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. --- End quote --- Yep. 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: --- End quote --- Some comments, post but are hidden. Quite often it appears you've managed to post, but it never got through. It's obvious because it disappears if you refresh the page and trying to edit it gives an error, when you try to save the changes. If I have a lot to say, I post several short comments, rather than a long one and I make a backup of each, so I the whole lot doesn't go. I believe the AI is trained by human moderators. It looks for patterns in the comments deleted by a human and automatically removes similar posts. Substituting Latin letters for homoglyphs used to easily trick the AI, but many of those comments were manually removed by a moderator, so it quickly learned it. I remember getting away with posting Νіggеr Ыасᴋ сооnѕ gаѕ јеѡѕ in response to a video discussing censorship which wasn't removed and got lots of likes. --- Quote from: tszaboo on May 27, 2022, 06:32:38 pm --- --- Quote from: Zero999 on May 27, 2022, 08:25:19 am ---I don't know why comments get removed, or by whom.

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: " --- End quote --- What really pisses me off is some blatant porn spam manages to get through, yet many of my seemingly inoffensive comments get blocked. It's really frustrating. |
