I was trying to give pointers to people in comments but it seems whenever I wrote uBlock Origin, “u B lock”, SponsorBlock or “S p onSor Block” (without quotes) the comment would vanish within first minute.
Is this happening only to me/on this one specific video (in Czech, don’t want to link because I don’t agree with the points they said, though it was video about the adblock blocking of YT)?
Probably. I mean I would block it if I were them lol
Would be surprised if they are not blocking those terms. Surprised pro-ad blocking videos stay up long enough to get any comments.
I don’t comment on yt at all so I haven’t tried but that’s hilarious and frustrating. Every browser I run into I install ublock. Sometimes I install it on my friends’ browsers if they let me.
They definitely block an absolute fuck ton of references. I had comments removed for simply saying the word Github.
I’ve had the word aliexpress get me a warning for “spam & scams”, and another very short comment got me a temporary ban. I have no idea why, maybe because it looked like fake engagement? I mentioned the phrase “youtube channel”. So strange.
I feel like I shouldn’t keep putting my energy onto that platform and am looking for a good peertube instance to start uploading to.
I’ve mentioned SponsorBlock and it stayed up.
there is some evidence of shadowbanning, where your comment isnt removed and you can still see it, but it is hidden from others.
Yeah.
The video author can enable a setting to analyze the comments. YouTube itself flags comments that it deems inappropriate. The author only chooses which videos to include this tweak and the level of strictness.
It is enabled by default.
Comments that may be spam, self-promotion, gibberish, and otherwise potentially inappropriate will automatically be held for review in YouTube Studio and will only be published if you approve them. If you want a higher level of protection for your channel, increasing strictness will increase the number of comments held for review.
