Comment on YouTube comment deletion is out of control, can't say anything anymore even when completely sensible. Is there a text format (alternate characters) that allows you to bypass detection?

  The only problem - everyone uses it. And it’s a good source of info for all sorts of things (disassembly tutorials, DIY, etc.).

    Exactly, everyone uses it. Otherwise I would 100% be using Oddysee or something like that. The problem is all the main content is on YouTube so I want to be able to comment on YouTube.

      I don’t comment on YT to be honest… or very rarely… it has to be something that if found REALLY REALLY interesting or informative to comment.

    There is more misinformation than information on Youtube

      Look at the DIY and disassembly tutorials, I can vouch that most (if not all) of them are great and don’t misinform on anything.

  Upvoted for acknowledging the madness of YouTube. It’s a broken platform and this crazy comment deletion that doesn’t even work properly and deletes completely normal comments is the worst thing they’ve done ever since its inception, tbh.

    Have you heard of the fact that it’s not Youtube who is deleting comments but that it’s the responsibility of the channel owners?

      I already addressed this here in another comment right after I posted because I know people always claim this lol (based on what I saw of Reddit threads discussing this issue). No it’s not the creators, it’s 100% YouTube bots. There’s a slight possibility it could be people working for YouTube in certain cases on popular channels but mostly it’s definitely bots. I often know the creators personally and they’ve confirmed they’re not deleting them and they don’t know why it happens.

        Google likes to tell lies like they don’t delete comments, but they do all the time.

        Then you are probably shadowbanned on Youtube directly. Can happen if you post too much shit too frequently.
