YouTube’s Bizarre Comment C̶e̶n̶s̶o̶r̶s̶h̶i̶p̶ Problem 

Since reddit fiasco I've started looking for independent communities again. I wish someone would make a curated list, sorted/grouped by interest.

I am the top reporter of this You are way behind but i am glad you noticed.. its been doing this since 2011.. literally

​@@pluto7562 No.. its one side of politics.. and i am third party proving it for ten years here

Eli Pariser proved how this all worked in 2011... yes that long ago, on a stage of Ted talk... literally undeniable bias

definitely for me as a third party techy.. noticed it and check my replies literally daily...with two browsers since 2012 here... not exaggerating at all, its old news

There is Daily Motion and BitChute.

Same

whenever i comment something without any swear word, it mostly disappears.

Tasteful comments such as compliments or video suggestions get deleted. Pretty stupid

It's actually much worse for me ― it shows me the comment, even after days, maybe forever it will ― but when I go to the same video with a different account - I don't see the comment. So they are trying to fool me (and probably others). This is Evil!

I'm so tired of this shit man

I just lost a comment with so many likes because of this bs 🤦🏽‍♂🤦🏽‍♂ we cannot let this slide, how do we revolt??

Same and they even use bad words and are disrespectful and you can't reply even with respectful comments

Seriously though, I get the impression that the staff at RU-vid HQ aren't aware of how bad this has become.

That's why I use ad blockers. Also, people need to mail them a bunch of letters expressing their burning frustration with the censorship to their headquarter and don't hold back any insults. Also leave them a scathing feedback on their help and feedback section and be sure to do it everyday. These people who own RU-vid will eventually get the memo when we all shift our anger towards them.

@@VSES-99293 I honestly think RU-vid is deliberately trying to get its own members to quit and go elsewhere.

My wife said if she posts a comment that gets deleted later as a reply randomly to some other comment, it does not get deleted. I cannot confirm if this works. I am SO sick of this platform deleting my comments. I will write a thoughtful, informative two paragraph, and hit comment. I have learned to copy the comment and paste it into notepad to save locally. I refresh the vid my comment is on, and poof it is gone. I am really angry when I have not saved it, but mostly it does not matter because trying to post multiple time over multiple days, changing the wording, or even simplifying it to two words, it STILL get deleted. HUGE shadow censorship. OK, I am copying and pasting this comment to see if it gets deleted; if it does, I will just try again with comment deleted.

@@BrilliantDesignOnline There's different levels of shadowbanning comments. Most of the time you can find a copy of your comments under your history. But sometimes your comment will be suuuuch a crime against humanity that YT even removes it from your history.

@@BrilliantDesignOnline Well my last post is being hidden but you will see this in your notifications. Sometimes I think YT just puts you in a timeout and hides everything no matter how you word it. Like is happening to me right now.

They know their ideas and beliefs don't hold up in a debate, so they put tape over their opponents mouths. It's their way of "winning".

In my case its nothing to do with anything harmful. Sometimes it wont even show in harmless comments and replies about animals. No use of restricted words or anything. This is so annoying.

Same here @Eden-nd7rg. A lot of my comments disappear and I don't understand why. I'm always civil and I don't use foul language. I even had a comment about decluttering removed. It's extremely frustrating.

Maybe they are combating the internet brigades of other hostile countries or something. In the past these internet armies and bots misused the dislike button to influence public opinion on certain politicians and national topics, and also spam tons of false information to change the perceptions of common people, or influence the elections, etc.

I've had to write stuff in bio because of how bad it is

RU-vid literally allows my trolls to post death threats and stalking threats towards me, but I'll get censored for saying something like "Thanks I'm trying" or "Yes I agree" on another video. There's no logic or consistency to the censorship.

I love when I get threatened&bullied on this platform but I can't even respond back. Thank you youtube for your awesome fucking work!!!!!!!

😮

I leave comments like "that's interesting, thanks for posting" and they get deleted. Like wtf?

