@GWNorth-db8vn I know. I've been dealing with it for months now. It's because they've reported our comments as Misinformation ("our" as in those I've talked to experiencing the exact same thing). They aren't deleted in the strictest sense, but are "hidden". They still show up in the "Your Data On YouTube" comments page, and I can navigate to them that way, but they are publicly hidden.
Over these months I've figured out a lot of the boundaries to be able to, most times, tiptoe around it. Even by posting the same content with a few choice words removed. (edit: posting the same, unedited comment, has only led to it being removed as well)
It's definitely intentional by YT's automoderation algorithm, but they have the sensitivity dialed WAY up, and it removes stuff that it shouldn't. (I've had jokes removed, although I totally get why it would, as I'm sure a trained algo has just as much difficulty discerning sarcasm online as we do lol)
Trust me, I do not throw around a term like "blacklist" without confidence. I've not changed how I've talked since Feb 2022, and never had a comment vanish up until 6-8mo ago! I've contacted YT about it over half a dozen times, to no avail. Even providing them with my exact comment that was removed.
(I'll be surprised if this is doesn't vanish heh)
(edit: color me surprised, it survived! [if it stays up after 45sec, it hasn't been removed])
