I'm a YouTuber with a moderate channel (60k subs). Bad comments are not magically shadow banned, they go into a queue that I have to moderate. The filtering is very good, I never get false positives. Even the really, really nasty ones are there, I just get a warning before I can see them.
I can, of course, choose to delete those comments and/or ban that person from commenting on my channel again. I can also choose to approve them.
- circuit10 4y agoI imagine most big YouTubers can’t moderate each comment like that though, so it’s effectively the same as a shadowban in that case
- grecy 4y agoThey have teams of people doing it. Comments only go into that queue when certain words are used, and they have to be bad. Well reasoned disagreement never goes in there. Even just “what you said is dumb, I know better that you” doesn’t go in there It’s always comments like “f$&@ you, moron, “.
- circuit10 4y agoBut links often go there as well
- grecy 4y agoThey do. Which means if you don't want your comment to go in the queue on YT, don't post links in comments.
- circuit10 4y agoWhich really hurts your ability to share information with others, and it doesn’t tell you this anywhere so you can spend ages writing out a comment without realising that no one will ever see it
