thanks but I am going to disagree and say there is a place for censorship but it MUST be optional. There is certain types of speech that are really only disruptive like, spam, trolling, and some low effort posts. Users though should be the ones with ultimate control on what is censored and ONLY for them. No one should be made dictator over what you may or may not see and read except YOU! The choice on how you experience a platform should be yours.
