I don't think the comments are really neccesary, but they also don't do much, if any, real harm. I voted a soft no, but don't mind if they stay.

As for the majority of youtubers that come over here... from what I've gathered/assessed they don't like that they're basically starting at square one again when they get here. Many seem to think their youtube "fame"/subscriber base will automatically carry to here and they will be raking in the SP/SBD
Even reading some of Junius's recent comments he said something about thinking steemit is dead and its just a giant ass kissing contest...
