okay this is uh this is new
and interesting so i like to get a
little spicy in the comments
so i'm on this video here this this doug
demiro video where he talks about the 10
worst cars he's ever reviewed and of
course he's
crapping on the mitsubishi mirage and i
feel like the car gets bad rep that it
doesn't deserve
so this guy i responded to and you can
see where he responded to me
but you can see my responses are gone
now here's the problem i didn't delete
the responses so yeah
i got a little bit angry about that
because i didn't delete them it would
actually make more sense to edit
than delete if you think about it so you
see this comment this comment right here
this is the one that's interesting
and this is why i'm making this video
this comment that says
26 minutes ago it's actually been longer
than that i think what's happening is
youtube's flagging comments for deletion
but it used to be you could refresh
after 20 or 30 seconds
and they would go away if youtube was
auto censoring but now
it seems to be that these are going away
after 30 minutes
so comments will vanish but they'll
vanish a lot later
and here's how i know this and i've
waited for a while here to see if i
could get this proof
so no you didn't you no i didn't you
so remember that comment that's
important
now up here google my activity
okay i've got two of these google my
activities up okay
and this one i have not refreshed
and this one i have refreshed
now here let's come down here this is
very interesting
your youtube comments i also just
noticed something i didn't even notice
yet
so your youtube comments okay
all right this one right here is the no
i didn't you but look at this
linux one here and then that's because
doug
so let's reiterate yep someone no i
didn't
linux's biggest benefit that's because
doug
my linux one vanished in the list here
and here let's refresh it and see what
happens because that one's gone now too
so no i didn't you right so i
open in a private tab
over here see the little incognito i
open an incognito window to my comment
and that comment is gone now too
nip someone's deleting comments and it
isn't me notice that says 16 minutes ago
let's go back over here look
yeah someone's deleting comments and it
isn't me but my comment's still there
now what do you suppose happens if i
come up here and i try to duplicate this
tab
what do you think's gonna happen let's
see if we can catch the video come on
pause pause no
don't double pause that's a play all
right
so over here notice it still says hide
five replies
but there's six replies so
i can see it's there it's very clearly
not there in incognito
when i'm not in that account so
what's going on and today i'm going to
talk about
yeah you can be quiet so what's going on
here is youtube censoring comments in a
new way
that's the question are they see that
one's still there it's uh
it's not been 30 minutes but i think
that they're nuking these comments after
30 minutes
what's really annoying to me however
is that this comment here about linux's
biggest benefit
freedom to choose and decentralization
of effort
that's actually a comment on one of my
videos that vanished
a comment by me on one of my videos that
vanished from my activity history
so why did that happen where did that go
where did my comment go
what is going on has youtube chan oh god
who's that ugly guy
has youtube changed their censorship
mechanisms in here
have they changed the way that this
works
i wonder and i'm gonna try to see if i
can find
that comment but there's a lot of
comments on here
and i don't know if i'll be able to find
it what was the original comment
linux's biggest benefit because someone
else was talking about it now did they
delete his comment
what happened to it what's going on here
i hope this is temporary
i hope this isn't some sort of new
cancerous comment censorship
nonsense that's far more sinister
because they wait
until long enough
that you won't notice that they've nuked
it
so yeah i mean you be the judge you can
see what they've done
i think something's going on be on the
lookout
