    Pipedbot: hate it. Piped has never once worked for me and the bot’s formatted comments are massive. If you prefer an alternative YouTube frontend, it should be on you to open it using the canonical link you’re given IMO. I blocked this bot months ago.

    TLDR bot: I didn’t like it back when it didn’t use spoiler tags since its comments were enormous. Now I don’t mind as long as it makes them collapsible by default.

    Other bots: it depends on what they do and how obtrusively they do it
