Youtube comments are an absolute cesspool, I hope that the incentive structure of steemit can keep such things in check.

YouTube comments are indeed a cesspool
I think the main issue is anonymity afforded on those platforms. Some folks don't have their real names associated with their accounts and it's impossible to serve court papers for a Libel/slander case to an anonymous entity. I also think this trolling is an act of cowardice, as the Troll has nothing personal invested in the exchange. A simple solution would be to delete all anonymous accounts but I think there is a reason they are not doing that.
I do enjoy the mental image of court papers being delivered to the owner of the youtube account, just hilarious!

"Good afternoon, sir. Are you the owner of the youtube account "FuZEnutSACK420"
"Ummm, nope.. never heard of it...."
"Are you sure sir? it had the profile picture of an anthropomorphic scrotum, smoking a bong, wearing a make america great again hat."
"No idea..."
The ip address is associated with an account for internet connection with your name..."

I think you need to do a Movie; half the script is done already. Now it will take days to get that mental picture out of my head. LOL.
