Do youtube comments indicate the average intelligence level?

The comments might indicate the majority intelligence level, or possibly a little higher than average, considering that these are people who have computers and who are accustomed to reading and writing.

On the other hand, the general dullness of youtube comments might be a founder effect-- if enough low content comments get posted, then people who want to say something more substantive will go somewhere else.

Or maybe it's something about short video clips....
