Over the past few days I've noticed that suddenly some comments have been inaccessible on any and all videos, including my own. Sometimes my own replies on my own channel are inaccessible! Used to be if the algorithm hated your comment it'd just display "hide all [number] comments" instead of "view all [number] comments" but if you click it says view all comments, now if it initially says hide all comments, clicking on it won't do you a lick of good. YouTube has apparently upped their censorship game. A sneaky move that nobody noticed as far as I know since nobody else is talking about this now. I figured I should so that you can be aware of it.
These kinds of tactics are nothing new. YouTube likes to use these sorts of insidious tactics to silence random people they don't like with an algorithm. YouTube wants to get rid of the comment section to free up space to make more advertiser money, they've been doing it for years. When things like this are noticed by enough people and enough people are pissed off, they walk it back and claim it's a glitch. A lot of the changes have stuck, like removing comment sections on videos containing minors or anything they decide is a "kids video" (deliberate overzealous compliance of COPPA). By 2022, this will be a crappy Hulu clone. YouTube only cares about short term gains.
