We're moving forward. So you're saying that the owner of the channel can control this. I've been pointing out this "links in comments = auto delete" thing for a good while and that's the first time someone says that. I don't have a YT channel so not something I would know otherwise. Thanks for this pointer.
So, it would be only a per-channel setting and not YT-wide? (Note that YT could still be doing it upfront without the channel owner or the users being aware, so we still don't have evidence that YT doesn't do it, at least according to its own opaque criterions.)
But if that's the only reason it happens, then we now have the reason. Interesting again that it's the first time I hear it.
Since I have had pretty much ALL of the comments I posted in the last 1-2 years auto deleted when they contained links and in this period, I've very rarely (if ever, actually) seen a single link in any YT comment whatsoever, I had assumed it was just a general YT policy and I know quite a few people who assumed the same. But it's then just possible that a majority of channel owners choose the "delete on the spot" option, just to remove a significant part of the hassle that is moderating their comments.
Whether it's just this per-channel option, or something more general, either way, it would be nice from YT to display the terms under each video so that users know what they can or cannot do (like post links) and so, avoid wasting their time and generating frustration. Like in the example of the OP.
Sredni:
Yt does do it. In addition, the channel owner has the ability to enable it on purpose.
rsjsouza:
Youtube deletes comments from known spammers (and perhaps something that goes against their political view, but I can't be sure), but the channel owner has the settings attached.

Its time to leave Youtube!
There are good alternatives out there.

This is something i observed too over a few platforms (not only video platforms). Either there are not many reactions, or those come only after a delay of days sometimes.
I wonder why ???
