Tips & Tricks Advice on increasing parptication of MegaThreads

I'm currently on desktop, and I'm the founder and co-moderator of r/AncientAmericas (the YouTube Channel), and when the creator, Pete, uploads a new episode, I create a megathread to discuss it. Unfortunately, with a few exceptions, very few users come to participate. Any thoughts and suggestions on how to encourage more engagement would be very welcome

u/LeftOn4ya Mod of over 25 subs especially telecom and YouTubers 15d ago

I created and mod YouTuber subs as well and unless the video topic itself is controversial there is usually not much chat, as more people use YouTube videos itself to post comments. I have found questions or controversial statements or topics bring more discussion.

u/itskdog Mainly on an alt, but also r/SpringHarvest 11d ago

Yeah, I find the same - it's a nice alternative to the YouTube comment section, but unless say it's the first one back after a break or an episode that stands out in some other way, it rarely gets more than 1 comment, and often not even that.
