Ive been having the same problem.I checked my Safety Mode and its switched to "off" so other than some weird automated unnecessary moderator filtering I really dont know what the heck is wrong.
This is happening to me as well. I can start a new comment and people will see it and respond to it, but if I reply to one, no one else can see it. I assume it is a privacy setting I need to change, but I don't know what to do.
If google doesn't like who you are or what you are saying, it will not publicly show your comments/replies.
it's all political, watch some youtube videos about it. google youtube is owned by the government now, literally
The same happend to me. It seems that a systematic blockade of some users take place in order to exclude them from the possibility of expressing their opinion.
Freedom of speech is a fundamental right and a restriction is not acceptable!

Exactly. I decide after a long time of never even looking at comments to decide to actually say something, and after about my third comment, my comments stop showing up. Even though it's completely unethical, I wouldn't have gotten so upset if Google would've given me some notification, instead of playing it off as if I was actually still talking to people. I still get notifications from comment strings I've commented on, even though my comments don't appear to others. It's completely unjustified.
You guys are being ridiculous, this have nothing to do with Google not showing comments, just another random glitch that Google doesn't seem to care about.
Yep every since google networks took over youtube it has just been one problem after the next.
Works on Google but not on YouTube, still no fixes : (
My Gmail account in which my YT is hooked up to has multiple YT accounts. It is SUPER easy to create and link accounts now with one email. But most, if not all of my accounts are having the exact same issue as everyone else on this page it seems. I was wondering why nobody was replying to me directly, like my comments, or even commenting back as the YouTube community usually doesn't ignore an individual with a strong opinion. I finally switched accounts and noticed that my comments just simply didn't exist.
So if this is google's doing on purpose...infringing my rights on the first amendment much?...

As BS as this is,Google would argue that they are a privatley owne entity which can thus form its own rules and regulations which would help them form a legal loophole around Freedom of speech and expression.But then one could counter argue that since they are a publically traded company this is not neccessarily the case.
I have noticed that some comments of some posters do get through and others just get through to certain other posters while made invisible yet still to the majority.
Start looking for a youtube alternative now guys.
Youtube is no longer a valid in any form for any type of social interaction.
In a system where you cant even tell whether or not your comments show up, there is no sense in commenting.

Google is actively used as survilance.
This is why you need to verify your account with your own phone.
Oh and one more thing:
This "comments not showing up for others" bullshit is called comment ghosting.
The person who came up with it should be burned along with its family.
My comments don't show up...what am I supposed to do?
Were you people posting comments in the past, that suggested Lee Harvey Oswald didn't shoot JFK, men never walked on the Moon and/or the government hasn't told the truth about 9/11?
@Jason Lauder – Have you ever had a comment hidden that included a URL to a YouTube video that suggested Lee Harvey Oswald didn't shoot JFK, men never walked on
the Moon and/or the government hasn't told the truth about 9/11?

Same here... I wondered why the guy I was debating stopped replying, thought maybe I got the best of him, a few days later he commented that I ran off.
I noticed none of my replies were visible to me unless (I was signed in)..I signed in & replied to a few posters thinking that would make a difference. nothing...No one else could see my comments.

It's either a youtube bug or censorship.
I know Facebook deletes accounts they don't like...whether you violate their rules or not.
@gbcali - I've had many comments that haven't shown publicly regardless of whether or not they included a URL. Very rarely can I get a comment to show publicly anymore. Youtube/Google sucks! Why would anyone want to take the time to type out a comment that appears to themselves only? I already know what I'm thinking. If I think it's important enough, I make sure it's posted to my Google+ page. At least there'll be some type of record.
Another bug google will never fix. Same problem. I need to use my second channel to comment
I'm glad I came across this because at least now I know I'm not the only one. I actually tried asking about this a few weeks ago when I was notified that someone else commented on something I did too. When I looked, my comment was gone, but someone else had actually replied to me specifically (which I was never notified of). So, I asked if someone deleted it and apologized even though I know what I posted wasn't offensive in the least. Unfortunately, the others who had commented didn't really help. They just ganged up on me, telling me how slow I was for not noticing it was gone right away.
What I find sort of ironic is that the new comment system is supposed to encourage discussions, but whenever I comment, it gets deleted. It really bums me out because I like open discussions.
I am able to post comments, and some replies do show, some however randomly does not show... btw, there are no noticeable distinctions between the ones that show and the ones that does not.
I hope Google takes notice of this glitch : (
Same here.
I have made numerous posts (most without URLs in them, so having URLs is not the problem) in the last couple days.
I got a notice via email that someone else responded in a thread I had commented in so I clicked the link and was taking the to thread. But my posts weren't there. I thought someone had deleted them.
I was going to gripe, so I logged in to post a griping comment. As soon as I logged in, there were all my posts.
I logged out again and they were gone again.
As someone else said, it is bullshit making posts to a public forum that no one else can see ... what's the point? Why spend time looking up information and writing a response just to have it show up to no one but yourself?
Agreed. It really ticks me off when I realize a well-thought out comment I had written has disappeared.
For awhile, I thought mine were being deleted because of something I said, even though I try extra hard on Youtube not to post anything that could cause controversy.
I'm getting the same thing with this account, I created this Rankle Rave account since my girl is using my other other more and more. I don't have any issue with my other account but this account can only leave comment on certain YouTube videos but won't leave one on other videos. Oddly enough the one I can't leave any comment on are the one that have to do with Moon landing or 9/11. I love debunking the Conspiracy Theorist, but with this account I can't.
Does Google even look at these thread to help us out with these problems?
Same here
Now people can't even see my comments when I comment on other comments. They used to at least be able to see that. Fucking Google completely ruined YouTube.
I'm having the same issue. I log out of my main account into another one, and my comments are no longer there :( It seems like they are appearing only to myself. A few comments have dissapeared completely and I can't even see them on my main account! This is very frustrating since I am usually to trying to help out fellow youtubers on a music channel I've subscribed to by telling them the name of one of the many songs that were removed from it. And I can't because my comments just aren't appearing!!
I've been having the same problem for months now.
My short, stupid comments on a comedy video or something always show up fine, but my longer, well thought out comments never appear publicly.
I'm having this same problem. My account is in "good standing". I never troll or spam (will typically only comment a maximum of two ro three times a day overall). But I'm being vanished. It's ridiculous to have a social commenting system where you can only talk to yourself.
It's not about comment about moon or 9/11. They don't have a system that smart that it can detect this kind of things. It uses a reputation system.
If you get too low on the system your replies starts to get flagged prior to checking.
It's very easy to get low on the system. If you don't have a real name, real photo, phone number or don't use the godawful g+ you are considered a bad person to google. Thumb downs, getting marked as spam, getting blocked by the video poster, etc... can also make your "points" go down, but that's not the case for most people, me included.
Guys, you need to learn exactly what freedom of speech is. It doesn't mean you get to say whatever you want on someone else's network. The people who own the servers you are using have the right to set their own rules. Just like when you are at a restaurant or store, the owners can ask you to leave if your speech is disruptive.
Freedom of speech protects you from government censorship and persecution, not from the rules of a property owner or online service. And guess what? These rules are in the TOS. If you don't like it, don't click the agree button.
Yep, this happened to be before G+ came along and YouTube changed the comment system. Seems if people don't like what you have to say, getting flagged and marked for spam is a simple way to silent the minority.
I generally comment on gun rights, the Constitution, anarchy, and thier respective history.
When G+ rolled out, all seemed well again, for a while. I've been on the blacklist for 2 or so months again however. There is nothing quite like mutually engaging in a conversation where only one side is presented. It doesn't pay to write well thought, well referenced posts, as they simply don't appear. Google seemingly promotes trolling instead, flagging regular people with abuse and spam when you disagree with them.
Yeah, exact same problem here. If I write a comment [being an OP or starting a thread], it'll get noticed and I'll have both replies and likes [+1's]. However, quite often when I write in a thread of comments, mine will get overlooked. I'll notice that others are replying and that people are giving out +1's. I'll keep getting notifications and eventually I'll look at my comment won't even be there, even though everyone else's comments are still there. I'll still get notifications from the post, so I KNOW I've interacted with it somehow or else why would I get notifications?
No idea what's going on. Hopefully it's just a dumb bug or error that Google needs to fix and they're not trying to suppress our opinions. I'd like it if Google could address this issue and fix it. It's pretty annoying thinking you've joined a conversation only to realize you were never a part of it.
For years I have been giving my opinions on every subject, politics, music, etc. all of a sudden I don't have the option to opine any more...this is happening for more than 6 months.
The You Tube or Google I don't know how it works, forbid my entrance to opine as KAIORA. I do, like anyone else, nobody is using the real name, and this is one of the reason,I use the nickname.
Everything has changed, including the fact theses changes happen without any previous notice. I have been asking for help and nobody answer,
GOD SAVE AMERICA!!!

Here we go again. For years I used to give my opinion as on every subject, like music, politics, etc. For the last 6 month or maybe more, I don't have the option to opine. I have been writing to every posible source looking for help, nobody ever give me hinch of information.
Yep every time since google networks took over youtube it has just been one problem after the next.
I do like anybody does, I use a nickname, I don't think I have a problem with that, however nobody cares to help. Every thing is changing, fast...nobody cares.

Umm... how do you even post here? All I have is the reply button, not even sure my comment would be seen. Little help please?
Ok, got it.
Anyway, what I wanted to say is that this problem is recurring definitely on the Google English side. I often post comments in other languages, and while there are many people swearing, calling names etc. nobody sees my comments from time to time. So I'm guessing on the English side somebody must've reported my comments, and now I'm simply being screened.
BTW, just to clarify, yes, owners of an establishment can ask you to moderate the speech, some can even ban you from going there. But stalking you like this when you're still inside, I dunno, is really disturbing.
I agree. That's the thing. If this is not just some glitch or bug, and people are being deliberately hidden or screened: There is no notification of that fact. There's no warning, for instance "temporarily disabled for possible spam/harassment" or "this account is disabled for commenting", etc. No. Nothing. It just lets people carry on as though they ARE commenting, and that is just plain wrong and underhand, imo.
Lol, I don't even know if anyone sees this or not.
My comments are not disappearing but they are going to comments posted after 2 and 3 YEARS ~ pages & pages back. Check to see if they are doing that to you. This is being done by YT purposely (I read it from their HELP section) but I do not know what the other criteria is other than this one thing. If you are not a subscriber to the page you are commenting on, then YT believes that your comment should not be in the TOP. If I change comments to "Newer First" then I show up. That defaults to TOP COMMENT though on everyone's page so they will not see my comment. If I put up more than four "share your thoughts" at a time. It will not allow me anymore. Sometimes I have to wait till next day to post. It's ridiculous!! This started happening to me about a month ago. It's GETTING TO BE NOT SO ENJOYABLE being on YT. They are getting people angry left and right especially with those google changes.
Same here, Google FIX YOUR SHIT.
Try using a different search engine when posting a comment. I've just done this via Bing because my comments were disappearing too. Using Bing seems to have worked. Bye google!
I'll try this now, I have over 18 accounts and only 4-5 work which is total garbage.
If everyone here can agree that we are replying to controversial comments, and effectively rendering "talking point debaters" obsolete, then we know what the issue is here. A tedious, but effective, way around this is to just make more G+ accounts. When government owned Google starts ghosting your comments, make a new account until they start ghosting that one. Rinse and repeat. We should not retreat from this. Youtube is claimed to be set up as a public medium for free speech, and sometimes the battle for this right needs to be fought and re-fought.
this is happening to me as well. What does google have to say about this? any Google Moderators, admins etc out there to speak about this? why this is happening? If there is a glitch of some sort? No one working for Google has replied to this post with an explanation, which is very suspicious to me. There is a certain agenda behind this. its very scary that they are now controlling people's opinions, and comments.
THis is happening to me as well. Just too tired of it, my comments are occasionally sort of political, most of them related to my own Country and not the West.
And 98% of my comments never appear to others, and they think I ran away when they asked for sources. And my comments do not appear even when they are not political. And YES, I DID comment regarding JFK or similar couple of times, I too think it's related to the whole thing ...
same here.... it's the beginning of the new rules - the world of totalitarian "Nineteen Eighty-Four"
Are you using the copy/paste function? Perhaps to quote another commenter or save your comment in a file? I just ran a test and have concluded that the use of the copy/paste function in the G+ comments will result in a ghost ban. Multiple uses (2 in my case) result in a ghost ban for the entire comment section of that video's page.
Me to I don't know what to do.
Hmm - it's either a You tube glitch, that they don't seem to care about, or censorship of the worst kind.
I've had exactly the same issues as you, spanning the last 4 weeks, I have raised the issue with Google 3 times, (still awaiting a response), and have had no success either logged in or out.
Like you, I receive notifications on threads I have previously commented on, but on entering that thread again, there's none of my posts - even though there are tagged responses. Nothing worse than when you've spent considerable effort and time to prepare a thread reply!

Even when I have no URLs or even when I don't Copy-Paste anything, my comment does not appear.
It looks like a straight forward censorship to me. Most of my comments never appear, regardless of which account and which channel I use.

It's quite disappointing when you have o reply to some stupid ignorant posts, and your comments are all censored, while the other person keeps barking that you're running away when asked for source! :(
I felt something was not right the moment Google started taking Phone Verification. Come on, Phone Verification for what?? The only reason I use GMail is so that I can use YouTube and comment in it.
Now more than happy to leave Google, I got an 'excuse' I was looking for ...
Same with me, my comments are getting deleted. I was commenting against Zionism, Murica, poverty, wars, lies, i was praising scholars like Norman Finhelstein, i got many thumbs up. They don't want it because i told the truth.
@Adan Spiuracku, same here, I was also commenting against Zionism and US wars, and 9/11.
now my comments don't appear even if I am commenting on monkeys!
now my comments don't appear even if I am commenting on monkeys!
Happens to me sometimes too. Also a recent issue where my comments and many others' are hidden in the comment threads unless you click "view all comments". It's called ghosting or ghost banning. It's the same kind of sneaky underhanded practice that they do over on Reddit and Fark. If your comments get marked as spam, then you're treated by Google as a spammer even if you did nothing wrong. The only way I got this resolved was by using the send feedback option and stating that I've been wrongly marked as a spammer and asked them to look into it. Usually then my new comments start showing up.

I think you're missing what people are saying here. It's not people complaining that they can't say whatever they want, channel owners have always blocked people for saying horrid things, the issue here is that people are being banned not for saying things that violate the TOS but for inconsistent enforcement of it, and that users can censor opinions they disagree with, no matter how well-behaved someone is. It would be like going to the drugstore to buy cold medicine and the guy in front of you is a shady character who buys 100 boxes of it and they let him buy it without issue. And then you politely ask for one box of it, and despite having not bought it within the last two years, having done nothing wrong, and simply because someone in the store pointed at you and made accusations, suddenly ATF comes in, tasers you and arrests you despite the fact that you did nothing remotely illegal or even in violation of the pharmacy's rules.
Thanks .. Made a lot of sense ... .. but I'm sort of screwed with replying in ALL my accounts LOL
Hmm .. my previous reply may seem a bit offensive .. but seriously No sarcasm intended .. all my accounts are screwed .. done with YouTube commenting ... anyway, thanks for the reply ...
I dont know about US law but censoring stuff like this is against the law in germany. If this is actually the case and its not just a anti-spam bot that doesnt realy work.
I used to comment a lot (also some political themes etc.). Now all my replies and as it appears ALMOST all my comment get blocked (when I visit the page with another account I don't see them). WHAT THE HECK is going on YouTube? Are you seriously censoring comments/opinions secretly?
Something really fishy is going on here...
I agree - something SERIOUSLY fishy going on.
I've been debating some very 'out of left field' religious people, desperately trying to justify their weird beliefs, and whenever I post a logical, sensible argument to disprove/discredit their belief system, it disappears within 24-48 hrs!
Nothing political, dangerous or disgusting, just sensible argument. Mind you, the theistic, foul-mouthed, vitriolic rants that I've been addressing still remain!
I've also noticed other posts, similar to mine, also vanishing, as what's left of the posts on a particular thread seem inconsistent, and the thread no longer has a smooth conversational flow.
It's far too much of a coincidence to BE a coincidence, as all posts being deleted seem to have the same content.
If I were a crazy conspiracy nutjob, I'd read something into this!!
It will be interesting to see if this thread remains open for long...

