Is this happening to anyone else?
I noticed it yesterday when i was having a discussion with someone, and he brought up a New York Times article that "debunked" pizzagate, I then told them about Mark Thompson and his past, in a pretty lengthy post, and noticed he wasnt commenting..I asked him why, and he said that he didnt see the comment...
So I hopped on the TOR browser (for anonymity) and checked to see what comments WERE actually visible to the public, and only a very minimal amount of them were visible, basically just enough comments were showing to make it seem like i was talking nonsense..
I took a screenshot of what the view was on the TOR browser (public view), and what was visible from my normal browser and account

So I was under the impression that my comments were getting through, because on my browser, in my view, they were appearing... if the person never said they didn't see my comments i would probably still be clueless to this.
Now everytime I post a comment, i have to check it on Tor browser to see if its actually visible to the public...and it turns out they are pretty much blocking all my comments from public view, especially whenever I talk about the pizzagate researchers who are getting threatened, censorship..or their plan to link the Russians with Pizzagate..
It honestly seems like someone is screening each of my comments and deeming it acceptable or not, it sounds crazy i know...its driving ME crazy.
I started to take screenshots when I found out that they were doing this, but it has become so frequent i just gave up on taking screens
heres a few

Is anyone else being subject to such suppression of free speech?? I feel like I am being targeted, and Its got to the point where I've got to be careful of what i say.
I even contacted youtube earlier today, asking why I am being subject to this, but they haven't responded
Communist China here we come??

I did look into this yesterday, thing is when I looked for your comments on the Colbert video I was able to find all of them. I was suspecting you were trolling or harrassing people, because more than half of comments on the video we're pro PG so I wondered what made you so special to ban. Anyway I clicked on one of your posted links, which seemed fine. No trolling/harassment, only the sheer volume of your comments could be questioned, maybe they spam-marked you. But when I reloaded the page and tried to search for your comment again, it was removed from the original position! Untill I scrolled down and down and down and there it was again. I notice that Youtube randomly orders the comments, so two of your comments that were below eachother, weren't when I refreshed the page. Still not sure what to make of this. It's hard to support that they are censoring, because the comments I could find weren't removed, they were just moved. If this is a common thing for Youtube comments? I honestly don't know.

Or in this video? I'm very curious actually, I'd like to be reassured that I'm not going crazy lol. How many of my comments do you see in reply to gosaints2345? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkUO1U8coik&t=525s

One of which I don't agree with: "I'm sure it it a violation to censor people who are simply speaking the truth, I'm not preaching hate, or abuse or anything remotely similar."
It's not truth now we have policy making against FAKE-NEWS. It's your opinion. If that is being censored, your freedom to openly question things. Than that is evidence. I suspect you left more comments, I'm wondering what they stated.

Yeah i guess i forgot, its okay for the mainstream to have their opinion on what the "truth" is, and spread their opinion to millions of people, but I'm not alloud to state what i feel is the truth in a youtube comment? (rhetoric question...not to you..)
This is what i typed out.
"I don't believe pizzagate is fake at all, what i do believe, is that there is currently a major attempt by our government to make it APPEAR that pizzagate is fake
But they aren't just trying to discredit pizzagate, they are also trying to find a way to take down the alternative media sites...
They're going to try and find a way to link pizzagate with the russians, which will in turn be cause enough to shut down the websites that are supporting the pizzagate hunt, because it it all based on "russian disinfo"..
I dont know if you guys heard, but they recently passed a bill in senate, stating that if anyone is in "Cahoots" with the russian, so to speak, they have the right to take authoritative action against you, whatever that may be...

Link to the bill - https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/6393
"This title establishes an executive branch interagency committee to counter active measures by the Russian Federation to exert covert influence over peoples and governments (with the role of the Russian Federation hidden or not acknowledged publicly) through front groups, covert broadcasting, media manipulation, disinformation or forgeries, funding agents of influence, incitement, offensive counterintelligence, assassinations, or terrorist acts. The committee shall expose falsehoods, agents of influence, corruption, human rights abuses, terrorism, and assassinations carried out by the security services or political elites of the Russian Federation or their proxies."
I also get censored everytime time i try to post a link to this video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53qYAWE8_kE ) I made a new account since my old account appears to be shadowbanned, and I can comment normally with it, but i tried posing a link to that video and it was hidden from view once again

It is common. The ordering of starter comments varies from time to time, and depends on many factors I believe, the exact algorithm is unknown. This happens on every video.
