I don't know why comments get removed, or by whom. Most of the time I believe it's automated, sometimes it can be manual: either the person who posted the video, or a Google moderator. YouTube has gone full woketard. It happened around 2020, around the COVID-19 panic and the BLM riots. Now is so bad, even commenting on the weather can get removed because the AI thinks you're posting misinformation about climate change. It's no longer a platform where anything can be openly discussed. I think I preferred it when people would make homophobic and racist comments to videos from said minorities. I found it to be most common on pop music videos, posted by someone other than the group. It was offensive, but I could ignore it, or post a reply calling them a homophobic, or racist twat, if I was bored or in a bad mood. |

Early last year on occasion I had some comments from different videos and I could not find out any information about the reasons given just disappears.. --- Quote from: DavidAlfa on May 26, 2022, 11:06:52 pm ---I think the dislike was a money thing, Google doesn't care about the video quality or accuracy, just wants the money! If you see 1M dislikes... Hell, I'm not seeing this!... Hurts google income. Without it, videos like "free Energy", "you won't believe", "watch until the end"... skyrocket. Google is happier now. Yes, money rules over content quality or even scams. --- End quote --- https://www.eevblog.com/forum/dodgy-technology/i-think-i-found-a-new-one/ This video still live and doing well with views: youtube.com/watch?v=9FsQZXV2uP4 22 Positive. With the Dislike browser extension that 22 positive is now -115 positive. I reported it to Youtube, the BBC for their background tine and the owner of that picture they greenscreened. Instead I found my comment removed checking back the next year and they seem to clean out the comments every now and again. |

And yes, most of the removals are automated now. It's obvious when you post something and it gets removed within 30s or so, especially when the video has already hundreds of comments, some of which look actually offensive and much worse than yours, and the owner of the channel can't possibly have moderated all that themselves in such a short time while leaving many offensive comments alone. That doesn't make sense from a human perspective. I already mentioned a while ago one almost 100% sure way of getting one's comment removed: including a link. I remember there was a discussion about this. The problem with that type of "censorship" is that you thus just can't provide a source to what you're saying, if it needs one. Or, if you wanna do this, don't include a direct link. I guess you can fool the algorithm by "obfuscating" the links in some way. Generally speaking, many people now use "obfuscating" for mentioning certain terms that are automatically banned on YT. Like splitting one word in two, slightly changing the spelling, etc. It does "work". This is what you get when automated mass surveillance is on. No doubt AI "experts" are working hard at making language recognition smarter so that it can spot this kind of obfuscation. :popcorn: |

You can also set up words that autodelete comments for your own channel. Which is kinda necessary since spambots are out of control. The new trend is that they put in their own name the contact info (like phone number) of some scammer, and write some legit looking comment. And also, when they leave a thread with 15 comments in them, with stuff like this: "contact this guy, he can recover your bitcoin" " Yes he helped me" "This is his instagram account: " |
