Get reactions and feedback on your videos.
Viewer comments are like notes people leave after watching a video. They tell what they think or feel about the video. Some comments are nice, saying they liked the video. Some are not so nice, saying what they didn't like. People can also ask questions or give ideas there.
Viewer comments are important because they help video makers know what people think, and also get their questions, feedback, etc. They also make viewers feel part of a community and can make videos more popular by getting people talking.

The percentage of people who comment on videos really depends on where the video is posted and the kind of video it is. Generally, only a small number of viewers leave comments. For most videos on platforms like YouTube, it's estimated that less than 1% of viewers comment. This means that if a video has 1,000 views, maybe less than 10 people will leave a comment. This number can be higher or lower based on how much the video makes people want to talk or if the video asks viewers to leave comments.
When you want to comment on a video, think about what you liked or didn't like, and say that. You can also ask a question if something made you curious or you want to know more. If the video made you laugh or think, you can share that feeling. It's nice to be kind and positive in your comments. If you didn't like the video, it's okay to say so, but try to say it in a way that's helpful and not mean. For example, you could say, "I really liked how you explained this part, it made it easy to understand," or "I was hoping to learn more about this topic, could you cover that in a future video?"
Video comments let viewers share their thoughts and feelings about the video. They also help the person who made the video understand if people liked it, learn from any questions or suggestions, and see what parts were the most interesting or could be improved. Comments can make viewers feel more connected to the video creator and to each other, especially when they have conversations or share their own experiences related to the video's topic.