Agree - I was thinking, if there could be a "mirror RU-vid" where discussions could be hosted with a searchable URL link to the RU-vid video. The video would *not* be embedded on the new site, but you'd be able to watch a video on RU-vid, then copy the url address, paste it on to the search engine at the mirror site and look for comment threads relating to the same video. That way we would be able to openly discuss stuff that RU-vid doesn't allow you to talk about freely.

@@VSES-99293 To YT? --no use. Those mails would just land in their "spam folder" thanks to automatic filters.

millions.. for sure. and the sad part is they think they are smart for having been twisted one way

What about how you've probably become accustomed to self-censoring or even had your language skills warped to say things like "unalive", possibly even in REAL LIFE when talking to actual people‽ 🤦

@@I.____.....__...__ I have no issues admitting I've self-censored. It's clearly not preferable but that's in no way shameful, considering the powers that would be wielded against you otherwise. But I've never said "unalive" and I have no idea where you got that from.

@@cameronmoore136you haven’t seen vids where people say “somebody deleted a man for…” or “..made them unalive”? It’s pretty common in my vids. Some say pretty much whatever they want, but maybe those people don’t need the ad revenue and get demonetized and survive on live read ads.

Yep this is why more and more people are moving to different platforms that promote free speech. Cant even have a normal conversation in the comments anymore without it randomly being deleted for no reason

That's a bit of a stretch. Just try being a nicer person. Maybe someone will listen and you won't get banned. Worth a try.

@@Yosetime If ignorance is bliss you must be damn near close to enlightened. This is a well known issue and a few minutes on Google would show you the type of stuff they auto delete from comments (here is a hint - you don't have to be mean or wrong to have your comment deleted, you simply have to say things that go against the app-r-oved na-rr-atives to pa-r-rot).

@@Yosetime Yea, no. Has nothing to do with being nice. Has nothing to do with being factual. If it's something that the overlords at RU-vid disagree with, it's getting deleted. And it's often just protecting leftwing narratives. Remember when B1den got caught on hot mic thr3-atening a certain state with eff-fyfteeyns? Well, they immediately made all keywords that relate to that incident get your comments auto delted. (Yes, words are typed funny so this comment doesn't fall victim to their usual auto-d-e-lytion.

My suspicion is they try gather power, it's easier to control mass people if everybody is cyberbullying etc If way too many people offer sane/ logic approach, its educate those that need educate and the more educate someone The more hard it's to control them Start of tyranny/ totalitarian authority is by witholding truth and let lies spread like fire Example, china They dont let people use Google and the picture of tianmen protest where civilian facing military tank get change to facing giant rubber duck Totalitarian is coming i think and the one they attack first is the one that say the truth Censorship have good aspect but it also good for control mass people

@@TonyEnglandUK same here I get them all the time telling me their gonna delete my account some times I can’t comment for 24 hours lol what a woke joke

RU-vid is looking for a reason to ban people who have expressed a religious or political comment that the owners don't approve of. But because having such an opinion isn't a valid reason to delete your account, it is pretending you have posted a comment that breaches their privacy policy. They're taking any comment you've posted, regardless of how innocent that comment was, shadowbanning it, then they can fake that it was a really bad comment so they can really delete the comment and delete you entirely.

@@IraPettit-wi2vf Facts

@@kaelthunderhoof5619 Oh yeah, I've had that happen several times. This policy causes all sorts of problems. Sometimes your response to someone disappears, but you keep getting notifications from people on that thread.

Everyone needs to leave a scathing vile feedback to RU-vid's help and feedback section to get their attention. Let every angry thought out that RU-vid has censored and suppress onto the workers on this platform. That's one way of getting their attention. Also mail them letters expressing your burning frustration with the censorship to their headquarter and don't hold back any insults.

There is a word "нахохлиться" in Russian, which means "ruffle up" (like a bird, you know, when it's cold), but it's frequently being banned here and there not to hurt Ukranian soul as it can be treated as a cognate word to 'хохол' word, which has recently started to be treated as offensive and wicked by young Ukranians. Meanwhile, the latter has never been evil, but more like a friendly and warm, with a touch of a hint of some national character eccentricity. FYI, every word related to USSR is being banned by Ubisoft, for instance. Strange Orwell times. *Totaliberalism* Battle for minds.

