Does YouTube block mentions of uBlock Origin or Sponsorblock in comments?
I was trying to give pointers to people in comments but it seems whenever I wrote uBlock Origin, "u B lock", SponsorBlock or "S p onSor Block" (without quotes) the comment would vanish within first minute.
Is this happening only to me/on this one specific video (in Czech, don't want to link because I don't agree with the points they said, though it was video about the adblock blocking of YT)?
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 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.
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.
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.