The same happened to me. I was politely discussing with religious people and one day noticed my comments weren't showing up! I suspected because I didn't get answers for a long tim. I guess people running google are very religious...
My biggest problems regarding this issue is:
- Youtube (Google) has not addressed it, despite the growing problem and reports. This suggests they are hiding something.
- The problem seems hindered around the most sensitive of subjects, where free speech is of most importance. (based on the majority of reports here sharing many similarities to content posted on)
- There is no warning, no message, nothing on the users end to suggest thier messages are not appearing for others. This once again implies nefarious tactics are in play.
In sum, nothing about this issue seems an honest mistake or problem with code. The least Google could do is come forward with what causes this, and what can be done differently to avoid the situation, or what they are doing to remedy it. But, if the stance of Google is to merely silence an opposing view some don't agree with within thier business model, then it's understandable then why they simply are not doing this; by all appearances outright ignoring the problem.
While I haven't come to the conclusion this is in fact what's happening, the facts suggest cronyism and an immorality is at play.
This is happening to me too - but only on one of my YouTube accounts.. or rather a sub-channel of this account. I found it odd nobody was ever replying to me, logged out and noticed my comments weren't showing up even seconds after they were posted. I've never spammed, I've never attacked anyone (well, people take offense to different things but I never deliberately try to insult someone)...
But to respond to your post, Techgump. I've very rarely heard Google address ANY of the issues on their site, so I don't think they're hiding anything... they just suck at communicating with their community. But granted, they probably get a million feedback submissions per hour so... somewhat understandable.
And I can't say the problem seems to be related to specific topics. I've had this issue talking about movies, talking about video games, talking about politics, etc... doesn't matter what it was - this page for whatever reason just has never been able to have its comments showed publicly. I can't remember a time where it was ever mentioned by someone else EXCEPT when I make a comment. That is, when I comment on a video it shows, but my replies to others' comments do not show. Not sure why this is.
I'm not remotely happy with the situation either, but I don't want to cry conspiracy theory. I don't think it's deliberate censorship just because... there are millions of comments posted every minute. There's no way they have people filtering through all of those just to shut up a few people who might disagree with them... nevermind that I see plenty of people arguing the same points as me, so it wouldn't make sense for me to be muted but not them, lol. It's possible it's an issue with reporting as spam that automatically blacklists someone... I'd like to think the community is above flagging people they disagree with as spam, but I know that's just wishful thinking.
I think part of the problem is that the thumbs up/thumbs down system on YouTube doesn't work... like at all. Ever since the Google+ merge the thumbs down button literally does nothing - it doesn't reduce the score. The thumbs up/down buttons are just there for show but really the system is +1, and there simply isn't a -1 function (which there should be for YouTube comments). I get the feeling since people can't "bury" asshole comments with thumbs down they resort to flagging as spam instead... but I could be wrong.
I've noticed for months that my comments somehow are being filtered. Here is what I think. If you make comments on a channel and they don't like the comments, they have the power to mark you for spamming, or something, and it effects your comment-making ability on all channels. I've sent feedback several times, with no response. Here's the thing. I can sometimes make a comment on a thread, and I know it's being seen because I get a response. Then the next comment is not seen by anyone, not just because nobody responded, but it's not seen because the next person says the exact thing I said and gets a response.
I thought I was going crazy, so, I started making comments to check, then I would immediately log off of my account, go back to that same video and look for my comment and it wouldn't be there. I would contact Google about it with no result. If a certain channel wants to screw your comment-making ability throughout Youtube, I now believe they can, based on my experience. I can go to a video that has tons of comments that I think are vile, and nothing I would ever even think of saying, even behind a keyboard, but because a certain channel didn't like what you said to them, they screw you over. If they have that capability, they should have proof, and not only that, you should be notified in particular what you have done. I checked my account standing and everything is good, so...... I initially thought Firefox was conflicting with a change Google made, but now I am convinced some channel did it. I'm not saying all of my comments are not viewable, and I don't know what the criteria is for them to be viewable, but it seems like low-key channels can see my comments, and fast-paced channels can't. At any rate, it's annoying and disparaging.

Holy crap, I hadn't thought about it but it's true. Channel owners certainly do have the ability to designate someone as a spammer rather than just ghost ban them. Holy crap, they weren't kidding when they said channel owners now have more power than before. Except, of course, over trolls who are savvy enough to figure it out and turn it into a virtual game of whack-a-mole by making endless accounts. But that's scary because they used to just be able to block you from their channel, but now they can potentially block people from all of YouTube.
I noticed with me it's completely random. I've been ghosted on little channels before while my comments show up ok on many big channels (such as on the Jogwheel channel where Jon himself often replies to and thumbs up my comments).

I'm going to keep digging into this. I don't call people names, nor do I even discuss issues involving political, racial, religious, sexual preferences, I don't bully anyone, I don't spam, I don't stalk anyone, but yet I'm ghost banned, and until I found this thread, I had never heard of it. I'm not saying I'm perfect, but I have good standings on my channel, so it doesn't make sense.
I've come to the conclusion after reading through this thread, and my own thoughts, that one of these two things happened. A particular channel deemed me as a spammer, which I am not, but if effects me throughout Youtube, or, there is a problem on Youtube with the "Reply" tab on some people and they are unaware it is disabled. They will ask a question, or make a comment you want to comment back on, and it's impossible. If you look on a video that has tons of comments, you will see many of them. The thing is, when you are logged onto YT, and make a comment, the "REPLY" tab shows as being there, just like the comments made if you have been ghost banned. If you make a comment, the only way to tell if your Reply is missing, is log off and immediately go back to that video, find your comment, and look for yourself. Google is 50 shades of messed up.
Anyway, I made a word pad to inform as many of these people as I could, that they have that problem, and most people that answer me back, ask how to fix it, and I tell them how to do it in Google+. I have a suspicion that many of the people I'm trying to help, (the ones tht never reply back) mark the notice as spam? I don't know, but that was my original problem that nobody was able to reply to me, thanks to someone that messaged me on my discussion page, I was made aware. This probably has many mistakes as I'm tired. The YT link I left 3 posts back, ignore it. That guy isn't happy people are leaving posts on his video with the same problem. His particular problem is that he gets notifications in his inbox and also e-mails saying a comment was made on a video, and he goes there and no comment. That right there proves that Google is deleting comments they deem as spam or whatever, and not leaving control in the hands of the channel. It's a sad mess and I wish YouTube was never sold to Google....bad move.

It's nice to know that finally more and more people are becoming aware of it. Whether or not anything is done, remains to be seen, but this thread was started months ago....nothing yet...
A few days ago I made my first youtube account. None of the comments I make are showing up in public. My comments were not offensive or political whatsoever, so I guess it has nothing to do with spam or freedom of speech. It looks to me there is just something wrong with the systems.
It has to do with something, otherwise nobody's comments would show up. We just need to find a forum where we can post instances and details (Like what browser we used, did we originate the comment, how many posts were made, etc) I can start a comment, and it will be seen most times. but if I post in someone else's thread, the majority of time (not always) the comment will NOT be seen. I was in a thread this morning back and forth with the same person, then all of a sudden I guess I overshot my quota for the day, and the comments started ghosting. (like maybe i was being seen as a spammer with too many posts)I then went to the person's Discussion page and started to comment back and forth from there and ending in their Inbox where no interruptions occured. It's funny that the topic being discussed was "Youtube comments don't show up on videos" but don't do there because that guy? accused me of being off-topic on his video, (look at his title lol.) He said the topic was about where are the messages that he was getting notified about, but never made it to his video...then he told me he would make us a video we could discuss our particular problem in and then proceeded to name it exactly the same as the original video he had, with the exception of adding "STILL" to the title...perhaps I just need to leave Youtube...altogether....forever...LOL
I am going through the exact same situation and so are countless other people.
In my case, I think it is the creator's use of "Comment Moderation Tools" which is all related to how you post your comments and if it affects the creator negatively in any way.
Comment Moderation allows the creator to:
Remove comments
Ban user from channel
Hold comments for approval
Use automated filters
Use spam filter
Approve and ban users
Blacklist user
https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/111870
The other reasons for it happening listed in this forum are all valid and could be any combination of them. There are even other explanations all over the web which are correct too.
I would try creating another account and post a similar comment written in different context and see if it works.
Good luck everyone.
My profile that's linked with the core Google account has no issues - I can post on any video, any comment and my comments show up just fine. But on any of the additional pages attached to the account/additional channels, my comments show up but not my replies to others' comments.
These pages have been phone number verified.
I've never spammed, used hatespeech, etc.
The problem persists regardless of the video or channel.
Basically I just cannot reply to others' comments no matter what when using my pages/additional channels.
@Ehiebert .....there is no rhyme or reason here until someone figures it out.
Remember when G+ first married the 2 together and everyone was bitching when forced to concede or GTFO...many users were copy/pasting that stick man BOB around, well, I participated in a few of those *looks sheepishly* but would something like that label one as a spammer, (probably) or like on pasting a partial YT video link in a post.... algorithms, or just an independent user flagging someone and G+ being OK with that, or a particular channel having a grudge with a user labeling him as a spammer and it effects him site-wide. Just so many combinations and things I've not even thought of yet. It's frustrating because we weren't given a chance, they aren't doing anything about it that I can see and they have been aware of it since the end of last year. It's like G+ really doesn't want a good communication system, even look at this, there should be a tab to reply on someone's comment, but, no. Frustrated is an understatement. Why weren't channels notified that they need to go through their spam because 9 times out of 10 it isn't spam, but it need approved by the channel they commented on, or it's never seen. Personally, I'm tired discussing this when it goes nowhere fast. If this has a lot of mistakes, I'm sorry, it's 3:30 am and I'm tired....in more ways then one, and then topping it off, some guy told me I was off-topic discussing this stuff on his video on YT when the name of the video is this: "Youtube comments don't show up on videos" and everyone else there is discussing it. lol His complaint was he was getting notified of existing comments via his email and he would go to the video and no comment existed. He could see part of the comment in his notification box?but he couldn't get to it....so that's proof G+ is deleting comments and because their notification system works faster than their deleting system, we have proof of the once existing comment. Ugh goodnight..a woman's work is never done.

I FUCKING KNEW IT!!!!!! They are killing my voice!!!I make a few astute observations and nod they are gone?But the crap comments stay?
Exactly. Apparently they favour short, dumb, but in some cases humourous comments.
Comments that have been carefully thought out, actually contain some depth and intellectuality to it, and truly express one's opinion are being filtered out.
I'm quite certain google+ automatically recognizes keywords, how many characters, how long it took to type, etc, each comment and filters it out all before the creator decides what to do with the comment or even ban/blacklist the individual.
Such a shame this is.
I just got an inbox from a channel I recently found that I love. It's not the length of your comments. It's the fact you've been labeled a spammer and if you maanage to get a few of your messages through their filters daily, consider yourself lucky. I just came here after confirmation from this new channel via his inbox. Rest assured, it's not a political channel, this guy just plays guitar, and my comments range from 1-2 sentences at most, yet this is what I got from him confirming what I already knew:
Re:thanks
I know, whats up with that comment thing? I got the updates when you commented on some video, then went to that video and couldnt see your comment, I looked in the spam area and there it was. Then I approved the message but still it didnt come up on the regular message list. I dont know why.
Anyway, I assure you I did read each one of them, although I was unable to answer to each one because of that spam issue.
Again, thanks for your support, its an honor that youre willing to see all my humble videos xD some of them kinda suck, but I appreciate it anyways.
See you around,
Have a nice day!

So you see, it's not some long thought out copy/paste comment you made, in and of itself, but just the fact you carry this spammer label from you site-wide. We have no recourse either, because the majority of individuals that have this issue, aren't even aware of it yet. It's a sad state of affairs...

I have the same problem This is bullshit I used to get tons of replies and likes on my comments now it seems no one see's them Youtube have ghosted my comments, this is against net nutrallity wtf? How can they do this?
I get the emails in my Gmail inbox showing a comment was made on my YT video, but when I go to the video, the comments won't show up. Anyone know what's causing this? I can't reply to my viewers. We're talking non political videos of mine, makeup, relationship stuff, etc.

You have to go into your "Likely spam" folder and "approve" the messages. You should be doing this on a daily basis, because I think after a certain time, the messages auto-delete. Perhaps G+ deletes them immediately, I don't know. In the case of the guitarist answering me via inbox, some messages can't be approved, because IMO, they are completed deleted off the site. Ask your people that comment, to log off of their account, and go back to the video they posted on, and see if their comment can be seen. If they can't see their comment, tell them they are ghost banned site-wide on YouTube and the majority of their comments will never be seen, then tell them to come over here...misery loves company...
Also, tell them that they will be able to see their own comments, but nobody else can, and tell them to look for the ghost banning videos on youtube and read the comments.
Recap: LOL If an account is labeled as a spammer, they are ghost banned and the majority of their comments go to the spam box. They will never make it to the video unless you approve them. NEVER, but yet they will be able to see their comments so as not to tip them off that they are banned.
The reason you get email notifications saying there is a comment on such and such video, is because the G+ notification system is faster than the deleting system, so it's proof right there, when you get that email, that they are removing them. The comment existed.
+Silly Vanilli, I'm starting to see the same thing; which is the opposite of what I was experiencing a month ago (the reason why I first posted in this thread). Now I can't read anyone's else response expect either by the e-mail I get, or I also see them in the upper right-hand corner where the Bell icon is (when you're logged in to Google+ or YouTube). What is going on with Google? They screwed up the simple print function in Google Maps and now this. What else are they screwing up.
@Demkey62
I don't see any post of yours here other then the one above mine.
I have zero answers about anything. All I can do is post observances I have seen regarding my own account in hopes that someone has an answer. I don't even know how widespread the problems are. Maybe everyone here is just considered a spammer forever and what we are experiencing is only a problem to us, and the system is working for them the exact way they want. In essence we are silenced, or the channels that are reporting they are getting messages on their videos they can't see because they've been sent to the "Likely Spam" folder and that's just the way it's going to be from now on. They want us to give up and stop making comments. I don't know. Is this where I wave my own white flag and stop commenting? I seem to be posting too many comments on here and the majority visit this thread 1 time, and that's it. Every time I come across someone on Youtube that seems to understand "the problem," I contact them via their Inbox, and I never hear from them. That's it Google, you win?
In this thread even, we should be able to reply to a specific person and they are guaranteed to see it. Well, we can't, therefore no information can even be shared. It's what they want, to keep us in the dark.

One thing I've done that always seems to help is to use the "send feedback" option at the bottom of the YouTube page. I politely explain that I've been mistakenly marked as a spammer and how it's hurting me as a YouTuber, and within hours I'm un-ghosted, and sometimes even previously ghosted replies will appear. I know this isn't much but it's the only thing I know that sort of helps.
I think this company deserves to be destroyed, as fast as possible because now is just a big pest and from year to year growing in strength
Bottom line is that some sort of algorithm is deciding what is "spam", and over half of our comments cannot be viewed by others. Even in the middle of a conversation, others will stop seeing your comments. More than half the time, or in some cases 100% of the time, ONLY YOU are seeing your own comments!
What perplexes me is why would any company want to cut down traffic to their website? I mean, comments are what keeps people coming back up to 100's of time to the same video. Without commenting there is no community, and no fun!
This is what I observed last night. I watched a video that had 7 million hits. I commented but it went way back after a YEAR but doesn't show to others. My comments are ghosted 100%! When I went to check the order under TOP COMMENTS which it now defaults to ~ the comments were all out of whack regarding dates. No rhyme or reason that I could figure & I thought ~ how can it be this bad? Many people's newer comments are going way out of order ~ even YEARS behind. Top comments did not even have any "likes" so what makes them a Top comment? I'm starting to think there may be another big change coming. I'll bet most who posted on that song do not realize it b/c it looks right on our own pages. My theory is they want everything via GOOGLE+. I have sent feedback more than several times but no reply. My comments get deleted here also so maybe it's me!!
Unbelievable! I've been on this thread before, and now all my comments are gone - so today I created a new account, went to videos I'd previously commented on, and ALL posts of mine have disappeared!
Google - stop your bullshit and fix this problem!
When I sit back and think of the hours now wasted, researching facts and typing responses, only to have them summarily removed, I'm bloody furious!!

