Yeah youtube's far right bias showing very strong with what they choose to censor. The only comment I have ever gotten a threatening message from was the one where I called out an elon fanboy for 'hate speech' because apparently "billionaire" is a protected category. They also seem to blanket ban anything critical of pedophilia which is just the nice little cherry on top. Meanwhile shorts are just full of nazi propaganda. Yep.
BTW if you get shadowbanned and view the comment in incognito it will still show your comments even though they're deleted, because as a recent lawsuit proves, incognito mode in chrome is little more than the illusion of being logged off.
I didn't realize how much worse YouTube has gotten since I last used it in 2019. Still, through Invidious I've been noticing that the comments on popular videos have gotten weird, especially in recent years. Also it seems like YouTube is deleting any comment that is even remotely negative. Because all I ever see anymore are generic positive praise comments. Meanwhile there are content farms out there that put out videos for "Kids" on a rapid pace that contain borderline sexual content. I wish more people would start using PeerTube because I have a feeling that YouTube won't be getting any better in the future.
Which shouldn't be a surprise since Chrome itself is just another one of Google's spyware products.
PeerTube even has nice features such as being able to share a clip with a start and end time and send it as a url. This is super handy when one wants to share a specific segment of a video without people feeling overwhelmed if the video is long. Open source once again actually making features and not anti-features.
I hope to run a personal PeerTube instance someday in the near future.
Youtube having a right wing bias is hysterical considering how hard they try to look like a progressive website. Whatever robot they have running the company is a MAGA voter I guess lol
The disconnect comes from the fact that being a fascist and being a progressive are mutually exclusive. A lot of people think that as long as you're a progressive you can't possibly be a nazi, not realizing that's literally what the nazis were all about. It's why eugenicists always say that ethics "get in the way of progress" and why decimating cultures is always framed as "civilizing" them.
