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

          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.

          Some of the ideas may be stupid though, I can agree with that 😂.

        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.

      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.

              Tell me where Google claimed that they don’t delete comments. They obviously clear spam and other shit. And they do that completely officially.

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

              Even if they’re not yet shadowbanned, they certainly will when they start using homoglyph attacks.
              Whether it’s justified or not, I can’t say because I’ve seen none of these comments, but it will absolutely confirm OP as a red flag in their system when they try to bypass it.