I've noticed a new thing as of today. When people are replying to a comment I made and I view it via the bell notification, there is now the alert that some comments were hidden as spam and I have the option of restoring them (making them visible to others I guess). Which I did. Because none of them were spam! They were simply people partaking of a conversation.
Would it not be better to simply bring back the captchas for suspected spammers.
Alistair, I'm glad you brought up the issue of spend allot of time researching a topic so that you can intelligently remark on a topic. I do the same thing, and find it frustrating when my comments were disappearing too. And although I haven't seen that happening much anymore I have seen other people's comments disappearing lately. I enjoy debating issues and to see this happening is such a waste of time and frustrating. Google is really screwing up lately.
Happened here too, new comments no showing up (when logged out). So nobody can actually see what I'm saying.
Youtube is total crap.
Everyone should ban together and mark every comment "spam" that they see in videos. This should speed up the process of a fix (if it ever happens).
@Carol Zingale
I only see 1 other of your comments here, posted on May 8th and can be found on Page 2....go to the bottom here and click on the drop-down arrow for page 2 and you will see your post there.
@ImportantYouTubeUser
OK I'll go one further, why don't they just delete the comment period? What is the point of only you viewing it? Why aren't we just outright banned? Do they really think people are that stupid that they won't eventually figure out that nobody else is seeing the comment but themselves? The term ghost banning is being thrown around a lot, but there is also sand boxxing. Once you are labeled as a spammer or some other label they have placed upon you, they want you to keep making comments so they can monitor your activity? LOL...why? Are we some government spies or something? Google is not going to do anything about this because this is what they want. They want to silence us AND they don't want us sharing information. Look how they have this set up...you don't even have a "REPLY" tab to draw attention to a specific poster's comment. How many channels do you think actually know they should check the "Likely Spam" folder for "good" messages, and then they have to approve them for them to be seen. The majority of channels don't have the time to go through that folder. The label "SPAMMER" shoulld be put in the hands of each individual channel to determine if said person is a spammer, NOT IN THE HANDS OF GOOGLE who does not read one of the messages thrown into the "Likely Spam" folder...

Got the same problem. Google should have left well enough alone. Youtube was doing fine until Google took over. Not blaming anyone, just saying. *I really don't want Google men in the black suits to come after me cuz gawd forbid we say something wrong to upset the holy one....*
I felt I had to come back here even after having left a post earlier. I just had the ultimate cake topper. Someone left me a "thanks" on my discussion page after I helped them a few days ago by leaving them instructions on their "Discussion" page on how to fix yet another G+ problem.... I was able to +1 their thanks to acknowledge them and I left them back a "You're welcome" kind of response, Guess what....my very own comment responding back to them on my very own channel was ghosted. Are you freaking serious? I sent Google+ feedback, but I doubt it will help, and besides that, if that does help, the feedback will probably only address the screenshot I sent of this incidence and not address the whole problem. It's a damn train wreck...I'm going to go gray...
Seems to me that although Google must be well aware of the issue by now, there's been no indication that there is a fix on the way - so it suggests to me that the problem is not one of software, but of Google deliberately censoring comments.
Any other service would have advised its members by now if they had genuine concerns about their product - so it must be planned and orchestrated.
I wonder if we all started flagging others' posts as spam, on every video we view, how long it would take for Google to notice and act?
On the other hand I'm afraid it might end up making YouTube where all you can do is watch videos and there's no feedback of any kind. Google would be hurting themselves if they did that since you would only be able to comment about the videos via Google+, which would eliminate the need for it since you can basically do that on Facebook right now, since the one thing that caused a lot of people to sign up for Google+ (to continue having the ability to comment on videos) would be a moot point. What we need are some of the big content creators to complain so Google feels there's a chance this might hurt their bottom line. As much as I hate to admit it, complaints from a small channel with say 21K subscribers aren't all that important to them since there's thousands of them. But complaints from one of the big guys like daneboe, Fred, AVGN, or smosh would get their attention. And the sad thing is, I'm sure a lot of the big channels with over 500K subscribers are completely unaware of this problem since they don't have time to go through all their videos with a fine toothed comb.
"nationalizing", you say. That's completely of the grid of what passes for civilized conversation nowadays. The only legitimate question is "how much more should be privatized?". And by shutting us up without even telling us about it, they can imagine they are maintaining their illusions. So outrageous.
I thought I was going crazy as well... so they are purple, ah? o.O
Yep. I'm getting the same thing too. "Linked Comment" Oh really? Where is it then? This is quite clearly a BUG because the replies I've given are friendly & on the topic of discovering new music. =) Nothing wrong with that!
I'm afraid that this Google+ Bullshit is just far too convoluted. Especially when you have 2 accounts; each with Youtube AND Google+. The whole thing is a mess.

guys this was happening to me too.all you gotta do is turn your ADBLOCK OFF youtube.now it's working again.
@kyang lee0
I was hoping that was the problem, but it's not. It has no bearing on whether or not a comment gets seen by anyone other than yourself. I totally got rid of adblock. It wasn't working on YT anyway. I still have the comment problem.....so.....

i found the problem but its not because its glitches or youtube is deleting comments……its google+'s "great" f***ing comet system and people can mark your posts as spam and they are deleted so the youtuber has so go through comments and "unflag" them as spam,which most you tubers are too lazy to do. heres where i got my proof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVrkgvbhJlY
I am replying to you because you are passionate and appear to be awake while I see so many sleeping. I posted a video 2 months ago and the second day it had 301 views then stopped at 301 views ever since. I do take it personally and agree with you. I think you would like this video which you can check out here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8hPR14R7Sc
If you do like it please turn others onto it. So what can we do about youtube/google and get our videos to be treated like all others? How do we get the view count to show the real number? I am open to any suggestions as it is important that it doesn't look like no one wants to view it. I was hoping it would go viral. Well at least in America. Thanks
Same here. I can see them while logged in, but log-out and go back to the page and they aren't visible.
The video views thing is a feature added by Google to prevent people from hitting refresh to keep gaining views. I think maybe one of your viewers went back and watched it a lot (which means they really liked it). From 0-301 views any view will count but only new viewers count in the statistics, but from 302 onward only new viewers add to it. According to the video stats it has 138 views, but the views are picking up so when that catches up you'll have 302 views.
Guys, if you have Twitter (& other social media) get on there and tweet the hell out of this situation. This insidious practice needs to be brought to greater attention as it appears that currently only a small percentage are aware of the problem.
Youtube/G+ needs to bring back captchas and/or find a new way of dealing with spammers and - importantly - WARN us if our comments are not going to be shown.
That sounds plausible. Do you have any proof or confirmation from Google?
Haha. The google guys deleted there replys to my comments. They said google is under no legal obligation and can do whatever they want with out comments. Guess someone relized that thats basicly saying they are deleting comments because of our opinions
Comments blocked totally - going to spread the word - voiced against 5 year old kids being groomed in youtube, among other political things. How come heterosexuals can't go to a 5 year old kid and ask him about man & woman relationship but a gay can ask them about man & man - I mean both groups should not do it - Google is backing gays with fake views too.
Agenda detected :) (Atleast this comment may be seen)
I don't think that's it. I'm very progressive leaning and I've been suffering the comment ghosting plague too
'Fraid not. I turned off Adblock and any other program which may have been interfering, and my comments are still missing.
I've even checked with others - who also cannot see my posts. This is just blatant censorship by Google...and it's BULLSHIT!
I've sent complaint after complaint to Google, with no fix and even worse - no response, so it's also very clear that they not only know about it, but are more than likely the instigators.
It must be 1984 - and Big Brother - all over again.
Mind you, I can still post visible comments here and there - but anything to do with religious concepts is apparently verboten!

I agree if they are blocking our comments, then at least send me an email and tell me why, what comment did I make that set them off.
Started happening to me after discussing religion.
I have noticed a lot of atheists are banned. I have no idea why.

We need somebody to go to Google's headquarters and blow'em up back to the stone age!
I don't know, what the fuck, but...
This is one of my previous accounts, this is not the main account in which I use.
I am currently signed in with this account through TOR, a web browser which bounces encrypted packets through different ip addresses.
This is what I did where I can finally reply to comments, I am however unsure what the problem is, and it is clear that this is not Google's intentions as otherwise, it is likely that this thread would've been removed.
If you have an Android device linked to Google, you can sign up for a Google account there.
Reset your android device to factory settings.
Do it again.
Go to Google Play, and make a new account from there, join Google+ and such. Note, I made my new Google account on the android with 3G, *not* Wifi, also don't provide a backup email address, such as Outlook.
Sign into your Google account with TOR browser on a different ip, it will ask for you to confirm that it is you with a security question.
Change the ip, sign in again.
Repeat.
You cannot comment on YouTube using TOR by the way, so switch to a safe and secure web browser, such as FireFox with addons.
For some reason, everytime I use different ip addresses to sign my account into, the comment do show themselves.
I tried signing in with a new account without TOR, and surprise, the comments does not show.
By the way, clear everything, use AdvancedSystemCare and find a key online to upgrade it to pro, get CCleaner, wipe all the caches and cookies and such, go to Internet Explorer and remove all files or images, uninstall all web browsers and remove any Google files you can find, after you removed everything, you can reset your computer if you wish (bit extreme...), then, install TOR through IE, then FireFox.
Make a habbit of HTTPS and private browsing, there is an addon which is HTTPS everywhere available for Firefox.
I'm not sure what the problem is, but if I didn't know any better, the ip have been blacklisted.
IP blocking would be 100% of the time.
My posts aren't all blocked, all of the time.
Only clowns use Android. It's made by google.
It's bad enough using google and youtube.
I made a new channel and it worked for 1 post! It felt good to speak my mind on a topic. Then I tried again and it was ghosted... wtf/
This has been working for me:
Reply to someone with "banana potatoe".
Log off and check if your comment is there.
Normally this kind of stupid comment shows up.
Then edit your post and write what you really mean to say.
Voilá!

Pathetic - can't reply to any comment on you tube. Google cannot shape public opinion by deleting comments as it pleases. This is illegal and threat to security to different countries of the world. In USA, you can sue them for money because they hushed you up under "spam" and tried to shape public opinion.
Make a group & sue Google for money. If they have a terms of service essentially giving them rights to use your opinions (comments) as they please - it is even MORE OF A CRIME lol. :)

Please cite the law being broken (you won't be able to because it's not illegal).

YouTube is under no legal obligation to display your comments.

Something which confirmed my belief that this is probably a glitch is this: Me and another person replied to the same comment, when I log out, his and my comment does not appear.
When I log back in, his and mine appear.
When I log back in, his and mine appear.
WTF is happening seriously?
I have the exact same problem, this issue has been known for months already and no one bats an eye.
WTF Google?
This same issue is happening to me. I can comment on posts and they will appear to be there but when I log out or sign into another account they don't exist. This is real frustrating. I have tried four different channels and it's happening to all four. I would really like them to fix this issue. Anything I comment on, the comments just don't appear or exist to other people
Same here. fixplzkthx
I can't help but notice not one comment from a google representative has appeared in this entire thread. So it seems that the only solutions are thus;
no longer comment on youtube
or as someone has already suggested, start hitting the spam button on everyone else's comments until it builds a tidal wave of angry users that google will indeed notice.
Of course the latter is not very nice to others, not to mention the connection between these problems might not be apparent to google's people as to why all these messages are being labelled spam. But it's not helping google's public relations any by not addressing this. You guys are making this forum become useless on top of it.
This is only the second time I've ever used this place. Probably the last. What a placating joke.
Well . . . I can say for channel builders/producers, this started happening for comments awaiting approval since around middle of June. The work around to this is to go to yet another new layout/gimmick by Google (can't they stop fiddling around w/ the layout?) and under the Community category, Comments is listed first and on that page is a field up top showing "Held For Review".
It's both a bug and deliberate censorship as to prevent debating in comment sections.
Just want to tell that I have the same issue, for many times. You are not the only one.
My previous comment was about comparison of two games. No foul language, no offensive wordings, no advertisement. I believe that there is a random algorithm which deletes comment for less active users.
I recently had a similar problem, where one of my post was not showing to public at Youtube, but when I logged to google, it appeared just to me.
The issue was the length of the reply (97 lines), so I split into 2 posts and worked! I don`t know the max line counts allowed by YT, but definitively this is an issue.

This happened to me too!
Mine happened to this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ormkuxSyhv0
And all I said was the video's a bit shaky though and this comment stayed well for few days

And then that happened -_-
I will post the comment i see when i logged in too
Same crap here!! Pro Nazi type comments and radicals of all sorts will have loads of thumbs up, but my commonsense comment in the middle will have nothing!! Its clear censorship.
I've just witnessed someone spew eleven (and counting) consecutive posts of absolute drivel ("I iz at wat up u sub me pls") and no spam filter kicking in? I also regularly see one person on a particular channel making dozens of hateful barely literate trolling remarks at the channel owner, still no spam filter kicking in? And yet the people who seem to be affected by this are the people who can actually hold a conversation and have something worthwhile to add to a discussion or thoughts on a video.
I've gone beyond perplexed and into legitimate anger now. Also, I'm not sure if it is politically motivated, since I've seen both ends of the spectrum claiming they were censored after speaking against liberals/conservatives. And personally, apart from one time ages ago, I never comment on anything political. It's literally about games or music 90% of the time, and yet still regularly get hit with the "you're spam!" ghostban. So unless Google has a grudge against Radiohead fans.... haha.

I've been having this problem for MONTHS and nobody at Youtube gives a damn.
So unbelievably frustrating when I take out my time to write a polished, well thought out response and "post" it, only to see that it hasn't in fact been posted for anyone else to see.
I'm beyond getting angry about this now. There is nothing we can do about it and Youtube do not give the slightest of fucks about the censorship it is propagating.
My video had 23 comments and just today they are gone. We were having a heated religious discussion and all these comments went away.
I notice in video manager I can see that it still shows 23 comments, but there is no way to access the comments from that area.
This sure takes all the fun out if it.
Would the comments disappear if anyone hit the spam button next to the comment, and then return after youtube reviews it? I just can't figure it out.
I think what's happening is that since you can't thumbs down a comment, people will instead mark everyone they disagree with as spam. I initially thought the broken thumbs down button was an accident they were too lazy to fix, but now I think it was by intent because they know people flag stuff they can't downvote. And that way everyone's comments end up ghosted, and thus, censored.
Happening to me too when I posted an anti-zionist comment. I didn't even say anything bad. I just posted a link to a post that was informative. Yet my comment was hidden silently. And the only way someone can tell if your comment was posted was to log out and better still, check using a different browser.
Google and Facebook are zionist-backed organizations supporting the zionist state of Israel.
It's not a legal infringement of freedom of speech we're talking about, it's a moral one.
Just because Google has a legal right to do what ever they want on their network, that doesn't mean we can't call them out for limiting our freedom of speech.

Agreeing to a TOS doesn't excuse unethical practices. Individual companies either allow for freedom of speech, or they don't. It's quite obvious that Google does not, and should be condemned for it.
I don't think it has anything to do with politics. People on all side of the political spectrum have been suffering from ghost bans. As far as the link goes, a lot of links are banned for some reason (yet curiously Google allows us to put links in comments). What can happen is since the downvote button is broken, people downvote others by marking their comments as spam. And as a result they end up labeled a spammer and ghost banned sitewide. That's why I avoid all political, religious, current events, even sports related discussions anymore.

Haha, you are absolutely right. I have this same ridiculous problem, and like everyone else here, leave long well written and thought out comments the majority of the time. I tried commenting again with "ham and eggs", and it went through! Youtube has got to be one of the biggest pieces of crap on the internet.
Is it comment length? I just wrote a reply (it wasn't long but still required the "read more") and... nothing. Not visible. However it was a reply to someone, and they alone at least obvioulsy saw it because they replied to me. I replied back with a simple "I don't know" and that IS visible. This is mere minutes between the comments, one showing and one not. If I had been ghosted for however long it is surely the "I don't know" reply would not have shown either.
This is so random. Something is obviously going wrong in the system. Why are there no answers from Google about this issue?

