This vlog opened and played with "Comments (0)" showing which is very common. If it had been labeled "Comments closed" or "No comments allowed", I would have "changed the channel.
Instead, I watched for a full twenty minutes, taking notes, etc. Finally, when I went to post a comment, the "Comments Closed" thing appeared. So, I feel the format was deceiving. If people want to put their sermons in a vlog, let them label them in a way that alerts the viewer that "there will be no talking back to our revealed truth."
