As an example, maybe you watched a beginner’s dance tutorial video on YouTube; maybe you’re a beginner, and even though the tutorial was aimed at people like you, you felt that it was still too difficult. You want to communicate to the teacher in the video that you found the dance routine difficult to learn.
If you do find a comment that says what you want to say, consider liking (clicking on the “thumbs up” icon below the comment) and/or replying to it rather than posting a new comment altogether.
Avoid comments like “Teaching style sucks! What a waste of time — learn how to teach!!!!” Try using comments like “Thank you for making this tutorial! I’m a beginner, and even though the tutorial is made for beginners, I really struggled with it. For me, I think it would have really helped to have the dance broken down into more sections, with a couple of run-throughs after each section. At the end, instead of jumping straight to the full routine with music, it would have helped me to go through it twice more slowly and without music. ”
In the dance tutorial comment example, the user has made their comment informative by offering advice on how the creator of the video could improve it. Ideally, the creator will take this advice into account for their future tutorials. For added helpfulness, the person who’s commenting could even share a link to another video of the routine that they find more helpful (if one exists).