I don't think it's comment length. I've had trolls write long-winded, incoherent pontifications of nonsense that went through, and I've seen short replies get ghosted. I think it might be what I said before, people who don't like the new Google+ thing are more likely to be ghosted than those who love it. I've seen really immature comments posted from Google+ like "choo choo" that were the top comment (and it wasn't even a train video).
Well . . . a while back within this thread, I had placed an update for other producers - or just all users in general - how the comments have been moved to a "DASHBOARD" viewable there on the left side. Issue 1: Why can't YT stop fiddling around w/ the general layout of things? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Issue 2: Of the few bad comments received say in like . . . last 4 months, they all came through, albeit staged in the "Waiting For Approval" category despite some of the saltier language. I daresay those of you experiencing this perceived censorship issue could nonetheless leave a treatise of a long, thought-out comment and it would go through. Think of it as a beta-test but please try and be kind as the "OMSR" format is not everybody's cup of tea.
Well hopefully this helps someone. I noticed today I had the same problem, not with all comments but with a specific reply I made. The thing is, the original comment poster had also replied to someone else who replied to his post, and when I went to reply I clicked reply on the original poster's reply instead of clicking reply on his original post. For some reason that comment wouldnt show when i logged in on other accounts to check it. But when I deleted that comment and just replied to the guy's original post it did show up. So that could be a bug.
Three weeks ago I made a new account. I've been making sure to leave comments that people give thumbs up's on, and few thumbs downs. I comment on viral videos with positive messages were I get 100+ plus thumbs up etc. All my comments have been working fine on dozens of videos. I've not noticed even one ghosting. I'm guessing Youtube is setup up on a credit thing. Thumbs down don't appear to the public, but behind the scenes maybe they count. Like golf, if you're below par, that's good, but if you're above par, no good. At the end of the day, why wont a Google employee just jump on here and tell us all whats going on.
Me too!
It's now gotten to the stage where I'm firmly of the belief that this is a deliberate ploy by Google, to censor posts they do not want.
It's been happening now for so long, and so many of us have emailed Google to advise of the issue, yet no-one has recieved a response from them, nor have they issued a statement that they are aware of it.
Any organization that was unaware of an issue would have reacted well before this.
Clearly then, this is Google's attempt to manipulate the forums in the manner they wish - to direct public opinion the way THEY see fit.
I for one will have nothing more to do with them, and will cease to use any programs associated with Google.

I have had a couple of weird successes.
When I see that a post is missing, I log out. I then click a few posts at the end the thread. I log back in. I click a few posts at the end of the thread. I log out. Click again. Log in. And I can then see my post.
I have not figured out the exact process yet, but it appears that something along the lines of the above might work.
Because it seems at times, they're too busy fiddling w/ layout of the channel display and the order and/or sorting of things. Notice how the avatar has kept changing resolution, and things of this nature that are so important.
This happens because YT works like Yahoo Answers these days. A bunch of trolls maybe reporting your comments as spam or you may have been blocked by the channel owner.
"you may have been blocked by the channel owner." No, as sometime commnets will appear on the same videos, while other times not. I try reporting rude creatures using the spam tool, yet they don't get removed. It's got to be based on thumbs ups. If your account has more ups than downs, then I have more luck.
Simple solution, hey Google team members, why wont you just answer the ghost question?
I hate this s@it too. and its funny. on my pc i see comments. on laptop not. Whyy?..
Reminds me more of Reddit. As broken as YA's reporting system was, at least they had the decency to tell you when your answer was flagged and removed. But I agree with the sentiment, I had one answer removed that the asker picked as BA. Actually I'd say it became like YA in spring 2010 (like April or May) when they replaced the star system with thumbs up/down on a video. I liked being able to decide if a video was awesome (5 stars), very good (4 stars), decent (3 stars), so-so (2 stars), or bad (1 star). YouTube IMO was at its best in 2008-2009 (we can include early 2010 in there too).

I think it's based on thumbs up and subscriber totals. Good luck trying to remove a rude comment by someone with 100,000 subscribers, a'int gonna happen. But some little guy with less than 100 subs and only a couple thumbs up makes an easy "victim" for trolls. It may not even be subscribers that grant immunity like that but Google+ circles.

@silly vanilli yeah i came to the conclusion that adblock is not the problem lol fuck this shit.
Got the same problem. It looks like the comments are sorted and only those which they want to keep, stay. In my particular situation, I am trying to convey a message to make people with different lifestyles to understand that real christians don't hate any people, that we love them and will always treat them with dignity and respect, BUT we are not going to teach our kids that a different lifestyle than that taught in the Bible by Our Creator is okay. I also reported a comment using profanity, which is supporting different homosexual lifestyles, and it hasn't been removed yet! It makes me believe there is an agenda going on.
Ummm . . . then go the Channel Operator themselves to take it down manually. YT will not step in unless the profanity is running amok, e.g., plenty of it, and inter-laced w/ ethnism and/or suggestive violence. Then, they will get the lead out, including taking the entire channel down of the offending commentor. But, a little profanity? Can't bank on that alone. Flag ≠ Automatic Response.
Yes, and have you also noticed THIS -- When I am signed into my account, my comments on Youtube can be seen only by me.
When I sign out, they can no longer be found.
I've tried searching for my own comments from multiple browsers and have also made sure that I re-order the comments to show "most recent" since the comments were all within a day.
I've looked online and cannot find anyone describing the same thing.
WHY on Earth would youtube make me think all my comments on there, including placing ALL I type in the "top comments", when in reality absolutely no one can see a read one word I've said.
It seems that if I say something really neutral or meaningless, then my comment is ALWAYS displayed.....really sickening.
I don't see how this can be a glitch.
I may as well put a message in a bottle. Such a nasty trick.
They must have had fun coming up with this in the boardroom. I would rather be told my comment was deleted and why.....oh, but gee, then I would KNOW I was living in a police-state. Maybe they realize that the majority of people will never figure it out.
"Start looking for a youtube alternative now guys.
Youtube is no longer a valid in any form for any type of social interaction.
In a system where you cant even tell whether or not your comments show up, there is no sense in commenting."

Has anyone created an alternative to YouTube, with freedom of speech?
"My short, stupid comments on a comedy video or something always show up fine, but my longer, well thought out comments never appear publicly"
Exactly, when I post something meaningless, it's ALWAYS there.
What a sick world we live in, where corporate multi-billionaire
giants stomp out independent and heartfelt thoughts and words.
They are penalizing us and corralling us back into our cages.
Youtube videos offering mindless pop-culture garbage go viral with
20+ million views, while truly educational, soul-inspiring and revolutionary
videos remain on the fringe.
Only the agenda driven videos, which maintain the beloved
status-quo, are supported by these monolithic entities.
It seems that their agenda for the 'free thinkers' is to cause us such
discouragement as we find our well-formed comments deleted, that
we will become afraid to offer a dissenting opinion and
simply give up.
As we cave into the peer pressure around us, we become nothing
more than docile, obedient zombies who might actually begin doing
some of the "shepherding" of the masses.....what a huge bonus for them!
And this, in my view, is actually just the tip of the iceberg.
same thing for me!
ok it's 16th August 2014 and I still cannot see ANY youtube comments. WTF???!!
This has been an issue for over 1 year now. When are they going to fix this. I have NO ad blockers. I have same problem on 3 pc's none have ad blockers. what on earth is going on?

I hate to say it, but it certainly looks like some users are blocked from making comments. I make the most inoffensive comments on Youtube and while I'm signed in it looks like the comments have taken and have registered, but when I sign out, the comments aren't there. If Google/Youtube are blocking certain users then it is an breach of the principle of free speech.
I sympathize Red Zen! Although I've had some strong opinions in my comments,
I have not used profanity or hateful words in anything I've posted.
There is simply an agenda on youtube and google to silence anyone who opposes the status-quo. Maybe someone will come along with a video/messageboard site that is truly free and only moderated for profanity and truly hateful/damaging speech.

It's just a matter of time, since the masses are tired of being fooled all the time.
Apple -- I just don't think it ever WILL fixed. I believe it's intentional. People who are speaking out for the truth and what is right in this world are being silenced. At least, that is how it appears. Hopefully some techie geniuses will come up with an alternative to the speech and expression crushing entity known as youtube.
There is no agenda, you might have been blocked by the channel owner. I blocked an user, I can see his comments, but he cannot see once logged out. Once the channel owner unblocks you, you can see the comments again when logged out.
@Lucksmee no that's a whole other subject. Getting ghosted is nothing to do with being banned by the channel owner, because ghosting is site-wide. I have people making legitimate comments on my channel who are automatically hidden as spam, and I have never blocked them nor reported them for spam personally. It also happens if I make a comment (and it's visible lol) and people reply to it, half of the replies are automatically invisible. Sometimes I get the option to restore them, other times they're just a phantom notification and I will never know if they deleted their comment or it simply vanished somewhere into the system.
I don't think there's a particular agenda against certain subjects though because all this is happening for me and people I speak with over things as non-political and unimportant as videogames.
Actual spam, trolls and "lyk dis sub me" all still gets through perfectly well though...
I agree, it's just a seemingly random and cruel spam filter. Some people seem to think it has to do with if you're a Republican or Democrat, but it's happening to everyone. I think someone should make a parody of the infamous "Google comments just got better" video and make it about ghost banning.
It's hard to believe this is still pure shit given how long ago this G+ was implemented. Pure incompetence from one of the richest companies in the World. Corporate greed for the lose.
Is it still possible to do this? If I click 'send feedback' I go here https://support.google.com/youtube/?hl=en and... I can't see any link to actually SEND feedback in. It seems to have been turned into a help and guides page.
Fuck you google your rotten rats. You cant even call their support (As i think they do not even have an email-only when THEY NEED YOUR ID) and WHEN I CALlED THE PHONE SUPPORT THE PERSON THERE HAD THE TELEPHONE PICKED UP , so noone could call in there. What a corporation that is ready for failure.
SAME HERE! Even comments with different links! Did YT fix their anti-spam system? NO THEY DIDNT!

Apparently this isn't considered spam or getting hit with ghostbanning (this is just a small selection of MrQuack's valuable contribution to the conversation). I and many others can't even get away with posting ONE genuine thought out comment without the spam filter kicking in, but proof that actual spam is still allowed.
well now pewdiepie, the biggest channel on youtube, has just announced that he's turning comments off permanantly because spam is always showing up but the real comments to him are getting hidden. Pewdiepie = 30 million subscribers! Congratulations google, it would serve right if he left youtube completely for his own site and took all that traffic with him. Is this enough to elicit a response?
I don't think that Google is ever going to answer this question. Google doesn't really care about it's customers. Remember how you were treated by Google if a competitor to Youtube ever shows up.

His latest video has over 191K comments and counting.

Then I guess you didn't watch the video, where he explicitly states that from now on (ie; after that video) all future uploads will have comments DISABLED because google/youtube has failed to fix the issue after all this time.
I've been getting the same thing for just over a month myself. It seems to only happen when I reply to someone, not if I make my own comment thread. The comment will be fine for a few hours but then after 6 or so hours it's removed (but I'm still subscribed and get notifications for the comment thread).
I'm definitely not an active commenter, I probably only make two comments per week at my most active times. I make completely normal comments - usually giving an answer to someone that has a specific question about the video. The comments don't have links in them either.
I've had my account since 2007, it's in good standing for everything (according to my settings), and correctly linked to a Google+ page with all of its settings verified and all of that.

I don't think that's true. There's no way my comments are being manually removed by the author/uploader every single time (across so many channels) when everyone else's replies in the comment threads are just fine - that's way too crazy of a coincidence.
Yahoo Answers complains if a person is spending too much time answering. I guess Youtube is going the same way.

If a real competition to YouTube ever becomes a reality, I'll likely be one of the first people to sign up there. Unfortunately for now, Google has a monopoly because of living off of the good things they did in the past like an intuitive search engine, letting YouTube go widescreen, and the partner program. Vimeo and Dailymotion really don't offer anywhere near what YouTube does because they have different target very specific audiences. In fact, the only reason any of my Vimeo uploads got views is because someone shared to Reddit.
Hey All
there is a workaround. Just post a simple "Hello" comment on youtube when you feel your comments are no longer visible. Check in incognito if that hello is visible - most probably it will be.
Then just edit it and post the actual comment. This worked for me.
If you check the comment later, is it still visible? Maybe it checks to see if you've edited it and re-checks for spam.
Pretty sure it wont do that. That is an overhead.
I wonder which conversations are being ghosted more.. what's the percentage, so curious to find out.. I would bet religious beliefs, or lack there of, would be the highest or near the top.
I just made my own topic about this but I can't even post links with videos for a video response to popular videos. Doesn't matter what video I comment on every link I post in a comment vanishes when I log out.
In any given post, unless it's what I like to call "a vanilla comment," the odds of a comment making it to the table to be seen by all, are going down drastically.
The comment can be deleted by:
Youtube/G+ moderator who randomly happened to read it w/o a report ever made.
The comment can be deleted by:
Youtube/G+ moderator who randomly happened to read it w/o a report ever made.
The channel owner (It seems if the channel owner deletes a post you made, without doing anything else, that will cause you to be ghost banned from commenting on that particular video ever again.
The OP of the comment thread.
The commenter in a thread.
Finally it can be voted out by "x" amount of a group of people reporting the comment for spam/abuse, even though it's not harmful, just "x" amount of people didn't like that you disagreed with them and they can cause you to get ousted out of a thread.
That doesn't give a comment much of a chance to be seen (if it's not a comment that isn't pretty by someone's standards.)
Recently I've noticed that they at least have limited the ghost banning to the particular channel where whatever said offence occurred, at least in my case. I recently shut my channel from 2006 down, with regret, E-mail and all. It was my only channel. I opened a new one, and it wasn't long before I was ghost banned. I'm not threatening anyone, or anything like that, BUT, I do have conflicting opinions from the majority of viewers on that channel, and I'd say the fanbase of the channel are mostly teens and kids. The channel isn't religious, racial, political, etc. It's a damn vlogging channel where recently, the husband and wife divorced and there are all kinds of speculation about cheating and lying and of course, 2 different sides. I don't want to believe that G+ allows a comment to be removed, just because some pimple faced kids reported it for abuse, when in fact it was only a conflicting opinion of theirs, but it indeed is looking like that.
I also think the thumb has a behind-the-scenes function, to signal a moderator to remove the comment, if the downvote surpasses the upvote by so much percentage. The downvote has some function, trust me. Facebook doesn't allow downvoting, and there is no thumb there.
I've recently had another "upgrade," and sometimes I feel like I'm a Test Youtube Baby, because it seems only months go by before another change-up. A couple of months ago I've lost the ability to:
Go to a second page of anything.
If a channel has a lot of videos, I am only capable of seeing the first 30, and then when I try to load more, it won't let me. Also the same applies for "See all comments," see a 2nd page of a users subscriptions, or basically anything that needs a 2nd look, it blocks the opportunity with the "time out" circle. Also, if I go to the videos and just play one, it loads up all of the channel's videos in a continuous loop. This I hate.
If you view the comment section while logged on, you will see a completely different sequence of comments if you go there logged off, and I'm not just talking about your own post. I'm talking about "Top comments." Why are some of the threads missing from view totally. That makes no sense. Sorry, I'm long-winded.
Google doesn't want us communicating and sharing info, otherwise even here on this message board, there should be a reply tab to message directly who you want to see your reply. But no, of course not.
You are less likely to get ghosted if you are starting your own posts, as opposed to getting involved in someone else's thread.
Everyone that starts their own post, is capable of "approving" messages that G+ sent to spam...not many people know this, and even if they did, they might be reluctant to approve because it doesn't agree with what hey said.
If you go to your damn bell when you have cleared it of all messages received, you will see at the top, Google+ Notifications. Click on that and let it open.
You will see the following headings:
All posts Your posts Other people's posts Mentions of you
This is only about "Your post" because that is the only ones you can control. So, click on "Your posts" and let it open. You would have to go through each thread you started, click on the comments, and I can't remember the exact message it says, because I don't have any current threads that have messages of spam, but I think it says "Not all messages are seen, click here to see messages sent to spam" or something like that.
So you would click that and then you will see some grayed out messages (ghosted) and right above these messages is a gray triangle with an exclamation point inside of it, and then again, I can't remember the exact wording, but you would click on "Restore" to allow the message someone else typed, to be seen by all. Now, I will say, it won't always let you "Restore" all messages.
That is one f*cked up message system if I ever saw one. First off, the message couldn't be considered spam on any day of the week. 2nd, if you comment a lot, who has time to go through each individual message you started, daily, to see if any spam messages need restored?
Also, the same spam messages you can approve, every channel owner can do the same with your messages, but here's the kicker. Let's say a channel has 200 videos, and let's say that each video has 500 comments on it, wtf has time to go through all of that??? Daily??? They don't want us communicating knowledge.
I just tried doing the "post one word, see if it shows, then edit post to real reply" trick. I posted "jugs". It was visible. Edited it to the actual relevent and informative reply I had wanted to write - suddenly it's not visible!! Come on, this is ridiculous. But at least it's been covered now by mainstream and big newspaper outlets thanks to Pewdiepie bringing it to attention.

