Youtube idea - Critiques/Feedback!

Lightsen

Animation Yey!
inspired by @Cam Kirkham 's thread about dislikes, I've thought of an idea for youtube.

giving feedback/critiques is super helpful, but I feel that those well written comments seem out of place in the comment section. now imagine this:

- A section called Feedback or Critiques, where you click on comments, there's a side button for these, and you can switch between comments and feedback.

- when a person uses this to give feedback, they are given rating stars for different main things like presentation, audio, content etc. where they can give a star rating out of 5 (and can do halves).
It gives them a place to neatly put their thoughts and feedback.

- The creator/youtuber gets the option to make these feedback sections available or not, and on which video's they would like. they can also set these to private only, where only they will see the feedback.

- This whole idea can also have it's own section in analytics. you can put the star ratings together and see where your videos have the lowest ratings and in what catagory. God bad audio? that will be evident when people review and lowly rate that section. want to see what they say? click on your 'audio feedback rating' and it will show you a list of only the part of the feedbacks' that is in the audio section. handy right?


now the problem is, the people writing the feedback's reviews, critiques, (whatever you want to call it) don't get anything out of it. I'm not sure how i could fix that, maybe people who view the section can thumbs up the feedback's they think are right and they agree with, and those will be spotlighted on the top like comments are.

if this was ever implemented it would take a ton of work on youtube's part, and though trolls will still use it to be pains, you could set it to approved only show, or private, and will get less rubbish.
This would seperate dislikes from people that just dislike for no reason, and those that want to give their reasoning without worrying about getting a ton of hate replies, and getting popped int he spam section.

It reminds me of the old days of youtube when we had ratings, but those were abused to heck because they affected your video, these are more hidden analytics things that are made to help you improve, let me know what you think? or what you would do instead?
 
That sounds like a really cool idea, and very beneficial to content creators to improve their work. I can see it as being a lot of work, both for YouTube and the people giving the feedback (as you said), but what if the YouTubers themselves set out a reward system for the people that give the most eloquent and useful feedback. So every YouTuber would be in charge of promoting the feedback system rather than YouTube (the company) itself?

yeah! maybe on the channel main page, where you have featured creators, you can have featured critics or something :)
 
This a very good idea mate! Its 100% more beneficial than the original structure in place however i doubt YouTube will work that hard to improve something that in their eyes doesn't look all too bad! Yet it would help the content creators to really improve content and see whether their dislikes were trolls or real people who have advice to give! Thanks for the mention too!

you gave me the idea for it :D
 
This is an awesome idea! I really love to see this implemented. Though, sadly, I don't think youtube would ever do something this good :/
thanks! im glad you like the idea! but yea its a bit too convoluted, and it wouldn't help youtube earn any more so probably would seem pointless to them :P
 
This sounds like a great idea! I'm always trying to figure out ways to improve my videos, so I'd definitely use a feature like that that encourages people to give feedback. Now we just have to persuade YouTube to make it...
