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 think Google and Youtube are straight fucking buttcheeks. That's all there is to it. I also hope that an alternative will arrive.
If you're not aware YouTube has heavy comment filters which use NLP in a heavy handed way to remove "negative" comments.
YouTube comments are genuinely worth nothing anymore because they're cherry picked by software
Also the creator can remove the comments he wants.
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.
YouTubers can block specific words from comments.
Everyone here started to blame YouTube for this, ignoring that you said it was only on one video. Just because YouTube is getting shitty doesn't mean that we should change the facts.
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.
