I often comment on videos but never do I check replies to my comments there.

I went to see if I had any replies to a comment I left on a video for the first time today and it's really hidden to get back to them if you don't remember the exact video. I wonder if it's purposeful friction or just not a priority.

I agree. I wonder how people are motivated to comment if they can't even track replies or check likes. It certainly completely kills motivation for me

Do you and GP not get notifications for replies and (at least some) likes?

		In my case I have almost all notifications disabled so maybe there's an option somewhere. Generally find those notification badges too powerful for me to not check and then get waylaid doom scrolling/watching, so I've made it a habit to always disable them everywhere. Somewhat tempted to re-enable it as I only really comment on videos that are for very very niche communities and I'm usually answering or asking questions.

Oh, fair enough. That is indeed not shown anywhere it seems.

Not exactly a forum, more like a concert crowd

I tried to one time, but I couldn't even figure it out so I gave up.

how do you resist the urge to click on the red notification icon?
