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 can confirm this is happening as it is happening with my own comments as well, but to be completely fair, I'm not entirely sure whether this is censorship, a fuckup, or a mixture of both. Comments on YouTube are notoriously buggy and unreliable, sometimes perfectly innocuous comments disappear and then eventually reappear, I've even witnessed an entire comment thread of maybe twenty comments and several participants that was perfectly visible from the notification dropdown, but, except for the starter comment, was nonexistent in the comment section below the video.

Let me save you the time. It is censorship.

This kind of jumping to conclusions without evidence is what helps publicly discredit the entire operation, so let's not do that. We don't know if it's censorship. The fact that another user (@tjarco) has reported seeing all of the comments by OP, combined with the other fact that this happens often with completely innocuous comments as well, suggests it probably isn't.

Well, i asked tjarco is he could so politely go the this video in this link and count to see how many replies i have to gosaints2345 comment, he doesnt seem to be here at the moment and i really want to get to the bottom of this.. It appears to me that they have only made the uninformative posts to be visible to the public, there a few certain comments that i tried to post on MULTIPLE occasions on different videos, but they are never visible to the public https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkUO1U8coik&t=525s Its on the first page, just scroll down a bit and could you please tell me how many replies of mine are appearing to gosaint2345? Would be very helpful for me..and the sooner i get to the bottom of this the sooner ill shut up about it

Okay, so I made a new google account finally..The first 2 test posts went through fine, I checked TOR browser no less than a minute later, and they were appearing where the should be, like normal.
Then i go to try and post the dreaded comment I've been trying to post for the past 2 days, and sure enough it was censored....Maybe they are just censoring certain links from being posted? I posted it once and it didn't go through, but i will try again later on a different video, i just want to give it time to avoid being flagged for spamming..
This is one of the post's it just will NOT let me post anywhere on youtube..anyone else want to give it a try?
"IF "pizz@g@te" is a hoax..then WHY are people attempting to silence the researchers so bad? Even going as far as to send death threats?? Why go through all this trouble, if there is nothing to hide??

Your comment is being caught by a preconfigured filter. Have you tried posting it without the link? If it goes through, you will know that this particular video you're trying to link to is on a blacklist (which, given its title, is more than likely), and then you can try circumventing the algorithm by posting just the video ID (53qYAWE8_kE), broken up into two pieces, explained. (E.g., "For more details, watch the video with the ID 53qYA combined with WE8_kE – this is the only way I can post it as the link is filtered out every time.")

Thank you for confirming what i thought to be true, there are 5 visible comments of mine from my browser.
Pretty sure i have just been straight up ghost banned now, as none of the comments that I post, are visible to the public anymore..even my friendly comments!

That poster is a shill that post 24/7 for days on end. You are describing his goal.

Thank for the heads-up. I wonder how he still isn't banned.
