Can't comment in youtube without Email verification, authorization?

Why oh why do they do it this way? Or am I missing something? Are you telling me everytime some joe or mary makes a comment they have to open an email and click on a link for it to be posted? Sometimes that is more clicks than words. I have so much insight to offer the people of YOUTUBE, but I like ATS because I can just click submit, and well it's ATS.

Just SAD! I could really contribute a lot more if I was willing to open an email I NEVER use and authorize all my comments.

There must be a better way, a solution to every problem. Don't tell me every youtube comment a person goes into their email, opens it, then clicks some link... That is sadistic at worst!

ummm, i just posted a comment no problem.
were you signed into your youtube account?

I am but it apparently sends me an email that I am supposed to authorize it to post my comment. I'm glad it's just me... probably something you only have to do once. I'll go mess with it some more.
