How Will YouTube Notes Work?
YouTube is improving its system to show notes more accurately. If many people who previously disagreed on a note now agree it is helpful, YouTube is more likely to show it. YouTube will ask viewers to rate notes as "helpful," "somewhat helpful" or "unhelpful" and explain why. The feedback will help YouTube's algorithm decide if a note is generally helpful. Initially, a limited number of people can write notes and third-party evaluators will rate their helpfulness. YouTube will use this feedback to train its note evaluation system over time.
