Summary: 
 When we watch a youtube video we look at the comments below. what interests us is that some comments are not actually associated to the context of the video. For example, some people left their comments by simply referring to the previous comments. They are influenced by other people's thoughts but not their unique perspective. Others even contain commercial promotion. Also, CMC has a great influence on those comments. For example, those comments mostly includes words, emotions...etc.
