Comment

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?

No one’s been able to answer this very basic question.

Because you are not giving us enough info to work with.

Imagine you going to a book store and being the clerk in this scenario

Cust: I am looking for a passage of text from an obscure book. Clerk: Ok, what is the text you are looking for.
Cust: I don’t want to tell you.
Clerk: ok, what book is it from?
Cust: I can’t say.

You are being that customer right now. You need to help us help you.

Since your example isn’t accurate, I’ll modify it to make a more apt analogy.

Cust: I am looking for a passage of text from an obscure book. Clerk: Ok, what is the text you are looking for. Cust: It’s called “Ancient Unholy Incantations” Clerk: oh, why do you want that book? Why why why? Cust: I can’t say. Clerk: Tell me! Or else I can’t help. I physically can’t. It’s not that I don’t want to because I don’t believe your intentions are good and need convincing. Something would prevent me from doing so (can’t say what). Cust: Ok well it’s sort of for a lot of different purposes, like just random stuff, maybe for making my dog happy, or for helping grow my garden. Clerk: No, no, tell me more! What is it? You haven’t given me enough information. I can’t help you! Cust: Are you sure it’s not just that you don’t want to because you assume my intentions are bad? Clerk: You are alt-right!!!

I thought you said cunt, lol.

Sorry I’ve kind of given up trying to get people to believe me or help me.

There’s no reason you can’t theoretically provide a text character that allows to bypass random YouTube comments deletion, unless you don’t want to.

And like I said, it’s lots of random comments. I could say something like “Honda is the best car” and it gets deleted. Or, “Wow this guy must be taking creatine”. I’m using random examples because that’s what it is. Literally just random stuff.

Maybe you’ll empathise, maybe not. Be sure to downvote my comment though ;)

  The reason is easy. There is no text character that bypasses the non-random deletion by channel admins. If you post enough shit, they’ll put you on the banlist of their 3rd party automod bots. Every time you post anything while you are on their banlist, your comments will be automatically deleted.
  
  And guess what: many channel admins actually share their banlists. So you aren’t on only one channel’s banlist, but on many.
  
  Post less conspiracy shit, and you won’t get banned.
  
  Your Google account is worthless on Youtube now.

    And again you’re assuming I’m posting “conspiracy shit” and leaving no room for the possibility that YouTube’s comment deletion system is completely broken in some cases. There’s no reason to remove the completely normal harmless comments I’m posting. Having this much faith in technology and AI to do its job properly is really concerning more than anything tbh.

    It’s not channel specific at all. I know creators personally who have said they’re not doing anything to my comments and they have no idea why my comments get removed.