@@purple_chic1760 It's not even what you say anymore. I just made a comment saying _"That was fantastic!"_ and a popup appeared saying it had been removed for _"hate speech"._ It's not what you say, it's people that the owners of RU-vid politically or religiously don't approve of.

Exactly right, that's why restricting speech under the geyso. Hate speech is a bad idea because they cannot even tell you The definition of hate speech . I think we can all agree they're absolutely hateful speech. You know what when you see it. But the problem is once you start down. That road simply disagreed with somebody. It's considered hate speech So whoever holds the power can decide what they want posted and what they will restrict. And that is exactly what has happened in our culture today. Simply stating actual objective facts sometimes is considered hate speech . It's a bad idea Maybe we should tell them if they hate hate speech. Is that not hate speech itself? Because you hate something . That's obviously a joke i'm just making a point

@@jamieshannon9019 You summed up the problem very well. Once you start down the road of censoring hate speech, the goal posts keep moving. Uncomfortable truths are considered "Hate Speech". Politically incorrect statements are "Hate Speech". The end result is authoritarianism.

I think to RU-vid any free speech is hate speech.

A friend of mine gave me food for thought when he was explaining it in his usual way - by blaming aliens (bear with me here, it'll make sense). He has this thing; literally just for a laugh he'll find find way to blame aliens for anything. Sometimes it's just silly, others it's more elaborate - but always hilarious. As I say; he's not serious (one of his best was why ostriches don't fly). Anyway, he explained "hate speech" as something like this: the aliens are in control of all social media, but they're not too hot on language. They see "hate speech" as the two separate words, and not as a phrase. So, as we know hate speech as a phrase, the aliens (who control RU-vid) see it as hate, speech. So because they think that us humans hate speech, they restrict speech in general. It's actually funnier when you're drunk/stoned.

I get notification for comments I replied on but when I go back my reply isn't posted. It's odd to me that YT recognized that I did reply to a comment but doesn't show my reply. And often when I comment I will see there are zero like so I switch profiles and check and although it's still in the original profile, it doesn't show up when I look for it in my other one so no one is seeing my comment. This has been a big problem for a long time.

I did too for supposed “spam”. I never post links or spam. That’s why I use ad blockers on RU-vid screw them

Anything related to is_ra_el most of the time gets deleted

totally!!! I guess the former RU-vid CEO Susan Wojcicki got her karma already.

I have just pretty much thrown my hands up in the air. What else can be done? My most recent comment, I re-edited it a few times to add/change stuff, but even before that I could not see it when logged out (Whenever this happens to any of my comments, even all the said comments that this happened to being looked at from one of my parents laptops when I visit them, just, not showing up) it is the same garbage... Said comment, I deleted and reposted plenty of times as I tried changing certain symbols or just anything that might have otherwise set off a shadowban, but nothing changed (Haven't check this one it at my parents place, but why bother... It is the same with every comment that does not show). It should be illegal to do this stuff without notifying users and giving them all the reasons for it and what they can do to lift the ban instead of just leaving us in the dark. You have comments encouraging people to off themselves and that bully others, even with full on course words that are very popular and have been up for years, yet nothing is done with them... Hee is the thing (This comment is one of the exceptions to what I am about to say), over 90% of the comments that get banned are ones where i defend mens rights and stand up to bullying and try to help those being effected by it (Oh, and did I mention that almost all of those comments get full on deleted as well - Not even showing up in my comments history).

RU-vid likes to accuse commentators of "hate speech", but refuses to specify which comment fell foul of the rules.

I just got hit with a cyber bully comment violation when I was talking about wrinkles and brain.

​@@avalonjustinShort an curlys?

I remember changing one word from a political comment I made long ago, and just as I edited it to include something that they did not agree with politically, all of the comments plus the add ons instantly got removed.

