YouTube deletes comments
I encountered a branch covidian on YouTube last night, and started to (respectfully) discuss covid information related to vaccines. Suddenly, no more responses were coming. I refreshed the page, and my comment was gone. I wrote it again, similarly, citing the same information, hit post, and after it was posted, refreshed the comments. Gone again. Just to verify, I wrote a comment with no stats in it just to test if that’s what was getting them blocked, and that comment stayed there after refreshing multiple times. What the fuck. Numbers will get your comments deleted by the bots now? Fuck youtube.

Did the comments that got deleted have links in them? A lot of bots post links or fake whatsapp numbers in the replies of many comments could be anti spam. Although I’m not going to think Youtube isn’t biased but it’s always best to assume ignorance before malice in terms of intent.

No links, and I went out of my way to avoid negative language, because I know YouTube will auto delete comments with too much negative or critical language in them. I’m confident that certain numbers or percentages in a comment with words like vaccines and infected fatality rate are what caused it. Typically I agree that malice should be the last conclusion to reach, but I have little else to blame for this. A quick search showed that I’m not the first to encounter things like this, although nobody else is saying their post included statistics on covid.

I’m not surprised youtube has a policy to delete all information on covid that conflicts with WHO. Nick Rekieta made a video where he agreed with Biden that covid doesn’t affect kids that bad and youtube deleted since it conflicted with what the WHO was saying at the time.
