  1. Thank you for representing German sanity.

  2. You need to keep messages short. The shorter, the greater the chance it will pass. So split if you must. Don't write the names of countries, rather speak of our transatlantic friends or "on the east coast of the Mediteranian sea". Speak of janoside, construct words fonetically using (preferably existing) other words. It's cumbersome and frustrating. The filtering is all automatic using AI. Which gets smarter. The goal seems to be to prevent discussion. You are here to watch ads, not to engange with fellow commenters.

  3. He is bad alright. But he is not the worst though. We have someone considerably worse in Dutch politics (really far right) and he lost big in this election so there is a silver lining. Geert is mainly known for his anti-imigration and anti-islam stance and he is generally anti-Arab. He is outspokenly pro-Israel and probably takes money from the Israelis. So, that is bad enough. I do not expect him to get anywhere with his anti-islam BS but he will propably get his cap on immigration because other parties will see there is no gain in opposing that. The years to come will be chaotic with lots of scandals (the first one already emerged) because he will not be able to fill those seats with remotely capable people. It is going to be "interesting".

  4. That's YouTube's zaai o nist bias. They have it automated. You may still find your message when filtering on "Newest" rather than "Top". But 99% of readers will not see it, which is the point. With your profile, you are not to be heard.

  5. Since my answer was appreciated I will elaborate a bit. I like "Isteal" by the way, I will use that as an obfuscation when I need it.

  6. I found by experience there are a number of ways your message can be removed. When I am determined to make my point l will check in incognito mode. That should give me the view other accounts get. Because me seeing my own message doesn't mean much.

  7. The last case is rare for me, this only happens if you use really "bad" words or direct insults. The other cases are more common with perfectly decent messages that are likely to trigger a response. Before changing things around a bit in an attempt to pass the filter, you should post a short meaningless message. It looks like the system has a (short) memory and will compare your new message to your last one. If they are alike and the last one was rejected, so will the next one, even without the problematic words.

  8.  @susanshelit  No, muesliman is right. You don't seem to have figured out how this works yet. Mind this: people who have less than you are hardly ever your problem. In our capitalist society you have people with lots of cookies and people with few cookies. Suppose there are 10 cookies. The big guy has 9, you have 1. Then comes someone without a cookie. And the big guy tells you "Watch out! That new guy is after your cookie!" And then you vote for Geert Wilders.

Because me seeing my own message does't mean much.. 1. Visible by yourself and in incognito mode. This is what you want. If it is a reply, you still need to click "x replies" to see if it is really there for others to see. If it is a top level message you should click the video and then go to comments and look it up. On a channel with many comments this is impractical. 2. Visible to yourself but not in incognito mode. You may feel good about what you shared with the world but no one else sees your message. 3. Not visible to you or anyone else but still in your comment history. 4. Deleted: not visible and not in your history.

I think this is not so much a concious decision as it is a tendency to favor mainsteam statements. It depends WHERE you say things too.

  12. The system may seem politically biased. I think this is not so much a concious decision by anyone as it is a tendency to favor mainsteam statements. YouTube won't mind people agreeing but will likely give you a hard time when you go against the grain. It depends WHERE you say things.