I have already moved hours of my daily watching to an 'alternate' platform. Next will be cancelling yt prime and then disengaging from yt altogether. Enough is enough. In America, we HONOR free speech and PROTECT those we disagree with!

​@@davidb2206 why do you have RU-vid premium in the first place

It absolutely is. They run an algorithm which monitors everything posted. If your comment is flagged for whatever reason it is either hidden, deleted, or flagged for review and then subsequently deleted or hidden.

@Keys879 Also, sometimes, when I write comments on subjects that I feel strongly about with colorful language, etc., then I enter, and they don't even show up. For $25.00 a month, you would think I'd be able to express freedom of speech.

@@Keys879I don’t even think comments get flagged most of the time anymore. When I made this account in early 2007, anything could go without mass censorship. Times have changed. Now I regularly get the message ‘this operation couldn’t be completed’ when I edit comments, which means it has already been deleted.

​@@KratostheThird Still better. Under some videos I leave comment and I see it after page refresh. But if I log out there is no comment on the page. I log in - and I see my comment again. Basically only I can see my comment.

@@LyubomirIko Same. Mine don't show up when I go to private window. So now we're at the point where nobody can see our comments. That's why we don't get comment notifications nearly as much anymore.

Yessir

Was it something about putting stuff in orifices that are designed to be exit only?

Thats exactly what they want

F authoritarianism

I just got a notification saying one of my comments was deleted for hate speech. I'm almost certain it was the one that said women are weaker than men biologically. If RU-vid is removing these comments that aren't supposed to be controversial, then idk what in the world RU-vid moderation is.

@@Fleetstreetbestone They own the platform and want to completely control us. Evil company.

They just deleted my reply to you, jeez

@@JKBDTS did YT tell you that? I never get any feedback why my stuff gets taken down.

@@Dancerlayla-z6g I just look at when my comment didn't disappear and when it did.

@@JKBDTS i guess i just get fed up too fast and i do something else. I should try it, if not too PO 'd and write something far worse.

I am SO sick of this platform deleting my comments. I will write a thoughtful, informative two paragraph, and hit comment. I have learned to copy the comment and paste it into notepad to save locally. I refresh the vid my comment is on, and poof it is gone. I am really angry when I have not saved it, but mostly it does not matter because trying to post multiple time over multiple days, changing the wording, or even simplifying it to two words, it STILL get deleted. HUGE shadow censorship. OK, I am copying and pasting this comment to see if it gets deleted; if it does, I will just try again with comment deleted.

@@BrilliantDesignOnline it is absolutely infuriating. And not one of my comments were even close to hate speech or any other TOS violation. Many times it’s like “that cop was trash” or something just simple. And like I said I’ll test it out and take both sides of an issue and get deleted no matter what. I’m being personally targeted.

@@BrilliantDesignOnline ​It’s good to know I’m not the only one I have a brother in arms. I do the same, like saving it to my Google Keep and such, or changing my comment and trying multiple times. Plus, I always strive to be polite, positive, respectful, and logical. If I am angry or don’t have anything good to say, or if what I say is not going to contribute any good to humanity, I refrain from commenting. Not for the algorithm, but because it’s how I was raised. Like the saying goes, ‘If you don’t have anything good to say, don’t say it,’ So I choose not to comment. But even after all that , RU-vid doesn’t seem to like us much. 🥹 And I’ll save this and see what RU-vid does.🤣

@@ridwanosman5644 Saving to Google Keep is a good idea.

​@@BrilliantDesignOnlinePlease tell me how you copy & paste YT comments. I used to use a clipboard app but it's no longer functional.

Everyday mail them a bunch of letters expressing your burning frustration with the censorship to their headquarter and don't hold back any insults. Also leave them a scathing feedback on their help and feedback section and be sure to do it everyday. These people who own RU-vid are getting away with this because people are not directing their anger to the correct people.

@@VSES-99293 thanks for the tip 👍 the censorships or filtering of comments are really frustrating

Me too.. it seems the more thought inducing and well written, the higher the likelihood of getting removed.

