Changes after google took over youtube

hm...after google took over youtube there have been some changes...

recently the youtube interface was upgraded...what i particularly liked was the improved comment system. in the past, to view comments that were left out on a video's main page, you had to click on "show all comments", now, you can navigate within the comments...

haha...ya...i'm a comment whore...i like to read comments on youtube and other video sites, on digg.com, on slashdot, engadget and other blogs and websites...it simply is interesting because some are humourous...and to read about different people's perspective on something allows you broaden your mind and gain new insight...

but of late i've been receiving youtube message spam...i think google's take over have raised the site's profile among spammers...i'm wondering how to counter this...
