5-Danny Town

The Youtube feature that I would drop would be the "Newest Comment/Top Comment Feature". I would still keep the "Top Comment Feature" but just leave it set at this query and take out the newest comment query. The reason why I would drop it is because of the "60-Second Deadline" term in which the book touches base upon. It is not essential to users because if they really want to see the newest comment, they are able to load all the comments and scroll to the bottom. It relates to the "60-Second Deadline" due to how the highest rated comments are the most important comments because of the vast majority agreeing on the comment. I also believe users do not care as much about comments as they do videos, therefore the "60 Second Deadline" applies because we want the most important information quickly. Also lets be honest, not many use Youtube to read critiques by amateurs. Overall, taking out this feature would decrease clutter/page length and also make the page load quicker. This not only applies to the "60-Second Deadline" but also the "Aim Low" guideline as well.
