Anonymous Coward User ID: 4899266 New Zealand 09/22/2022 12:51 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've also long since noticed that page views and content likes are also censored so that people think most dont approve of the video when in fact tons more than shown do... We are now in a world of mass censorship! And its only going to get worse. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 68108851 Canada 09/22/2022 12:55 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was watching a comedy sketch and all but 3 of the comments have disappeared. Every few minutes the comment numbers increase, but I still see three, including mine. This has happened on eight channels that I viewed today. One says 191 comments, but a total of 20 appear, and no replies appear, even though one comment has 15 replies. Quoting: Happy in Nature Two commenters asked why they were unable to see comments, so it's not just me. Logged into Safari and Mozilla, then tried a different IP with my phone (one IP says US, other Nicaragua), but same results. They aren't political videos, nor do these channels usually get spam. Anyone else having issues with YT now? They probably don't count the new comments made to already-existing comments.. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 4899266 We are now in a world of mass censorship! And its only going to get worse. I see their manipulation of the number counts (Jimmy Dore's subscribers kept going down as he tried to get to 1 million), but every video that I have watched this evening shows the number of replies, but wont let me view the replies. This is benign stuff - comedy, otters, animals, watercolor and food channels. |

They've done something far worse and more insidious than hitting the internet kill switch, instead they're just aggressively "managing" the internet by hiding comments etc. roguetechie |
