I think this happens all the time.
I very rarely post comments on youtube, but when I do, I often want to go back to see if I've gotten any replies. Anyone else who's tried doing this has figured out that youtube makes it incredibly difficult for you to find your comment history. It's clearly not something they intend for you to actually use. They don't give you notifications about replies, or even the option to be notified.
Anyway, I think a lot of my comments have either been silently deleted or that maybe they work as if I'm shadowbanned. I've seen this in action trying to post comments on a news video.
- eksapsy 5y agoI think I actually figured it out (a bit) It must have something to do with long comments. Whenever I make a long comment, most of the time it just gets deleted after I reload the page. I even checked out the comment history which also shows the comment at first, then you reload and it disappears. Then after 10 retries, I say fuck it and I just write a small comment instead, go back after 20 seconds and it's still there. It probably has something to do with long comments. Not sure, but that's where the clues are leading me.
- rasz 5y agoYT Bell icon will show you replies to your comments, but only those where someone directly clicked "reply" on your comment. YT comments are 1 deep and if someone replies to a reply to your comment you wont get notified. also https://www.youtube.com/feed/history https://www.youtube.com/feed/history click Comments on the lower right. But this wont show deleted comments. I had comments disappear, and later video creator tell me he saw it (got notification) before it was automagically deleted by Google, those comments vanished from YT history.
