Good changes:
Bad changes:
I don't think it's all bad, but the bad definitely outweighs the good. The last point in particular really amazes me.
- Higher character limit (although it's currently way too high, maybe infinite?)
- Allows posting of links
- Threaded conversations is a good idea
- I think you can edit your comments? Not sure, I haven't commented with the new system yet
Bad changes:
- You need to comment using your Google+ account (although you can make Google+ "page" if you don't want to use your actual name)
- Threaded conversations only work with comments posted on Google+
- I think you can only reply to, thumb up/down, mute, and report abuse on comments that were posted with the new system
- No top comments
- Comments are ordered by "importance" or whatever by default, you need to specify to order chronologically every time
- When you click to see the comment a comment is replying to, it opens in a whole new tab, which is identical to the last one (video and all), and simply puts the comment that was replied to at the top
