Display Reddit Comments In YouTube Videos
It manages to pull in every subreddit that’s ever linked to the active YouTube video and sorts them as tabs. The extension is very clean & definitely improves the user experience. While Reddit is not always known for its productive comments, it’s certainly a cut above YouTube because of heavy moderation & strict clauses set for almost every subreddit. Once the extension is installed from the Chrome Web Store, the extension automatically works without the user having to do anything. Users can play around with more options by going to the extensions page & selecting Options under AlienTube for YouTube. Find the options by going to the extensions page Under the settings pages, users can experiment by adding subreddits to blacklist & filtering the quality of comments by the number of downvotes. It’s also possible to select which version of comments to load by default (Google+/Youtube vs Reddit).
Downsides
The biggest downside at the time of writing is that it doesn’t work with YouTube new material design interface which is currently in testing. Other functionality such as linking the Reddit account in the extension for upvoting and commenting could add to the experience if implemented in the future.
Conclusion
Whether you’re a Redditor or someone who is unhappy with the YouTube comments, the extension is a breath of fresh air to help you read better comments because of the organized manner in which it is presented.
