They will just blame AI farms and then government will crack down on non 'authorized' companies running it.

Looks like YT has got to the point of deleting posts with 'words' in them. Even if within context of the actual video posted. 

Not that post often, nor do i leave it up long. But it is annoying. 

Didn't realize you could do this, but i turned off my view history so it no longer suggests crap.

But, it also logged out my TV and to get back in it gives you a QR code to some 3rd party place to register and login.. no thanks.    *delete*  ill get videos for my cats elsewhere.   commercials were getting unbearable, and cats lose interest and walk away before they ended

And on that TV box, i'm stuck with the app, as have yet to get a browser to install, so no ad block. It used to be just Android, and worked well, then it got 'upgraded' to 'googleTV' and has sucked ever since.  Its about to go into the trash. The only nice thing is it was also a chromecast.. so wife could stream from her phone, painlessly

I wish Instagram would do that.

That, by itself, would go a long way to making the platform usable again.  What started as a nice photo sharing site turned into "Facebook in square boxes of text".  I'd love to see it turn back.

But deleting relevant comments that are within context of the video, and in these cases just due to a word?

One example: video of a car thief dropping a baby off in an underpass on the side walk, then speeding away, after mother was hanging on the door for several miles and finally fell into the road.

While it had more text, the comment was similar to " while that does not excuse his actions, he could have just tossed the baby out the window or killed him like will often happen in these cases"   Instant deletion.    Tried it a different way. Again, gone.  Replaced "killed" with "******" and it stayed. 

I have seen other example of non-bad comments, within context, political statements, but if its against the wrong party, its gone faster than you can blink. If its against the correct party, it stays.   Far too fast for people to be reporting and then being deleted. 

"shoot" is another. You can say it totally out of context of firearms, but the word alone can get it gone.  "well shoot, i didn't think of...." poof.   ( and a variety of other words like that, 2A channels struggle not to be demonetized due to 'words', even from comments and not the video )

I realize its a private company, their house thier rules, bla bla, but it can still piss me off that they use free speech laws to their advantage and make tons of cash and influence people, but don't feel like extending same to thier customers.

I think the "private company" ship sailed long ago with just about everyone in the corporate sphere. Let alone El Goog and their fellow Silicon Valleyites Facefuck, who were created and bankrolled by the military-industrial complex (you know, what we used to call the deep state until everyone decided they loved Big Brother).

Actually i think its also targeting individual people.

Had one instantly hidden a bit ago in a gun channel. It had no trigger words ( pun intended ) nor did it qualify for any other 'rule'.  Oh well.  Rarely commented anyway, so whatever, no loss.

Guess im on yet another list.  lol

Interesting. YT recently let trump back on. i re-subscribed. He was posting videos of his campaign stops. They would show up in my subscription feed as they came out. ( I turned off view history, to reduce tracking so 'home' is now blank, and i dont get those stupid suggestions anymore that would fill the page ) I did a refresh a bit ago to see what was new in subscriptions, all of his vanished from the list, tho still in my notices. They are screwing with stuff again. YMMV of course.

Never mind. he just got shot. i bet they yanked videos due to that.

Lol one today:

Comment about the Trump shooter: "cop saw him in area but had no gun"  One dude said ' backpack '      My comment "or the gun was on the roof waiting"

Instantly... it was gone.   

and lol2..   a rant about how fast comments are being deleted...      gone.

they win. im done.

And apparently if you have a channel that has any sponsorship from a company that is in the gun industry, your YT channel will get wiped if you dont stop.  

Time for everyone to move on. 

The problem is there are a couple of channels that dont exist anywhere else.

Ill keep it for those.  Wont be commenting there anymore.

You are late in reaching that conclusion, but welcome anyway

Ublock origin is still going strong in blocking YT garbage for me. 

But yes, anyone who is on another platform, go there instead.

Well it was. 

Looks like they have broken it to an extent. Unsure how bad.   Start video.  Get a black loading screen ... then a full screen ad that sits there.( i assume should be a video ).  then it pops to the video. 

Might be done and stick with yt-dlp.  Unless UBO can fix it in the next few days.