I was not aware of this. Are they covering the exact problem we're all encountering?
He made a video "Goodbye comments" where he explained that all the relevent replies to him are getting buried in a sea of spam, and he was waiting for youtube to do something about it but they never did, which left him no option but to turn off comments and use either twitter or reddit to communicate with his fanbase.
Hopefully this exact issue will be a part of what is brought up. He said today on twitter that he's in talks with them currently about how to fix thing so I'm hoping they will listen. At the moment if you just type "pewdiepie" into google all the news stories that come up are about the comment business and his dissatisfaction at youtube/google. So anyone just randomly searching for him now will see that as well. Fingers crossed it's the start of something better!

Total BS. If you don't know the answer to a question - don't continue
to make yourself look stupid.
to make yourself look stupid.
It seems that youtube automatically blocks comments that contain profanity. Go fuck yourselves assholes. I can see my comment when I'm logged in but when I log out its not there. Eat a dick, bitches.
I found out how to make some posts that are invisible to me become visible. Not sure if it helps the general problem mentioned in this thread.
I get an email saying someone has responded to me and when I click the link to get to YouTube their post is not visible: the last post is mine.
Take note of how long ago the thread was started. Then switch to sort dropdown from Top Comments to Newest First. Then go down the comments until you find ones that were started at the correct time and look through them.
When I find the thread again, the person's post that was invisible is now there.

Click the text "View all __ replies" and you should be able to read the new post.
No, we are smart enough to try that :-) It doesn't work.
For others, as an update on my earlier post, it does work as I said, but it does not make your own invisible posts appear. I just tried.
Same here.Its very annoying and irritating
Your second channel wont work either eventually. I had about 8 channels and not one of them would let a reply or, a comment for that matter, get posted.
Is this why Pewdiepie turned off the commentary option?
No pewdiepie has a whole other different problem with people spamming and leaving rude comments.
Pewdiepie's most recent videos all have comments enabled:
I agree. A lot of my comments supporting homosexuality, and rebutting a homophobic guy's statements on a YouTube video, has not been showing. The comments (which are replies) show up on the video comment section when I'm logged into my account, but when I log out, they disappear. It's just so upsetting.
Ugh this sucks it happened to me too now. I'm filtered in every single post/relpy I make...
i have this problem. its pathetic what youtube has become.
I have the exact same problem with posting comments on YouTube. I get this circle with the word LOADING... in the spot where the comments would normally be. I find that very annoying. I never had this problem until now. From what I heard from a YouTube video, but can't really determine the validity of the information therein, someone said that when YouTube and Google+ made some changes, it rendered the old method of commenting on YouTube moot. As in, you can't post the old way anymore. I would like to have the old way back, because it worked for me. This new system? I can't get it to work to my satisfaction. I doubt anyone got it to work to their satisfaction since this ungodly and ever so annoying change.
I thought the same that my comments are only visible to me..actually they are not deleted just click on view all comments and you'll see your comment below somewhere...it's probably the new shitty comment system which does not put the latest comment on top.
I used to love google now they have started forcing things on users. there are so many ads everywhere. I'm still pissed at them for forcing me to use my real name on youtube and linking it with the worst social site google+. I'm pretty sure they are heavily involved in online surveillance with the govt. screw you google! I'll move to MS-Nokia ecosystem.

It's happening to me too! I posted a comment on a let's play, I watched the same video today, and my comment is gone!! I didn't even post anything to offend anyone! I just said "Uhm, is it me, or does Ogre look like a bald Sebastian Michaelis?" And it's gone.
same problem here.. still no solution ?
Any temporary solution for this? Is there any response from Google? Or is it the usual "I DON'T GIVE A **** " from Google?
It's called CENSORSHIP. It's ridiculous how censored we really are. I wouldn't be surprised if this comment never sees the light of day. I don't even get notification alerts for when someone responds to my comments anymore or anything. They have crippled our way of communicating with each other.
I believe that's why. But that's not what's happening to me. I post a comment on a video, I check back an hour or two later, and my comment is gone. Like they deleted it. Even if there's nothing wrong with it, it's gone! No e-mail notification, or google plus notification. They delete it without reason. It's not even marked as spam. They just delete it! When it started happening, this is what I posted it on SomeOrdinaryGamer's Mad Father playthrough, I said "Ogre looks like a BALD Sebastian Michaelis." I check back the comment is gone.
Wanna know how to be able to comment freely dozens of times a day without any fear of ghostbanning or deletion? Troll. And tell people to kill themselves. Repeatedly. Screenshot is from the report screen. All these, and more, constantly spammed on discussion pages and yet not only is he NOT ghosted, I reported the user and the reply I got was that "We’re unable to identify a violation of our Community Guidelines within your recent report to our Safety and Abuse Tool". Good to know, Goodle.
Bump.
Same problem. I wrote a comment and it simply does not show up. I tried another test comment on another video - does not show up either if not logged into my account. If I log back into my account I can see them again.
Didn't have those problems before the google+ stuff. I wrote like 20 comments or so in the past several years, so it should not be a spam block.

WELL HOW CAN WE MAKE GOOGLE LIKE US AGAIN?
The same happened to me 7:(
But sometimes I just comment something completely normal and it doesn't appear
It seems when your comment contains a link, it will automatically got hidden or deleted.
Dude, for real I had not had this problem til yesterday. I've been arguing with this dude in the comments about a video and we've said some pretty nasty shit to each other and it all shows up, and gets responded to. Then he made some comment about how people who go to college come out dumber than when they went in and that college was a waste of time and money. He is a black guy, and that is relevant to the story. Because I replied by saying that I hope he doesn't have any young black men that look up to him cause we don't need some old timer telling our black youth that education is worthless and a waste of time. And that if he told my kids that I would whoop his old ass. Anyway, we've said A LOT worse to each other. This was the first comment that had some sort of social commentary and it happened to be about educating our black youth. After all the nasty shit, my one comment about the importance of black youth being educated will not show up publicly. I tried posting again and still won't show up. It's there when I'm logged on as the person I posted the comment as. I have several channels about various different things. Whenever I'm logged in as any of my other channels or logged out completely, it won't show the comment. That's some bullshit.
I reply to other people's comments I just tell the truth as I see it im not racist insulting or rude yet my comments are never shown but then again Im white and speak as I find they say say the truth hurts
Fuck you google, people don't see my videos or anything I comment
Google and YouTube are NOTHING more than Big Brother lording over the sheeple and censoring genuine thought.
Until someone offers stiff competition to these bastards, we will all have to cease communicating online or suffer the delusion of "free speech".

I think you nailed it.
My posts are shown on my side (when I'm logged in) but if I check from another computer then my post doesn't exist.
Google will stealth-censor you (meaning you wont even notice the censorship unless you check from another computer), if you're "worthy" of being censored.
Typically if you have solid arguments against glottalization / immigration or just state facts about the astoundingly high proportion of jewish people in the media or other influent spheres or comment about their "double ethic" regarding social debates (abortion, gun control, immigration / gay promotion) which is totally different whereas it concerns your country or it concerns Israel...
The same goes for many, many other sites / communities. I'm censored the exact same way on Twitter and imgur for instance and wouldn't be surprised if the same happened of FB (which I don't use) as well.
They'd probably justify their censorship by a technical error or by calling you a "hatemonger" but oddly enough the real hateful content (the one that calls for killing someone or a group of people) is never censored as it serves our "Elite" to propagate chaos in the masses/enslaved people.

Everything all of you say is nonsense. YouTube doesn't "censor" anybody. Think about how many comments are made on EVERY video EVERY second, minute, hour, etc. They will have to charge every user like 50$ daily to pay the salary of all those "censorers", even if it's done by machines as soon as words "Jewish" or "gay" appear (strangely enough, "fuck" and "shit" seem to pass). Seriously, the only thing I know is that it's a technical issue, that occurs randomly when someone replies with "+You" next to it. Eliminating that extra seems to work on keeping the comments alive, although some stupid people in threads might not understand whom your comments are addressed to (but that's just between us, gay Jews). So anyway, rather than posting nonsense, I suggest we continuous bug Google about it, and eventually, someone will do something to resolve the issue.
Shadiac -- I actually WANT to believe this is not an intentional oppression of free speech....but I no longer believe for ONE minute that it's just a technical "bug".
This has been going on a very LONG time. If these billionaires wanted it to be fixed, it would have been a long, long, long time ago.
I respect your opinion and perspective, but I can no longer believe it's just a "fluke" after all this time.
Many of us have tested it out and if we say something very brief or meaningless, it more than likely gets posted. When we say anything in depth, that might actually cause another person to "think" or research particular issue more on their own, our comments simply disappear.
If I had not tested this out, I would still believe it was just a technical issue.
Of course, if you find out any way for this to be resolved or if you find anything out which will explain this insanity, please do share with us! :-)

Anything that might wake people up and keep them awake is targeted.
Go check out these documentaries online:
"What in the World are they spraying?"
AND "Why in the world are they spraying?"
I've been seeing this spraying campaign blatantly occur in my homestate, easily seen outside my windows, for months now. If I have not seen this horror with my own eyes, I would have NEVER in a million years believed it. It's been going on for decades now apparently.
If global dimming, aerosol spraying, Geo-engineering
and full blown weather-control is happening right over the heads
of BILLIONS all over the world who are not looking UP and connecting the dots, then anything is possible.

Yea same thing happened to me. I could see them when im signed in and when i sign out it doesnt show up.Google better fix this
Your a fucking joke every other person is of the same mind as me but your right the voice of reason fuck off knob head
Im not stupid I have degree's in history ancient and modern and sociology I know when my comments are not appreciated by the narrow minded retards who hate the white race
Like I said, people, stop panicking and just try erasing the "+User" addition once you hit reply. It solved the problem for me once and for all, I've never had my comments deleted. And seriously, I visit Russian and Ukrainian threads, and before I found out how to resolve the issue, the same thing was happening in them too. Are you implying that the Google machine knows EVERY insult in EVERY language there is out there (we live in a world of 30 something languages)? C'mon, I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings, but this seriously sounds very absurd to me. And if I'm ever wrong - pinch me, because I don't want this to be my reality.
@Shadiac Lazagna
Who said it had anything to do with "replies" ? I'm not talking about replies at ALL, but actual comments showing up only on your side when you're logged in and that the rest of the world is unable to see.
How do you explain that one?
@CheshireCatalyst, Thanks for the link, I'll look into it.

I've never seen it. Mine show up just fine when I don't add the +user thing.
I hate it when people on YouTube put you in arguments you don't want to be involved in
I've been experiencing this ever since the google+ update. A sure way to have this happen to me is to copy and paste text. Another way is to add a link, even if it's a link to a YouTube video.
It does also happen now and again without me doing those things so is a little strange. I can sign into another account and see my comments aren't visible to anyone.
This makes discussions incredibly difficult. And who wants to constantly type out stats that can be given time and time again? Pointless.
I've noticed some users can include links in their comments so it baffles me.
As suggested earlier I will try removing the + in my comment replies in future to see if it works.
Lets hope a YouTube killer comes along soon. FuTube?

i try to post comments on hulu using facebook and after i post my comment i click refresh and then the post is gone. i tried commenting on someone elses comment and my reply wasn't there after refresh. the only comments you ever see are the ones that like whatever video is showing or either their negative comments are harmless.
my comments are very important. they show up worldwide and gives people information. i am very upset that my comments don't show up. this is censorship and world control.

You have to change the settings on Google+. It's not a conspiracy or Google taking a political stance. When they updated some features. the default has it turned off. You just have to go to Settings>Receive Notifications>Posts
From there you just select the check box for 'email', it can be deceiving in that it can lead you to believe this check box is only to receive email notifications but it actually turns on the ability to see your youtube comments on your google+ page.

Doesn't work.
Wrong.
Read again,
The comments are ONLY showing on our sides, others can't see them. If we're logged off, we can't see them.
How could possibly changing a setting on Google+ (which I don't even use) fix anything ?

They obviously just allow comments from their own - probably paid people - to be seen. Although it Ma sound ridiculous, I'm dead serious about this.

This might be a stupid question since it sounds like you have a pretty established channel, but you've made sure your account is verified? I was having the same problem and then I verified my account and seems to have fixed the issue
same here. i can only see all of my comments when i sign in but when i sign out, only some of my comments appear.
Yeah fuck google for allowing sexist, racist and homophobic comments regardless of being flagged to sit on youtube for public view meanwhile for no reason just making other peoples comments invisible for no reason. Sort your shit out google.
yeah the same happened to me as well. and with one of my accounts I can't login anymore. I think they've completely shut it down or something. the government is soo shady I can't even right not
Looks like you tube is censoring people.
Ikr! Some guy named 2flat236 decided to flag all my comments and videos. It's been a month now, and I cant post a single comment. What is going on?
What's the "+User" thing you guys are talking about? Where is it located? What am I supposed to do to it once I find it?
"I'm for filing a class action Law suit for violating our first amendment rights,,,,I think a Suit Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. sec. 1983 for deprivation of our civil rights would do the trick and since it's google lawyers would come out of the wood work to represent the case......worth millions..............."
Just got this in my email, but someone on this site already deleted it !!!
Talk about irony !!!!!!!!!!!

Same problem here, any ideas on how to fix it. I think maybe this issue is happening because of slow internet connections.
This same issue is happening to me.
I have the same problem. I can reply to other comments fine but all my original comments are orphaned by the system--only I may see them.

Guys, in our country (Slovakia) the companies routinelly post ads in the TV saying one price for a product and then THEY LAUGHT AT YOU WHEN YOU WANT TO BUY IT FOR SUCH A SMALL PRICE.
Therefore the USA lawyers/court would just laught at you(us) and say : So what? They are breaking the law, but the Ammendements are there just to look at.
Seriously, is there ANY(!!!!!!!!!!) amandement that is implemented?
-Christian Religion is established(basically-ALTHOUGHT NOT BY FORCE(!!)) in the USA.
-You fundementally do not have the freedom of speech, because ANY TRUTH is ILLEGAL(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) to speak anyway!!!And even if it wasn´t, somebody who was harmed by the truth would certainly kill you, so you will think it very thoroughly if you want to excercise your freedom of speech. Lol.
The press writes WHATEVER IT IS PAYED TO WRITE (!) AND IT IS EVEN ALLOWED BY LAW!!!!!!!! For example - when someone pays a newspaper to review their products good and actually is a lie(look at the recent nVidia GTX 970 cards?they are a fraud with their 3.5gb vram and nobody does a thing!)
-You cannot PEACEABLY assemble, or you can, and then a group of policeman dressed in black will "peaceably" assemble near your group as well. ARE YOU COMFORTABLE TO EVEN DO SO ?
ALMOST EVERYBODY SUBCONTIOUSLY KNOWS NOT TO ATTEND IN ANY PROTEST, BECAUSE THEY WORRY ABOUT GETTING HURT!
-And I won´t even start the goverment thing. You have all agreed to having 20-50% of your income legally stolen by state. Or maybe have been manipulated to do so anyway.

