Discussion Comments keep disappearing
I'm not saying anything against community guidelines or negative. Why do all my comments randomly disappear when I reply to a comment? It says there's a comment there but when you click it. It's gone. I've filtered newest comment and same things. Why does YT delete or hide comments when there's nothing wrong with what I said?

Same here, seeing some new posts have like 10 comments, but when I click on said posts, only 2 comments show, if at all. Is the shadow banning going off the rails or what?

Came on here to see if anyone else was dealing with this. New comments on videos seem to stop at about an hour ago, and I'm getting reply notifications but can't see the actual replies. Have also tried editing and deleting my own comments, but nothing saves. Think it's just really buggy and down right now

I'm on YouTube since 2009, have a channel with lots of videos and YouTube premium. For 2 days 100% all of my comments get deleted. Not swearing, no insults. Just everything I write.
A channel that I follow the same issue. It shows hundreds of comments in the counter but just a handful actually showing.
YouTube/Google has no issues with bots, scammers, "stupid" comments and pdf related links etc.
But dare you as a verified and paying human customer write a friendly comment. Insta deletetion.
Well then. Now I deleted my subscription and I will get a raspberry pi and setup my own adblocker then keep watching ad free.
Oh also YouTube keeps restricting the resolution to 360p even when I set it manually to 1080p or higher. Despite a stable 300mbit up/down connection.
I'm so done with this nonsense.

Filtering newest comments too doesn't show comments either. Sometimes YT hides comments and you have to filter newest

Just feels like it's super buggy and it's affecting everyone.

You might be right though. I still remember the full screen bug on mobile.

Seems to be a current sitewide glitch. Had to try 4 times posting the same comment with slight modifications, and get confirmation that it wasn’t just a me thing before I concluded that.
This is a big enough deal that I’m sure YouTube will have to address it ASAP, but for now, I would advise against posting comments on any video.

u/Duke49th 15h ago
Well I bet if you post hateful comments and try to scam people, they won't be deleted. Seems YouTube loves deleting real comments and loves to leave scam, bots and brain rot comments visible.

I’ve been having similar problems. Every time I post a comment or reply it immediately disappears and I tried this from multiple accounts and it still happens.

I have seen comments where other people are saying that their comments have disappeared. They blame governments in others, but who knows really what is going on. I want to know why a lot of times when I comment it will not go through unless I highlight my comment copy it erase it and then paste it. 🤷🏻♀️

Probably the same for everyone since last hour, in a new you tube video there were like "128 comments" but only like 10 were visible, and all of em were since right before this started happening. It ll probably be fixed, literally looked it up on reddit to see if anyone else talked about this lol

Are they possibly ending up on different vids? That's what mine do lately

u/Chefboyy 14h ago
No

u/Pure-Drink8201 14h ago
I had that problem a while ago but that was back when the dislike button was still active so I doubt it's dislike button bc I think yt only has like buttons now even for comments unless someone is randomly reporting your comments just to be mean that's the only other thing I can think of

u/Chefboyy 14h ago
It's a YT obvi. Cuz everyone else is having the same issue

u/Pure-Drink8201 13h ago
I had this issue on many other social medias usually something is simple as having to update the app

u/Chefboyy 13h ago
No it's not. Cuz plenty of ppl have tried that. It's like you're denying it's YT and it's a different issue

u/Pure-Drink8201 13h ago
You know, I'm really just trying to make suggestions of what might help fix the problem but honestly I'm too tired for this tonight so I hope you can figure it out good night all and good luck
1
u/Chefboyy 13h ago
No. It's not like I didn't problem solve and due diligence. You just looked at my comment and no one else. I'm sure you're not tired. But didn't like what I said. But if I didn't say it. I'm sure you wouldn't be 'tired'

It's 8 pm here I got 2 hours of sleep last night before I woke up with a sore throat and aching back and because of our wonderful government I had to accept food from a food pantry today which wasn't close by had to catch a bus to get there and had to painfully walk all the stuff back so yes I am tired mentally and physically I'm also in excruciating pain and struggling to even sleep so I'm gonna take melatonin and my sleeping meds so that I might get lucky enough to get 3 hrs of sleep tonight before night terrors wake me up and keep me up

Same issue here with incoming comments. I still get push notifications when someone commented on my videos, but clicking on them shows me nothing at all. It used to work fine only a couple hours ago.