SimpIe. They *IiteraIIy* don’t want us to be happy in generaI. No exaggeration; l seriousIy cannot think of *any* other reason than that

@@voiceofreason2691 I think you're right. I've had 2 warnings recently about "hateful" comments but RU-vid never shows me the comment that they deem as hate speech... And I'm pretty careful about what I say on here. Weird.

It is common under movie trailers when people make fun of them.

​@@thaistompyup, I've been warned and even banned for 24h multiple times for "harassment" but yet, none of my comments have been. I'm always talking about games, Computers and hardware (retro and modern), radios, shortwave, Mediumwave, Ham Radio, tech in general nothing political (I can't stand politics, nothing religious, nothing hate speech, not being harassing in any way) and my comment goes poof, or eventually I get warned for harassment and banned for absolutely no reason.

@@thaistomp I'm pretty sure I got worned for tocking dee rice ivly to an admitted Furby without the b who was sharing their semmed-up thoughts in a Disney movie clip. It's seriously disappointing that those types are allowed to post secsl content with impunity.

Happens to me a lot. But it’s almost always when I’m replying to a comment.

No room for intellectual discuourse. Only dumbest of the dumb cameraman jokes allowed

@@rtxagent6303same here or when I write a comment. I have to refresh 2 billion times until is finally shows up 🤦‍♀️

I've done this so many times, posting and reposting and checking an hour or more later to be sure the comment is still there - it will be gone in 12 to 24 hours. The weird thing is - my comments will be deleted, but they will send me notifications about replies in the comment thread I had initially posted. I'm finally done. All I can do now is watch videos and move on. On the flip side, at least it will save me from the energy drain of interacting with trolls and random rude disrespectful people, so there's that. Silver linings everywhere.

Couldn't agree more

What channel? I kind of want to check if my account liked it too.

​@@bennyskimThere's way more behind all this than that. Google/RU-vid programmers are some of the best out there. I'm a very average programmer and even I could've fixed that in minutes. I think this is all Ludditism, hacking relbellion from the coders against the political direction RU-vid is being forced into.

Remember, RU-vid is bigger than just RU-vid. It wouldn't surprise me they're playing around with what they can get away with.

I've had that recently. I can't recall what channel it was, but it's one i've never watched one video from,so i'm not subscribed to it, but there it was, a 'thumbs up'.

@@scottw.3258 I've even started seeing "tailored advertising" everywhere I go on the web - advertising which is selling me products from the video I magically thumbed-up

Literally just saw this,as soon as I got on here, myself. I'm like..ok... So... what was the comment? How do I find it? Is there a way to correct it? What was it even on? But there's nothing I can find, to see what it was!

You're lucky you even get notified. I put 10 minutes into a thought-out comment and don't even know it got deleted unless I refresh the page and check for myself.

@@fraizie6815 I come across comments I made weeks or months ago. Zero likes or replies. I copy the video link, sign out of YT, goto that video and the comment I left that got no like or replies in all that time isn't there anymore when I'm not signed in under my own acct. Cute.

Same! Except, I never got a link to my deleted comment. I believe the comment was the one where I said women are weaker than men biologically. The stupid RU-vid "hate speech" pop up makes no sense, how is it hate speech?

​@@michellehuffman2025it's a disgusting company and if there was somewhere else to go I would but this seems to be the only place for a lot of the content that I want to watch

Oppression of info at it's BEST.

ABOUT MY COMMENT: i simply told the girl that i thought that she was SUPER BEAUTIFUL or something similar to THAT ... and then ... i got BUSTED by RU-vid inc.

just threatened to ban my channel for comment saying woman and children don't deserve to be murdered by terrorists, but they shadow banned my videos long before I ever left any comments

R. And the bit -- first word -- with the chute as last word, which has that censored Europa movie, about 8 hours and excellent. I don't agree with all of it, 100%, but it is a shocking movie of truth about WWII.