And one very important thing - when i made the first google thread on this issue - it died of very quickly...
Later I made another one-no sucess whatsoever - didn´t even have one response!
Now i don´t know what is with this topic, but somehow luckily it has managed to rank in the top google pages without me even RADICALLY CHANGING THE TEXT IN IT!!!!!(by the way im the creator of this topic)

I am having the same problem. I opened google account years ago but have been posting regularly since Dec 2014. it appears the last notification I received was Jan 12, 2015. Only today, i realize that my you-tube posts are not appearing on the you tube page, only when I log into my account then the youtube page reflects my comment, so if YOU went on the page you would not see my comments. The comments can be seen by myself on my google page by myself at least whether I am accessible.
I post on controversial topics and I consider myself a Demon Hunter, ie every time a snake head shimmies out of the pit of hell i hope to be there with my sword of indignation lopping their heads back up their arses. Demons the like of Obomba, Clinton, the freaking cocaine addicted GOP, Cameron et al, hell who the hat fits. I spit lyrics on the blind sheep to awaken their consciousness. The upshot is that I trawl the dark-side and sometimes utilize dark tools to shine the light.
So what is this all about...as i suspected at the time I had to get a google account to comment, it is now obvious and in line with the continual Snowden revelations that the powers that be are presenting the opinions of the world through their NSA, MI5, mossad eyed lens, a false parody of what is really happening.
So I have been consigned to you tube no mans land, and have no idea when i hit the post button if y'all gonna hear me ROAR FREEDOM
Solution: If I could I would mirror you tube sites and allow free comment. people would upload site details and walla, we take back the internet for now.
I am in no way computer literate, just trying to put an idea out there for free. if it works contact me and sign me up for a measly 1/12th of future profits.

https://support.google.com/plus/answer/3100745. Google page on suspensions. I do not see any link or info on google having to inform you on being suspended. It is obvious that any one or group can abuse this set up. Certain groups know this for example the 'unmentionables' have the most sophisticated set up to shut people down, whether it is MSM or you tube. They think they control the western world because the western world agrees with their bullshit lie they are 'chosen'.
And important shit right here(!!!!) : if you notice, YouTube is basically forcing people into the consumer lifestyle-almost all the videos there are there just to make you buy.
And now the important thing :
I have made a video promoting MY MONEY MAKING CAMPAING and it GOT DELETED ONE WEEK LATER!!!!! EVERY Normal(!!!) persons videos that wants to make money get deleted!
WHILE THE BIG GUYS (every other company-Apple,bmw, etc...) is routinelly making videos to buy their product !!!!!! THEY PUT THE LINK TO BUY THE PRODUCT (for example they write in description www.apple.com) and THEIR VIDEOS DO NOT GET DELETED!!!!!!!!!!
WHILE WHEN I MADE VIDEO WITH LINK FOR MY WEBSITE IN THE DESCRIPTION - IT GOT DELETED FAST AND I GOT EVEN THREATENED THAT THEY WILL BAN ME OR EVEN SUE ME THOSE YOUTUBE FKERS!
WHAT IS THIS BULLSHIT SYSTEM?
HOW CAN ONE EVEN SUCEED?! Talk about system being rigged ffs.

Yeah none of my replies to other people are showing up nor are people replying to me
I have the same problem, even normal comments on music such as 'I like this', do not show unless I'm signed in.
This site is just terrible, they really need to learn how to handle there problems more better.
Same thing is happening to me.. They don't want you speaking out against anything that goes against their agenda for world control. I suggest switching to DailyMotion.com if you don't want to be censored.
I'm just not going to post comments whatsoever. Cause anything associated with Google will censor you. I posted on this forum a while back and now that I checked back, even my posts on this forum were removed. It's getting extremely ridiculous.
Jashei -- You're RIGHT. They're probably reading all these comments and having a big laugh at our expense. We have too much dependance on technological devices and it keeps us trapped in this loop of either being censored, spied on, or constantly having to fix computer or phone issues.
It's really a damn racket....and to think, we PAY for internet service we PAY for cell phone service, we PAY to be spied on and censored.....it's really pathetic.
Let's hope karma is a bitch for these bastards.

They think this it's a little game and it's not. And actually I noticed a lot more of my YouTube comments are being removed. None of them are inappropriate or could offend anyone, so I don't think they're being reported and removed. It's something bigger.
Jashei ~~ It's like the internet's version of "common core" education !!
We must all fall in line like good little soldiers. I think these globalists are going to be in for a rude awakening. The human spirit is not going to be crushed so easily. Freedom of expression and speech is not negotiable.

Same here. What is the deal?
Same is happening to me!!!
Ok, relax then, because if it is happening to everyone, then it's basically not a problem just for you, but rather a feature of Google, and the "features" of their system.
So screw that Googloid.
So screw that Googloid.
No offense, but that's NOT gonna stop comments from getting removed. I don't post links, or unnecessary hashtags, or copy other comments and my comments are my comments are STILL getting removed. So that doesn't really help.
A private company has no obligation to provide a venue for your speech.
Looks the same to me, safety switch off, I have no problem at all when commenting about some nice aircraft, _but_ my comments are definitely only visible to myself in any page where the USA government is susceptible to be criticized. I noticed that the same does not happen to other people who is criticizing by only insulting, while I am always polite and I add _arguments_ supporting my posture (if I have no clear arguments then I assume I have no reason to publish any critics). This has been happening since I first published negative appreciations about the USA foreign policy, about one year ago. I suppose Youtube has "circles" like g+ and we are in some "banned from publishing on this kind of pages" circle, or maybe it's a sort of "account <=> forbidden subjects" multiple association.

This is my last post, I posted again, it's definitely only visible to myself... I can't see it if I'm not logged in and got no insults even from the worst guys commenting on that page.

Answering "THE REAL TERRORISTE IS USA...".
I'm afraid I must agree on this one, this is the "policeman is actually a robber" nightmare. Not enough of the USA people is protesting against the horrible forces who hijacked their governments. I recommend watching the movies "Green Zone", "Lord of War", "The Good Shepherd" (these are USA-UK movies, not Iranian ones), and the various documentaries about 911 showing much evidence that it was an inside job, World Trade Center = Plan Northwood + "Rebuilding America's Defenses" signed among others by Condoleeza Rice, Paul Wolfowitz, Dick Cheney... forget about Illuminati, you have very clear in front of your eyes who these people are, betraying and killing their own citizens, sending loyal soldiers to fight and possibly die based on lies, all in order to maintain the huuuge business: weapons. What about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2FZayu3hHY I bet it is what happened, the USA governments made the USA by far the top terrorist in the planet. The foreign policy of the USA will push more and more countries towards Russia and China. (Not that I'm a Russia or China fan, AT ALL!!!) EDIT: what about the airliner which was destroyed in Ukraina? Other airliners denounced there had been an offset in the coordinates given by the GPS system. Who can do it? I want my next smartphone to also have GLONASS and I want a software which keeps comparing the coordinates given by the two systems, if they don't match while I'm on an airliner I run to tell the pilot.

"about 911 showing much evidence that it was an inside job"Seriously?!
Why are you all debating(read-wasting energy-althought that may unnerve you all, because if you LOOK AT GOOGLE(+USA! (btw:if i write USA, does it make this message sound too retarded-too COMMON, uninteresting, etc.??? I believe it does- you have been hypnotized in your sleep everyone - by demons! this is true, keep reading, you will see TOMMOROW OR EVEN TODAY BY YOUR OWN EYES.
_________________________________
SO : GOOGLE AND USA HAVE >>>BEHAVIOUR<<<PREDICTION TECHNOLOGIES!!! COSTING TRILIONS OF DOLLAR!(Overemphasizing maybe.., but you get the picture)
If you do not believe that there exist SUPER ULTRA COMPLEX Mass Behaviour prediction technologies -
then here are the facts: Google OFFERS SEARCH PREDICTIONS FOR FREE.
YOUR GOVERMENT (EVERY) Conducts reasearch on CRIMINAL AREAS and what THE PROBABILITIES OF CRIME IN AREAS IS, and so does the NSA do so, when they (by cloack of security) PREDICT THE behaviour of people.

So where am I getting with? Basically answering the original energy wasting point - "about 911 showing much evidence that it was an inside job" (do not think i am doing this in insulting way- again you have been all hypnotized by demons in your sleep - which in fact - i am dead serious - Possessed nsa employees and COMMENTERS ON YOUTUBE to generate millions of videos about shit that wastes energy!)

Besides - WHO THE HELL/F*** cares WHETHER 9/11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB OR NOT?!
BUILDING IS DOWN, I DON´T CARE IF SOME MORON TERRORIST >FROM SOME IRAQ DID IT< OR A TERRORIST IN BLACK SUIT! Why would I care?!
Building is down, point blank. What would happen if AN ORDINARY PASSENGER (psychically ill-to make it even more innocent) TOOK OVER A PLANE AND SIMPLY BASHED IT INTO A FREAKING BUILDING?!
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE TO THE BUILDING?!
Do you all think, that such powerfull people are so stupid, that they WOULD BE UNNABLE TO GET SOME RANDOM TERRORISTS TO CRASH THE PLANE?!
And just by the way (and be prepared before you read this, that this is perfectly (even) HOLY): off topic: It is perfectly GOOD for terrorists for example in Paris, to destroy stuff.
Paris is the most dirty city in the world, i believe with the most demons Per Square Meter in the world(next to Berlin OR PERHAPS EVEN NEW YORK). And paris should be immidiatelly bombed by atom bombs in my opinion.
I am not going to give reasons why(or i am, if anyone is interrested) : To start with : (keep in mind that Bible has been altered-and even the unaltered contains Lies, so before reading even the unaltered, get a good translation - NOT KJV, bullshit demon shit. KJV = worst, even thought it may sound ridiculous)
Matthew 13:4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.
and now THE MOST important part (in the entire bible in my opinion-This is deleted/changed from MOST translations)
When any one hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it,
the evil one (BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!! This has been edited! NOT EVIL ONE, BUT FUCKING SATAN! - and now you see, why it is good for paris to be destroyed)
comes and snatches away what is sown in his heart; this is what was sown along the path.

Fools, aren´t you all unhappy these days?!
Aren ´t you ALL(!) stressed OUT?! DRAINED? You are.
Now realize how much other people are ALL(!)-except Illuminated few(that have been MADE TO LOOK EVIL - absurdly) that realize what bullshit other people live in.
Worst of all - there is almost NO way to change it, it seems.
BECAUSE NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY TO SHOUT AT PEOPLE, THEY WON ´T LISTEN!
AND BECAUSE GOOGLE/NSA HAS BEHAVIOUR PREDICTION MEASURES >>>>>>>> THEY HAVE BLOCKED <<<<<<< PREVENTIVELY , ALL COMMENTS (AS WELL AS SILENCED THE ONES) THAT TRY TO ENLIGHTEN(!) PEOPLE.
Now not to get into shit here- there are 2 kinds of people - Satans(there is not 1 satan- but millions of them, literrary)
-That is = ones that ARE NOT SILENCED, but even encouraged by satan to spread lies. These fuckers get on TV, make retarded videos, and then you LOOK at the moronic people(-it is good for these people to die, so do not even try to save them, Ok?) who as we say here: eat their bullshit.
-And the other ones(like me)= who speak the truth, but (in my opinion) - have never been heard by almost anyone, and even if they were, they would not be UNDERSTOOD(/!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) because again almost all people have been hypnotized by demons(and as i have experienced-live in some kind of Retarded reality-that simply REFUSES to accept THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VERY KEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For example like a dream state: Where YOU WOULDN´T EVEN EXPECT for gravity to pull you DOWN, it would always pull you UP THE SKY and you would feel with 99% confidence, that this is the right way, and normal, and you wouldn´t EVEN THINK OF gravity existing pulling you down.
Now- replace gravity with ANY other thing (in thought sense)-and you get the reality that majority of people live in.
And again : JFK speech what cost him his HEAD
/by the way now NSA will pick on these comments-so beware of any new PEOPLE(nicknames) that come writing here from now on
It requires a change in outlook, a change in tactics, a change in missions--by the government, by the people, by every businessman or labor leader, and by every newspaper. For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence--on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.
Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed. It conducts the Cold War, in short, with a war-time discipline no democracy would ever hope or wish to match.
Nevertheless, every democracy recognizes the necessary restraints of national security--and the question remains whether those restraints need to be more strictly observed if we are to oppose this kind of attack as well as outright invasion.
For the facts of the matter are that this nation's foes have openly boasted of acquiring through our newspapers information they would otherwise hire agents to acquire through theft, bribery or espionage; that details of this nation's covert preparations to counter the enemy's covert operations have been available to every newspaper reader, friend and foe alike; that the size, the strength, the location and the nature of our forces and weapons, and our plans and strategy for their use, have all been pinpointed in the press and other news media to a degree sufficient to satisfy any foreign power; and that, in at least in one case, the publication of details concerning a secret mechanism whereby satellites were followed required its alteration at the expense of considerable time and money.
The newspapers which printed these stories were loyal, patriotic, responsible and well-meaning. Had we been engaged in open warfare, they undoubtedly would not have published such items. But in the absence of open warfare, they recognized only the tests of journalism and not the tests of national security.

which means HE KNEW ABOUT ALL THIS (nsa + spreading lies) EVEN IN 1961 !
Could this mean that they were able to predict this stuff too, back then?

I thought this was about what happened to our YouTube comments, not a history lesson.
Youtube has
Been INFILTRATED as president (dead) said, that it is common (infiltration) even in government.

More importantly it has been infiltrated by demon people. (no joke)

Agreed that the building is down, but who did it makes a _huge_ difference, because based on the fact the building is down various countries have been attacked/invaded and various people kept in prison (other recommended movie: The Road to Guantanamo, 2006).
I believe international laws should oblige anybody who hosts a page open to public debate to publish a warning on *any* and *each* page subject to such filtering, something like this:
"WARNING: this page is or may be subject to selective concealment of commentaries not complying with our policy <link to the policy> or with the editorial/political line of our customers/owners/sponsors <link to them too? that should be it, but I believe it is daydreaming>."
I understand YouTube is a private company which can decide which policy to adopt. However, I also understand that by filtering comments they apply a bias on the perception people get by visiting pages carrying subjects which are susceptible of political evaluation by people of different opinions.
I really believe that a real debate in the public opinion is fundamental in order to progressively maximize chances to avoid wars, and especially a nuclear World War III.

Hey, in other JFK speech :
___
I speak of peace because of the new face of war. Total war makes no sense in an age where great powers can maintain large and relatively invulnerable nuclear forces and refuse to surrender without resort to those forces. It makes no sense in an age where a single nuclear weapon contains almost ten times the explosive force delivered by all the Allied air forces in the second world war. It makes no sense in an age when the deadly poisons produced by a nuclear exchange would be carried by wind and water and soil and seed to the far corners of the globe and to generations yet unborn.
Today the expenditure of billions of dollars every year on weapons acquired for the purpose of making sure we never need them is essential to the keeping of peace. But surely the acquisition of such idle stockpiles -- which can only destroy and never create -- is not the only, much less the most efficient, means of assuring peace.
I speak of peace, therefore, as the necessary rational end of rational men. I realize the pursuit of peace is not as dramatic as the pursuit of war -- and frequently the words of the pursuers fall on deaf ears. But we have no more urgent task.
Some say that it is useless to speak of peace or world law or world disarmament -- and that it will be useless until the leaders of the Soviet Union adopt a more
ENLIGHTENED
attitude. I hope they do. I believe we can help them do it.

Awesome post Nicola!!
It might also mention the one-voice agenda of the
powerful political lobbies that are connected to and
supported by the owners of the website/corporation/publisher
and that censorship is required in order to not "offend" the powers that be. LOL
Ha! I actually think we ALL should be pasting what you wrote in all the political/controversial/viral videos.

It might also mention the one-voice agenda of the
powerful political lobbies that are connected to and
supported by the owners of the website/corporation/publisher
and that censorship is required in order to not "offend" the powers that be. LOL
Ha! I actually think we ALL should be pasting what you wrote in all the political/controversial/viral videos.
Thank you, I appreciate.

