How comments are ranked

"Top comments" are sorted by engagement — likes and replies — and recency.

Why it matters

The top comment on a viral video is seen by a huge share of viewers. Small creators use thoughtful comments on big videos to get discovered.

Write a good comment

Add value: a tip, a timestamp, a genuine insight. Don't spam links.

Push it up

Comment likes help your comment climb. Use the comment's direct link when ordering.
