Every time someone posts a complaint question like this it turns out that the things they’re posting and getting banned, blocked it deleted for is something that should be banned, blocked it deleted.
Lol little homie won’t give examples of what he posts. Wonder why…
Can you not imagine a scenario where there are innocuous comments getting deleted? Do you really have that much faith in AI that you trust it would always make the correct decision in removing comments? Do I have to try to find other instances online of people being unable to post completely harmless comments that get deleted for seemingly no reason?
I explained the reason why I’m not specifying the exact content, though I actually did give examples which people ignored and demanded to know more. Evidently, it would further distract from the actual question and stop people from answering it, and also it’s varied what gets deleted and doesn’t even follow a consistent formula.
This is really disheartening, tbh.
So you’re incapable of imagining a hypothetical where even you agree that what I’m trying to say is completely innocuous?
Or do you actually think that there’s no situation when an innocuous comment gets deleted (even though there are countless examples online of people in the same situation as me)?
Honestly worrying if people have this much faith in auto-moderation systems.
Also, people are being incredibly rude for no reason. “Little homie”? And why are you assuming my gender? Weird internet stuff.
Hey, this is not me passing judgement, but trying to be informative since you are getting a lot of hate and seem confused by it:
Your question and commenting style are 100% match for “concern troll”, and there are no signs proving otherwise, like concrete examples of your issue or honest answers to followup questions.
Requests for examples are dismissed. You have commented at least 6 times that “I have given numerous examples” but all I can find is one comment where you say you wrote something like “that’s kinda messed up” which is both vague and contains zero context on what that comment responded to. No more examples.
I don’t know what concern troll is. But I’ve been accused of being a troll before which sucks. I’m not a troll.
I’ve given other examples already like how I can’t mention brand names in any context and can’t say anything about certain governments, corporations or industries regardless of the content. Like literally anything about them, including positive or neutral.
I also struggle to think of examples because it happens so often and I’m not recording them and they’re just random things I wouldn’t remember.
Beyond that I shouldn’t have to say what gets deleted and I actually can’t think of examples because I’ve already forgotten about them. It’s usually completely random things.
Also, the question is about alternate text characters. Some people were kind enough to understand this does happen to some people for no discernable reason, and either were empathetic but couldn’t help, while others actually gave some nice tips. Most people took this post as an opportunity to grill me about what the content was and assume the worst about me in a number of ways and insult me.
It’s really whatever. This is a known problem if you look into it online and there’s even someone else in this comments section who said they experienced the same issues.
Maybe it will become more well known and people will understand that these systems do not always work properly and often delete some people’s comments in some cases for no apparent reason, with mixed results. Assuming that they always work properly is just an illogical stance in my opinion. Technology is fallible, and especially AI and auto-moderation.
This honestly reminds me of something. Before butt-dialing became well known, when it happened sometimes people would literally refuse to believe that the phone had dialled accidentally in their pocket. They thought that such an issue could never occur. Well, it did. And this is a real problem I’m talking about, and I am honestly innocent. I could easily be the same person as you, and if you were in this situation, I would be empathetic to it and I wouldn’t demand to know what you were commenting (especially when it’s literally lots of random things in various scenarios). If someone told me that they were having a technical issue like this, I would believe them. We need to believe each other more, I think. All this accusation of falsehood. I understand trolls exist, but we’ve all lost our minds if we assume everyone is a troll all the time. Tbh.
A concern troll would not use this opportunity to clarify, but instead respond to my comment evasively, deflect, play victim, and with a barrage of politely worded smokescreen.
Are you saying that’s what I’m doing? I honestly can’t tell. If you think that no matter what I say, I’m assumed to be a troll anyway, then I guess I can’t win. I did my best to clarify. My situation makes sense to me. I mean, I don’t understand what’s happening to me with the YouTube comments and why, or what the criteria is. But if I saw someone saying what I’m saying I think I would believe them. Saying you don’t know whether you believe me or not is one thing, and that kind of hurts. It’s more hurtful that people are 100% not believing me and assuming the worst of me. Do you actually think I’m a troll? Even now? Man this is crazy.
What sensible words are you saying exactly that are requiring alternate spellings to avoid detection?
It’s not even just words. It’s phrases that don’t contain any bad language at all. If you don’t know you don’t know. They’re silencing free speech. And like I said, completely sensible things that there’s no reason to delete, while toxic comments and foul language remain undeleted.
There are lots of different things that are deleted if you look at other people’s experiences with the same thing online. Reasonable criticism of governments or corporations and industries, referencing scientific studies, etc. It does not say anything the fact that I’m asking for a solution to this issue and I’m not interested in starting a debate here over the exact content that’s being removed. It does not breach any rules, it’s unproblematic, and should be allowed. If you don’t have a solution, then thanks but I’m not here to discuss why you don’t think we should be allowed to say certain things.
I’m not alt right. I’m left wing. What isn’t how free speech works? I didn’t even say what the content was that was being removed. You’re making a lot of assumptions.
What an imbecilic outburst. You little shaking leaf, haha. A bubble probably scares you.
Well look at that. It turns are there ARE stupid questions after all!
Wanting to bypass a broken YouTube detection filter with variant characters is a stupid question?
Yes. For a number of reasons that have been explained to you repeatedly in this thread.
Go away now.
No one is understanding a very basic point, seemingly.
You don’t need to know the content that’s being removed, which is varied, in order to be able to suggest a text character that doesn’t get removed.
People in this thread, mainly one person in particular, is trying to argue that they would need to know what the content is in order to suggest a text character. That literally makes no sense.
If you know a text character that might work, then that would be helpful, and you don’t need to know what the content is in order to provide that.
Please tell me you understand this.
You know you don’t have to use these big tech platforms right?
Stop bowing down to their madness and just be OK with not having YouTube. It’s not like water you know. You don’t need them to survive.
The only problem - everyone uses it. And it’s a good source of info for all sorts of things (disassembly tutorials, DIY, etc.).
Exactly, everyone uses it. Otherwise I would 100% be using Oddysee or something like that. The problem is all the main content is on YouTube so I want to be able to comment on YouTube.
Upvoted for acknowledging the madness of YouTube. It’s a broken platform and this crazy comment deletion that doesn’t even work properly and deletes completely normal comments is the worst thing they’ve done ever since its inception, tbh.
Have you heard of the fact that it’s not Youtube who is deleting comments but that it’s the responsibility of the channel owners?
I already addressed this here in another comment right after I posted because I know people always claim this lol (based on what I saw of Reddit threads discussing this issue). No it’s not the creators, it’s 100% YouTube bots. There’s a slight possibility it could be people working for YouTube in certain cases on popular channels but mostly it’s definitely bots. I often know the creators personally and they’ve confirmed they’re not deleting them and they don’t know why it happens.
