I went to see if I had any replies to a comment I left on a video for the first time today and it's really hidden to get back to them if you don't remember the exact video. I wonder if it's purposeful friction or just not a priority.

And now try to find the comment someone replied to

I agree. I wonder how people are motivated to comment if they can't even track replies or check likes. It certainly completely kills motivation for me
reply
Do you and GP not get notifications for replies and (at least some) likes?
reply
In my case I have almost all notifications disabled so maybe there's an option somewhere. Generally find those notification badges too powerful for me to not check and then get waylaid doom scrolling/watching, so I've made it a habit to always disable them everywhere.

Somewhat tempted to re-enable it as I only really comment on videos that are for very very niche communities and I'm usually answering or asking questions.

Oh, fair enough. That is indeed not shown anywhere it seems.

And so many comments may aswell be bots.
