Interesting. Looking at Palmer's claim: "Try saying anything negative about the 五毛, or even mentioning them at all. Your comment will last about 30 seconds and get deleted without warning or notice, CCP-censor style." This seems to be evidence against the broader claim that anything gets deleted, rather than just negative comments.

  I wouldn't be surprised if Google's algo has some idea of how toxic a person you are based on your previous comments. That said, I wouldn't be shocked if every comment Palmer Lucky makes is shadow-banned.

Yeah, mine too still there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbV_lMS0R6U&lc=UgyIxFgZnPM8T_OK6qN4AaABAg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbV_lMS0R6U&lc=UgyIxFgZnPM8T... This sounds like yet another anti-China thread that comes the same day as the new security law for Hong Kong (I'm sure it's just a coincidence). I wonder: does China comment on repressive laws approved in other countries? Isn't Hong Kong a part of China? Why wouldn't they approve any laws they see fit? Why are the people that are concerned about this never concerned about repressive laws approved in US-friendly countries like Turkey or Saudi Arabia or the Emirates?

  And why all of a sudden is everyone so concerned with what China has been doing for decades (something that, while definitely authoritarian, is not exceedingly nefarious either)? It's a serious question. We all knew how China works, and even if we thought it's something that goes against some of our values, we never considered it bad enough to be a deal breaker. So what happened that made us all of a sudden become so fixated about it?

    Obviously because it's challenging Western world dominance.

Is there any reason to believe YouTube and not the users posting the comments, channel owner, etc - are not the ones deleting the comments?