Mail them letters expressing your burning frustration with the censorship to their headquarter and don't hold back any insults. Everyone need to leave them hate Mail! They need to get flooded with a bunch of hate mail and maybe they'll start backing off on the censorship

@@VSES-99293 Communists and marxists will just laugh at you and ignore you about their censorship. It's an old tactic. "Silence all dissent." Still used in China and Russia today. North Korea. Cuba. Venezuela.

​@@VSES-99293they don't care. Its only about money. Boycotting is the only way. But they litteraly have the monopole.

THey need us all to be dumbed down and divided. Guarantee most of those "racist sexist" commenters are paid youtube trolls.

Meanwhile there are people who use profanity, and actually say some offensive hateful things and they get to stay posted... This app pick and choose who they want to censor/remove.

@@TiaMLE-jc5zk that’s exactly what pisses me off. How can I be in the same comment section with someone where my “hey sorry friend my comment got deleted mb” gets automatically hidden to everyone except me but the most bigoted insults gets left for everyone to see.

@@TiaMLE-jc5zk Exactly! I post regular comments that disappear for whatever reason, meanwhile, I see blatantly racist comments all the time. I even try reporting them but they aren't removed. Something is definitely not right with these tech corporations.

@@cheese9466 I've seen lots of racist comments here on RU-vid and none of them never gets deleted + in facts it's all over on all social media platforms which is very ridiculous

People need mail multiple letters to this platform's headquarters and leave scathing feedbacks everyday on their help and feedback section on this app. They'll eventually get the memo if more people started doing it. I'm leaving vile remarks on their feedback section everyday and it feels good. Now I'm about to write letters a couple times a week to their headquarters. More people need to join in.

impressive that this got through! maybe they manually approved it tho 😁

There are some people who may respond with mean words and abuse laughing emojis to humiliate you but their comments don't get deleted, but if you retaliate against them, your comments will be lost.

​​@@ToxicStranger123 it's incredibly frustrating and dumb lol. I'm trying to have real conversations and connect to people share ideas and youtube is like "yea no, none of that"

@@ToxicStranger123 Yes... ad hominem attacks are everywhere, yet if you comment that they commit illogical fallacy (for example) they delete your comment and not their attack. It doesn't make logical sense.

happens to me often when defending socialism

You must have said something "problematic" 😂😂😂😂 it's so dumb.

How do I refresh? If I can see my comment does that mean everyone can see it? It seems like on one specific RU-vid channel, my comments aren’t getting likes anymore but my comments are still in the ‘top comments.’ Can a RU-vidr turn off likes from specific comments?

@@eeeeksI see your comment

@@eeeeks Press the F5 key. 👉⌨

@@a1phamalestud Yes, and I can also see yours... OK, we're good!

You can see most hidden comments when sorting by newest replies.

this is the biggest problem in all that. No reference to specific guidelines, no reference to specific rulesets. Your comments just disappear. It will only take some time until enough people realize how nonsensical and counterproductive this is

There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason behind why they hide the comments. I just tried to type 20 perfectly reasonable comments on a funny video - zilch. All of them got hidden. I come on here and now YT is allowing me to post anything I like.

Refresh until 20 seconds. If it's there in 20 seconds, it'll stay. Sometimes you gotta be creative. Like this. !elgooG kcuF

I posted a comment in an argument about the american president who was a reality tv host and has blond hair involving his name and i still saw it but the people who i was arguing with weren’t able to see it

​@@elbarto4069 I think he's better than a dimentia riddled joke of a president that's actively allowing the US to be invaded, but I think it's funny how a majority of people will never know these politicians more than their actual neighbors because they have a Rep team that gets paid good money to make them look good, not to mention they will only ever see them through a screen at MOST, yet they will pledge all of their trust in them.

Been having this issue since yesterday. My perfectly innocuous comments are being made invisible to other users, and even myself when not filtering a highlighted comment. Edit: but this one manages to stick the landing, I don't get it.

@@iwillnotcomplyistandformyf6642 this certainly isnt hate speech, but it can certainly be used with bad intentions. i see why the algorithm may have been confused, but unless your comment was using the strength fact to justify that women are subordinate in some way and/or saying that women were also less intelligent, it should not had been deleted.
