I'm pretty sure the reason I got the infamous 'shadow ban' on Youtube for my Google account (i.e. I can see my comments but nobody else can, and my upvotes/downvotes behave similarly) was that I made a lot of snarky comments about how many ads different kinds of content had per minute of viewing time. I'd also note in the comments when Youtube gave the 'log in to see this age-sensitive content' warning (which didn't show up when logged in).
They don't want anyone questioning their ad revenue model I guess, nor their algorithmic ranking system...