I'm pretty sure the NSA has better things to do than listen to every conspiracy theorists on google forums, especially this forum. However I am having legitimate problems viewing any comments. At all. Like None.
I'm unsure it is censoring as some of the posts which I've lost have been no where near controversial, but most posts I've made which I guess could be considered by some as "controversial" (but not really) have remained. When I try to comment again in the same thread, the reply is gone again, so I assume it's a bug tied to specific threads and individual accounts.
Google had slid into fucking shit. They have unfixed bugs for years. They constantly change user interface, making it slower, less useful and more buggy. Google is just a shit company with a huge public relations.
This just started happening to me today. I got a notice that people were commenting on videos I commented on as well and went to look for my original comments but they're gone or something because I can't see them. Hope they fix this soon =/
Google never fix anything soon. It will be buggy for years.
Well they fixed the watch history mess up in about two months so lets hope they fix this on in about the same time frame or less.
Ok, let's hope. I'm just pessimistic about it.
Well, this post was created back in JULY 2014, so, I'm not holding my breath.
This is simply because your US Government Censors along with Google all information along you send ...and along with other countries.....:-(
If you are using FIREFOX for your web browser...
Let me see if I can help because I was having the same problem earlier tonight too and now my problem is solved.
I can only vouch for this to work for FireFox 35.0.1
First thing to do is make absolutely sure without a doubt, you know what all of your passwords are. Especially for Google Plus and You Tube, because you may not get automatically signed back in to any web sites you visit or need on a regular basis.
I'd advise you to write them all down temporarily just in case you need them later. I didn't save mine and it was a P.I.T.A.
Go to the link below and just follow the directions. It explains how to Refresh FireFox. Just don't trust it to save your passwords or any Add-Ons though.

Hey everybody! I was able to reach YouTube's customer service. You can listen to the conversation in the link below:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjWtlbuAxRc&feature=youtu.be
Same here, I don't understand why this is. I mean, most other people I know can see them, but I can't. Why can I not see my own comments? I posted it, I should have the right to see it. Sigh... YouTube has been going downhill maddeningly fast lately...
sometimes when I post links my comments don't show up.
I've just experienced this for the first time (as far as I know). I appear to have found a solution as well, or it may have been a random event.
I posted a comment replying to someone. Found out a couple of days later they couldn't read it, so I posted it again. 3 people confirmed that neither post was visible to anyone other than me.
All my other comments on the thread were visible so there was something special about the content of this comment, but I have no idea what. I had not written anything controversial, hateful, threatening, profane, political, libellous or in breach of anyone's intellectual property rights.
Finally I tried cutting the posting into 2. First part was just my text explaining a flaw in someone's argument. The second was a bit more text and a link to a different YouTube video that I'd used to supplement my original posts.
This time both were visible to everyone.
There was no material change in the content. For some reason when it was all in a single post it triggered what appears to be an auto censorship feature which was apparently side-stepped by splitting off part of the comment into the following comment.

Talked to a friend who works in Google, Youtube. Told him about this issue and he says they are looking into it, it is a bug. Not sure if this is the truth, but well, that is what he said.
Richard ~~~ Very interesting. Thanks for sharing this possible solution!
Jelly ~ Let's hope it's true! :-)
We all are looking into it. Instead of looking into it googlers need to fix it. And as a software developer I can't understand why fixing it takes so long time for so "smart" people. At least they could make some temporary workaround allowing people to communicate each other.

Unless you're on the video owner's "Approved users" list, comments/replies with a YouTube video URL other than the video being commenting on will automatically be hidden by YouTube's spam filter.
@Richard Towers: The video owner must have manually marked your comment with the YouTube video URL as "not spam" or added you to their "Approved users" list.
Never knew about this thanks for the info I link lots of videos in other videos this maybe why those comments are disappearing. Although it's silly I don't know why they would delete links to publicly shared videos.
Interesting. I was actually replying to someone who posted a link to
another YouTube video though. As I say, by splitting my comment into 2
posts, the second one still having a YouTube link in it, they both became
visible.
It seems an odd filter too, since YouTube has especially gone to the effort
of recasting raw YouTube links as a user friendly video names.
Thanks for pointing out that they automatically scan and block some posts
with links in though [?] It would be nice if they actually did it loudly
instead of secretly though, e.g. by sending a message to my email saying
"Dear Richard, Your comment looks like spam because [blah blah...].
Therefore no one other than you will be able to read this post."

I've been running an open test of YouTube's video commenting system since December 2013 and except for those I've white-listed, no one has been able to succesfully post another YouTube URL in a comment/reply without it being hidden as spam. You're welcome to try your "split comment" method out on the test video ––> youtu.be/7F8ds4Sgw4M

Maximum bullshit Johnny,
So we EVERY user on youtube is going to have to fix it THEMSELVES(instead of Google)?!
The problem is PEOPLE DO NOT SEE >EACHOTHERS< COMMENTS!
If I am commenting, i want OTHERS to see MINE comment.
AGAIN - THE PROBLEM IS - THEY DO NOT SEE!
MORE IMPORTANTLY - 99,99% of people WILL NOT DO THIS, because THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW, AND EVEN IF EVERYONE OF THEM KNEW HOW, THEY WOULDN´T DO IT ANYWAY.

@Johnny Lee Swindell: Check your YouTube messages for an important message from me ––> youtube.com/messages
yea ive had this since last year and it took me 5 months to realize , i was posting comments directly asking questions and all i got was notifications about other people replying to the same post , but noone mentioning me , liking or disliking my comment , it started to get suspicious , having in mind that i was the master of getting top comments in the old youtube comment system and also getting tons of hate because of troll comments . For ex , there is a video of s small dog really cute and i would comment , what an ugly stupid looking dog and get 50 hate replies from 12 year olds . That type of shit made my day and now its all gone . Fuck Google plus , they have ruined absolutely everything .
And now this is the most bs thing ever , youtube makes me sick . Just saying FuCK you google + is not enough , what I meant to say is , from the bottom of my heart I hope the entire Google + goes out of business
All this time and the Google staff still haven't come here to explain anything or help out.
i dont understand that too , its been like a year or 2 since they took over , and they have turned youtube into an absolute nightmare
Omg I have never posted anything ever on YouTube and I can't comment now unless I reply to someone
I had posted a comment on a new 2016 snowmobile in the ski-doo YT channel about one of their new sled being a re-branded model from their euro division and that's what it is and now my comment has been removed and i am now blocked form posting any comments. I even gave a good comment that the new snowmobile has been wished for for many years now here in North America and now it's here but a compliment these days is obviously a bad thing. The scary part is that it i post a similar comment on the Euro division channel i get a thank you and they listen to what i have to say or what any one has to say.
I have come across better videos on other streaming sites, just not as many.
It seems that if you are not some sort of red neck fool constantly giving constant worship or praise to these YT diva's they report you. It's the only explanation for the selective targeting of people that get their comments and PM's blocked.

I agree. I recently got this ghost banned because of one Jerk here on YT. I asked around and he's reported many people for no reason but to get attention, typical spoiled brat mentality even if he's probably in his 30's.
I did notice a pattern in certain of my comment conversations and sudden block on other peoples comment conversations that after about eight or nine replies in a comment thread you are auto ghosted. I've only checked six of these instances so far but for all six it is the same. At #10 you are auto-labeled as a troll and it effects PM's as well.
Right now i am speechless that i can even comment on here and i ma testing to see if any one can see a video i posted.

Canesser did see my posting about the wiring and answered and i can see his answer but my comments after that are gone even when i log in. My comments in that conversation thread started vanishing after my 6th reply.
That should be enough examples.
I really don't get this. I can see older comments i made , and i never posted links so that's not the problem, nothing i said was offensive.

Looking at the renegade b-c as well but probably the 600 carb version instead. The e-tec has a bad rep around here. That or will go with an expedition sport 600 or 900 ace for the lite sled , or back to wide tracks as far as being reliable. The 900 ace starts better than the e-tec at those temperatures but i like the idea of the two stroke pull start. Decisions decisions.

+Tread Wisely Big decision TW no doubt. I've only heard from multiple sources that the 800 e-tec was a problem and speciifcally told to go with the 600 (also starts better in cold apparently). Know several guys that have the Renegade 600 BC and Adrenaline and are very happy and we live with subarctic temps (though not as often as Allan in the NWT) thanks to the Jet Stream and get -40C temps almost every year. The Expedition Sport is definitely an option. I haven't heard that about the 900 ACE starting better at those temps. Just like the weight on the Back Country, though only 25-30 lbs lighter than the Exped Sport. Looks comfortable to sit on for long periods of time!

+Canesser Thanks. Yes i tried the 600 & 900 ace expedition sport through last years -40c for about a month and i was impressed. The 600 ace doesn't start as well as the 600 e-tec but i did look up the larger 3 cylinder engines and because the three cylinder engines have a dedicated power stroke cylinder there is less fighting between the pistons and it works for both two and four stroke engines and there is a nice write up on the subject over on dootalk forums covering yamaha, polaris and arcticcat. I didn't mind the 30lbs more on the expedition sport because the studded track and other things i want on my renegade bring up the weight to about the same as the expedition sport and those renegade options the expedition already has stock. They are not making my decision easy.

+Tread Wisely How do you find the torque and top end on the 900 ace as ompared to the 600 Etec? 90 hp sounds grossly underpowered in powder conditions which I will see a lot of. How about seat comfort and ergonomics on the Sport vs Renegade? Suspension differences? Great to run into a guy who has been on both! What region do you live in to see a lot of -40C?

+Canesser Heh, where to start. The 600 etec does not have the constant off trail power of the older 503 or 550f and in my experience i have to hold half throttle on the 600 e-tec to haul 250lbs in the sleigh through more than 1 foot of snow, and late season driving i go back to my 550f. It's not a good idea to compare two and four stroke HP ratings. The 90HP 900 ace has about 63BPH at the start so the torque is there already and unlike a two stroke you have to be careful not to spin out the track when you start off so you feather the throttle on a 4 stroke and at full throttle the 900 ace and 600 e-tec have about the same available power the 600 e-tec will have more speed being lighter but on a head to head race it will be a very close. The 600 ace is better for in the woods because the 900 ace three cylinder or any three cylinder is geared more towards speed and will tend to dart or fishtail on hard pack where the 600 e-tec won't. The 900 ace in the expedition sport or even the expedition WT is over powered. Comfort wise the expedition sport is a touring sled so it wins out over the renegade, the longer track absorbs more and the bumps are more smoothed out so you don't get the uppercut jolt like Allan did when he crossed the old snowmobile track. I'm in the Abitibi Temiscamagne region of Quebec. To me the 900 ace is the better engine because it can do more it just takes getting use to which is what i noticed most people complaining about when they come off an older sled. I admit i had the same learning curve and i got stuck often but i learned and i don't 'regret it.

You have me leaning toward the Expedition class (was originally heading that way 2 years ago and here we are again, but a few people were categorically encouraging me to go toward the BC or Adrenaline just because). Do want trail and back country capabliity so the 900 ace sounds like the motor to grow into and get used to with some trial and error. Would appreciate less axial impact with this aging back. We deal with mostly powder throughout the season but sounds like the 900 ace would fit better on the full blown Expedition. The 550f must be far better on hard pack for cooling as well. Think I need two machines to cover it all lol. No wonder Allan has 3!? You live in a beautiful region of Canada TW!

Honestly most people around here have two sleds for the basic reason as having a backup or a sled to do work or walk back home 20 miles to get the backup sled to get you unstuck. I did get to try the 900 ace skandic swt and talk about love at first sight but it's expensive. My only gripe about the new 600 and 900 ace is the modes, most of the time i was in standard mode so i didn't get much use out of the modes. The new RF Dess key does work better than the original metal on metal contact key and it looks like it can handle -45c so that's a good thing. I'm not sure about the pivoting throttle on the 900 ace, and now on the 2015 600ace. It is useful when you are in a tight spot and your legs are up against the handle bars and not have your legs press the throttle. The 600 e-tec is a sport engine, it wasn't made for hard work and when you do push it, it does take up alot of resources so if you are going to do groomed trails, lakes with light snow, short runs up mountains then the e-tec is perfect. The e-tec delivers but only with the least resistance and things like going through slush will burn out an e-tec quickly. See a good amount of slush coming you can't avoid get a running start with an e-tec it will save your engine. Also when dealing with deep slush on a e-tec renegade is to slalom like you do when down hill skiing . You get up on one knee or sit further back position to get the front up and shift your weight side to side to create a slalom motion that clears the track and gives the engine a break.

+Tread Wisely Oh yes, we discussed that already, have a couple of sons chomping at the bit. Maybe they'll get the Renegade bc but they'd have to work for it lol! One new and one low miles sled is a requirement! Don't think I'd make much use of the pivoting throttle myself but nice to have the option as you pointed out. First impression for me was the vulnerability factor of using a "throttle by wire" when you consider the nature of electronic stuff but everything seems to ge going that way. Also have a Yamaha Grizzly on tracks and it sure fits the bill for short distance towing of heavy loads, an amazing work horse that goes just about anywhere. Loving the Dootalk forum, thanks for that!

The e-tec delivers but only with the least resistance and things like going through slush will burn out an e-tec quickly. See a good amount of slush coming you can't avoid get a running start with an e-tec it will save your engine. Also when dealing with deep slush on a e-tec renegade is to slalom like you do when down hill skiing . You get up on one knee or sit further back position to get the front up and shift your weight side to side to create a slalom motion that clears the track and gives the engine a break.

+Tread Wisely Oh yes, we discussed that already, have a couple of sons chomping at the bit. Maybe they'll get the Renegade bc but they'd have to work for it lol! One new and one low miles sled is a requirement! Don't think I'd make much use of the pivoting throttle myself but nice to have the option as you pointed out. First impression for me was the vulnerability factor of using a "throttle by wire" when you consider the nature of electronic stuff but everything seems to ge going that way. Also have a Yamaha Grizzly on tracks and it sure fits the bill for short distance towing of heavy loads, an amazing work horse that goes just about anywhere. Loving the Dootalk forum, thanks for that!

Nods. I haven't used my atv tracks in years. Got a utv set on the mini truck and J-wheelz on the outlander.
Thanks for the chat.

Thank you. Yes after the last comment reply you quoted there were a couple more discussions/comments in that thread as the person i was talking did answer me, even if i can't see my own comments after that date.
I guess i am blocked because nothing else makes sense especially when my other comments are there.
Thanks for confirming the problem.
It's truly weird the some of my comments people can see but i can't, but some comments only i can see when logged in.

Same here, I've just had my phone in the shop & the guy checking it out was there all afternoon until 1 of the engineers said that youtube had stopped updating their app for android, I can still make a comment but it then "disappears" then I use my "alternative" email address which make the comments re-appear again but can't delete my comment or reply to anyone who has commented on my comments, so under my current or alternative email address the comments are frozen once their made & remain! !
You're very welcome Tread ..... Also, I forgot to add -- It would be crazy for you to be blocked in any way. I scanned your comments and they could not have been more innocent. Something is really wrong with YOUTUBE. Like with most google and youtube issues, this problem will never be addressed.
We'll all type away till we're blue in the face and be ignored. Grrrr...

I'm another victim of being banned for no reason. So I guess there is no hope?
I doubt it Kroanos M. From i have read here,YT CS, and on similar threads is that all the YT tech support is doing is trying to keep people that complain quiet and that's about it. Some of the people that did get banned or ghosted moved to other streaming sites still using the same old reg email and they are not getting targeted. I run forums and this YT ghost banning as it has come to be called is far too user specific to be a glitch.
Look ~~ Yet another thread with endless complaints and no response from youtube/google.

I have had he same problems today. I went to my account and next to my name it had in blue type edit. I hit it went in and answered my 1 plus timeline all was okay then. Best of luck hope this helps.:)
It's called ghost banning. Search it up.
It may have an official name such as "ghost banning" and many of us are fully aware of this term, but the principal remains the same:
It is an insidious and demoralizing practice of muting dissenting opinions and intentionally creating a situation where users have no idea they are being muted.
This is an Orwellian subterfuge being tested on Youtube users.
It's detestable. Youtube and Google deserve to be fully admonished for creating this and supporting this function.

