I think the levee's gonna break, and there'll be an upstart platform get traction against YouTube. YouTube's censorship/curatorship is eventually going to spell its doom. They can't stop everybody from building platforms with as good or better look and feel. But the companies like Bit-Chute need to build better/slicker platforms. It defies belief that there aren't superior-to-YouTube asynchronous chat clients for the comments sections.
Tom's right about the need to create a proper environment. But his MISTAKE is trying to do it all, himself. Instead, reach out to your regular commenters and train them to monetize their time online making money doing what they enjoy. Train a strong cadré of "hall monitors" who understand the essence of what you're doing. You can get pretty smart people who are THRILLED to make $20/hour doing really good work for you. Think about how much money you have. You can afford to pay a couple helpers. Lots of commenters will curate your comments for you for next to nothing, just feel really good about the extra status they have, and the power to block trolls from the comments.
Build a community with intense personal effort, but make sure that the effort is aimed at eliminating YOUR effort. The way the Thorman brothers built up Arrowheadpride.com under the sbnation.com umbrella is a case in point. I think Joel and Cris are way up the administrative ladder, now, making good money. As an individual content creator, you would just stay in your creative space, with motivated, well-paid helpers. Trouble is that most content-creators don't want to mess with managing people. Hmmm.
Maybe there's a niche for outfits that'll police your content the way you want it policed, by people who get you, for pretty low fees.
