As for usual everyone will hate the new YouTube features, then in a year or 2 when they update it again the cycle will repeat itself.

If you're serious check out some of the other video hosting sites, boycott Google.

I hate the comment section. So many loving snakees in one loving video.

Who'da thought that removing a simple character limit would unleash a wave of ASCII spam everywhere?

Actually, the old comment system had specific blocks for ASCII. I know because I'd set it off if I had too many "..." in my comment. It'd tell me specifically I can't comment ASCII.

The whole google+ system is forgeted. But who really goes there to just read the comments? Sure, it's annoying, but I go on there to watch videos, not socialize.

You sure it didn't say "text art" or something to that effect?
Because ASCII is simply a character encoding. If you're typing with the latin alphabet and its extensions, numbers, or most punctuation symbols, you're probably using ASCII.
