Specifically, it addresses whether the comment sections, traditionally a space for viewers to express their opinions and engage in discussions related to uploaded material, have been disabled or eliminated from YouTube Shorts.

Comment sections provide creators with immediate insights into viewer sentiment and preferences, potentially shaping future content strategies. Historically, YouTube has utilized comments as a key element of community building, fostering dialogue between creators and their audience.
