Is Voat censoring youtube links? (whatever)

submitted ago by Armpit_and_Ass

Is it voat? Is it just some subs? Is it just me?

I've been noticing this for a while now. I post a youtube link in a comment and the link just doesn't show up. I ask if it's official Voat policy, because the link isn't even visible to me when viewing my own comment history page. I've seen it with both straight youtube links, and you.tube or whatever that other domain is.

Evidence here:

>inb4 hurrrrr use whatever other flash-in-the-pan video site is the flavor of the week

I don't care what video site you think is hip and/or happening. That's not what this post is about. This post is about whether or not Voat is censoring information and/or altering peoples' comments, for whatever reason(s).

I post gardening videos and various others direct from YT and never had this issue before.

At this point, I'm willing to admit that maybe it's just me. Funky umatrix/ublock/browser setting maybe?

Yes, this issue has cropped up from time to time, and it’s been on the user side every time. Browser?

Sorry to double post. It's something in ublock. I just checked by turning it off/on again to see, and sakarumbo's link appears/disappears as I do it.

Ah, ye olde ublock. Are you using origin?

Yup. And umatrix, but I disabled that for voat.