Tread - What other streaming sites do you recommend? I think I've just about had it with the Youtube system.
I took note of another very odd quirk with the comments. For some time now when typing either a new message , or editing an old one that YT would stall out and lock out any typing for sometimes up to to two minutes. You can not copy/cut/paste either during this stall either. You can however click on SAVE and re-continue the edit. Also when this stall happens no matter what you do with the mouse clicks or space bar YT puts up a "add to watch later list". I double checked the usual backspace key binding and all of mine in a bunch of OS's are disable or unbound in any browser. I don't see this as part of ghost banning but YT seems to be having a buffer overload because it's effecting the entire system even outside comments. For a while i had a couple hundred "watch later's" i never put it or even seen on YT so i could not have clicked on them. It's possible that this has something indirectly connected to ghost banning but from a few people i have watched commenting on youtube only a coulpe had this weird stalling.
Your replies to 'elite' members or 'government paid trolls' will not show up. Also comments of these 'elite' members will show up above everyone else even if they have no votes or replies.
Tread -- I have been experiencing the EXACT same things you are describing.
Yes, my space-bar goes crazy and refuses to work and seems to activate the
"watch later" function. The "stalls" you mention happen frequently as well, where I cannot type anything into the comment box and I do the same as you: save and then go back to it. Sometimes I resort to typing my comment on a text doc and then pasting to the comment box. In addition, when I use Firefox, I am unable to reply to anyone at all on any page. Using Chrome fixes this....at least for now.

Tim -- Here is what I have noticed. When someone starts a comment thread on Youtube, the person who started it now has the option of actually deleting the replies that they do not like. I found this out by accident recently. Someone made a very rude reply to something I said. I went to "flag" it, but then saw the option of actually deleting the comment, since I had initiated the thread.
I was surprised it worked, but it did.
Now, if you make a comment on someone else's thread, they can delete you.
If you are the one who began a thread or comment on youtube, you can now delete all the rude or trollish comments YOU don't like. Just something to keep in mind.

It's not only firefox but i did noticed that using a linux OS with firefox works much better on YT as it blocks remote commands. I don't get the stall when in the linux OS. I tried isolating ports on my firewall in windows 7 and i managed to stop the stalls on youtube. This makes sense because when you view a YT video on a forum link window it runs much better than on YT. Also comments work better on the drop down google+ windows (that bell like symbol top right of youtube page). If the videos or comments are isolated in a separate window or services they seem to work fine. As far as the ghost banning, perhaps if enough people reply to comments in that g+ drop down menu instead of the actual video's page we can begin to see a pattern to the problems.
None of my comments show up any more - even on my own channel. I cannot understand why. I can see them if I log in as myself but otherwise they are invisible. I get notifications of when people have replied on a comment thread I started or was participating in but I cannot see those comments either - I can read the comment in the email notice, but I cannot see the comment when I go to YouTube.
I have made very occasional caustic comments, but never anything abusive. I have made posts on a *lot* of people's channel pages - but they were all thanking people for subscribing to my channel. If I have done something to get marked as a "spammer" by some automated system or something how can I find out why I have been blocked? It's hard to find but there is a page that shows your standing on YouTube and it says that I am in good standing. Why have I been blocked? How can I get help? I can't find any way to get help except for forums like this - and as helpful as other users try to be, none of you can look up my account info and tell my why I have been blocked. How do I talk to someone from YouTube or Google? Does *anyone* know?

Wildstar --- This issue has been going back many years and Youtube/Google shows no signs of addressing it at all. Try using a completely different or NEW account with a browser you normally don't use. Using Chrome has helped me with some strange Youtube "bugs" but I don't know if it's at all related to this "ghost banning".
The only way to really see if your comments are being viewed by others is to completely sign out of everything and delete all browser history and then try to find your comments on a particular video link.
I understand your frustration -- believe me!
I have never called people names or said anything violent or abusive and yet this has happened to me. I may have unpopular opinions, but I do not attack people. I attack issues, but never people. Many people have said nasty things to me and I have never once taken the bait.
So, yes, all dissenting opinions must be banned apparently.
Welcome to our Orwellian world!
If you ever want to send me a link to see if I can see your comments, let me know. :-)

ANSWER: This topic has nothing to do with Google nor YouTube, their updates, your system settings, your computer malware etc etc. It has everything to do with the YouTube Channel Owner. As the originator of the work and manager of the channel they and they alone have the power to delete your post(s) and/or ban you from the channel. If you are, you and you alone will see your own posts, no one else. It's as if you were invisible to everyone except yourselves.
How do explain then that the comments comments are not even posted when commenting a channel I've never commented on before. Do you think the owner of the channel is lightning fast at banning ?
That is true for most part. The point being that when such a diva like channel owner decides to ban you it spreads like a disease across YT/Google. I mentioned this before that any video related to the one i got blocked or banned on ended up blocking me as well no matter who owned the channel/videos. The blocking of a person to specific genres, description tags and such isn't possible unless it's being guided. Right now this problem spread like the flu or ebola and eventually effects every one that came in comment contact.
Sounds a-lot like Typhoid Marry, not affected themselves but infects every one else they don't like until there is no one left to worship them.
I THINK I know why, I'm not sure but I think :) Maybe you have been blocked of some others YouTube channels earlier, it has happend me, I think. And when you get blocked usually you can't comment on the channel anymore, but maybe Google fixed that If you have get blocked of a channel then you can't comment on any single video on the whole Youtube anymore, for avoid other channels being annoyied.
This is so it works for me. Sometimes I can comment on a video but not always, sometimes it has also happend that I manage comment one time and everybody can see it but next time I comment on same video and it will not show up.
Maybe you must delete your Google Account and make a new, lucky me I havent start with videos yet and If you have already start then Im sorry, but don't delete yur google account yet because of it is maybe other sulotions. It do not work that create a new Youtube account, I've tried and does not work on this situations.

Perhaps we should send this "Ghost Banning" forum to Yahoo news! I'm sure if they have nothing exciting to report, they can investigate this BS for us & report it to the world!! This 'Ghost Banning' is another form of denying our freedom of speech. I think this will be a great news for millions of people to know about this & then YT & Google can burn like MySpace while Vimeo & yahoo will blow up (in a good way). Maybe that's the reason why Apple dropped Google like a dirty habit because they knew this BS was going to happen.
It would probably do well on yahoo for the simple reason that yahoo news and trends are almost always lame and this might prop up the quality of yahoo at lease for the short term.
It is true that many people are switching to smaller and or lesser known older services that have upgraded their services over time and not making the same or fewer mistakes as YT/Google. It's not only video streaming or social media either as current trends show the current general form of social media is wavering a little and all the new-comer social media products are not getting the attention level they thought they would get over time.
Many businesses & govts have gone back to Black Berry for the reliability and service even after all the unjustified attacks on blackberry the company came out with something even better and actually better not flashier or more bling, just better.
Don't get me wrong there are some good things on youtube but i did take notice that many of the good, funny, or instructional, or sales videos have locked out comments on their videos and i am not certain what to make of it.... Yet.

I don't know. It just started happening to me 3+ weeks ago. I've tried everything I can think of. And I've tried to find out how to contact YouTube support, and apparently, that's a non-starter. So I don't know what to do. I think if this persists, I'll probably stop bothering to relate to other users on YouTube. I've done nothing wrong, but for whatever reason, YouTube has chosen to censor my comments. Without even telling me. And they wonder why Google+ doesn't catch on very well as a social platform. If they would do things right, YouTube + Google+ would be huge.
Well, I've talked to a google rep & not tech support. She said to reset/change your Google password. I did it & it worked for me!!! I've checked just to make sure. I've logged into my YouTube account & post a comment. I logged off, went into youtube without logging in. Went to the video I've posted a comment on & I was able to see my comment!!!
berniedmj --- wow, thanks. I will certainly try this. If this is just a glitch, it will restore my faith in youtube completely, as I've been accusing them of the most horrid things, the least of which is the intentional act of stifling free speech and eliminating dissenting opinions.
I will follow-up and let you know. Glad it worked for you! :-)

Hi. I had already tried this and it does not fix the YT ghost banning if it was instigated by a block by a YT channel owner. I've been fighting with YT/Google for a while now and i have put my YT videos as unlisted and comments off and a BBS like site i setup just refs the video and handles the comments itself. It certainly saves the headache. I did notice that several people have started unlisting or disabling comments on their YT videos and i have to look up the links on other forms to be able to view them and i decided to try it and it does work.
I have been experimenting with this problem using two browsers (one logged in and one nobody logged in) and the problem is quite strange.
- On some popular UK videos I have no problem, but on a less popular UK video, my comment doesn't appear.
- On a EU video, the owner made a video asking why people like me have been marked as spam and then he has to manually restore hidden comments.
- Just now I was on a mediumly popular news channel, all my comments on each of his videos went through and then it didn't. Must have been around 9th or 10th video. Now it's categorically marked as spam.
I do not understand at all what is going on. None of my comments contain links. Youtube has told uploaders to interact with their subscribers and the other memo is ask them to post their opinion in the comment section. Clearly Youtube's own moto is "Post comments." Have they back-tracked from this statement? Why are comments of frequent posters being marked as spam and therefore kepts hidden (note that comment count goes up when you post something)?
Can't we get a warning that we're posting too many comments and are therefore considered a nuissance?
Is this a social experiment like that Jewish lady did on Facebook and didn't warn users? She just wanted to test them like rats to see their reactions when their comments wouldn't appear on newsfeed. Very horrible stuff.
One thing is for sure, I've used the "Feedback" link (bottom of YT pages) and reported every single comments that has failed to appear. I've even described it as "automatically marked and hidden as spam." At least when they read my comment, they will ask themselves, how could this count as SPAM?
Does it still work? I have impression it's a per-video problem and frequency-of-posting problem.
1) So a video hosted on a loaded server might take time to show the comment.
2) If you post too many (legit, no links) comments, then the system marks you as a spammer.
Yes the "too much commenting" does get you tagged as a spammer or troll. But that's been a problem since long before google bought YT.
The posting links is optional to the YT channel owner. Some videos accept external links but yes if it's not allowed then you get ghosted. The biturl shortcut links to videos seems to be accepted in general, but not YT's own direct html links which is really weird.

i think all this screwing up youtube and pissing off users is intentional.
maybe they want to reduce bandwidth and space being used and use psychological tricks to make people reduce wasting their resources.

It might also be that google/YT is ghost banning people that use adblockers. I've come across a few instances where adblocking or pausing the video in order to post a comment blocks the ability to comment (comment box won't load). Many times i have seen that i have to let the video run but mute the audio in order to post a comment. Try it out.
Also remember to type fast, use copy/paste or post/edit often, or make the comment in something like notepad before hand as once the video ends it resets the comments and kicks you out of the comments section and you loose your comment.
I've been having the exact problem and i cant seem to fix it, i even tied making a new account but it didnt work:(
Google is f**ed - now officially confirmed :

They got all these sharp programmers, at both YouTube and Google. I don't know why they can't get the social networking thing down. From the beginning Google+ was a pain. Then they made us integrate with our YouTube accounts. Why would I ever choose to take part in their social networking experiment, when they've ghost-banned me twice fro YouTube for no reason whatsoever. They've done nothing to correctly manage the commenting environment, except to come in way to late, with an extremely heavy-handed algorithm, that basically is just terrible. They lack leadership and Susan Wojcicki, however friendly, does not cut it, in terms of providing clear, succinct, thought-out direction.
What i can tell form observations in that this forum thread seems to be used as a stop gap measure for google/YT. Instead of figuring out and fixing the problem themselves they are using us to do the work for them. I am quite certain that many posters on this forum are sent by google/YT to goad us into getting answer for them. It's just an observation, however several of the solutions proposed here were directly implimented and quietly.
No matter here is a suggestion for those using *firefox* or chrome web browsers that does help a little.
1: In the top menu: Tools --> Add-ons --> Plugins --> Shockwave flash --> set to "never activate"
2: This will not stop adobe flash from showing videos on youtube, or vimeo. However it will stop the conflict between adobe flash and shockwave flash. This will stop yahoo videos from working though. SO you can go back and activate it again if need be.
3: When disable shockwave and watch a YT video you will get a very quick blakc screen with a white warning saying "plugin disabled" but it goes by so fast you can barely see it even on an old 800Mhz computer. After that adobe flash or HTML 5 takes over and there is no longer a conflict between the video and the comments section.
4: As for if this will bring back old comments i can't say for 100% of the old comments but the new comments with this technique do seem to be permanent.
5: If you don't alrady have the shockwave flash plugin then i suggest you goto adobe DOT com and get it, install it and start at step 1 again.
Good luck.

"I am quite certain that many posters on this forum are sent by google/YT to goad us into getting answer for them."Likely. Either that or they're simply too incompetent to know what they're doing. I was ghost-banned for about 2 weeks. I finally gave up and made a new account, completely erasing my old one. It let me post (publicly) three times, then banned me again. No reason was ever given to me, and I never did anything wrong. It was simply their way of saying "Welcome to your new account".
I don't know what can be done to be honest. It's obviously censorship or discrimination which ever way you look at it. The comments that vanish are still there in both google+ and youtube databases as you and perhaps a few others can actually see them when you log in so there isn't a glitch and here is a trick that seems to work. Being that i didn't know what parts of my comments that were offensive, and i still don't for the most part unless there is a web link in the comment. What i do is copy what i wrote in the hidden comment, delete that comment and start a new comment, paste my original comment into the new "fresh" comment/reply box and then look over what i wrote and re-organize what i wrote without really changing the content of the comment message.

I repost that same comment and it sticks this time... Go figure...

Next if you want to include a video link you comments then use the short form ID which looks something like this(no quotes) : "v=Au7j8D0WaC0". All youtube videos have this type of ID at the end of the link after the "watch?" have the "v=......." the "v=" including the rest of the link is the video ID on youtube so you can paste that "v=...." into the youtube search box to look up and it will bring up the video and avoid the youtube web link censorship.
Yes it takes more effort, however it's much less effort than remaking entire comments by a long shot.
Also it seems that youtube no longer allows biturl short links either. Therefore this is about the only solution left.

Posting the exact same comment 4 times like you did on youtube.com/watch?v=7F8ds4Sgw4M is considered spam.

and what has Google done???
NOTHING.. as far as I know the first post complaining about this issue was made on 10th January 2014, the most recent one was 2 days ago on April 20th. The problem has still not been solved.
It baffles me how one of the world's largest, most popular, richest, and successful corporations: Google, who is trying to promote Google Plus (with the whole YouTube and Google plus link) has such rudimentary errors and has still not bothered to fix them. I mean you believe that the whole world can see your thoughts but they actually can't, and the worst part is that you don't even get to know about it!
I'm not accusing Google of anything here.. it's probably (I hope) an accidental bug. But if Google didn't listen to 404 posts and 65 posts on another thread and has still not fixed the issue after more than 1 year and 3 months since it was first reported then we've got to make them listen this time!
Here is a rather long complaint I have made:

This happened to me to, there was this troll posting a lot of nasty comments, I then answered him in a rant of everything I knew, then my posted comment didn´t show up, so I took a deep breath, erased the parts that might have been offensive to people and posted the comment and now it shows when I´m not signed in, it seems like the Youtube user can also decide weather to delete or keep the comment, he might even post the comment with limited content
Me too! All of the comments that I make seem to be not showing up on videos about creationism versus evolution. It really sucks because I will spend like an hour on a comment and then it just shows up to me. I wouldn't be so bothered by it if they would at least tell me that the comment wasnt going to show up and the reason why, instead of putting it on the page when I'm logged in like it's actually there. That's just low. This is very sneaky and it has shaken my faith in Google and YouTube
I would be interesting to see the number of blocked comments to which side of the subject. If you follow the debate places like Florida have banned the study of evolution and will arrest any one that talks about global warming.
I'm not interested in the debates themselves but the ratio of for and against and blocked comments would be interesting.

I've been experimenting and when I type something incoherent or trollish/mean it always shows up. When I type something positive or a thought-out reply it rarely does.
Thanks, your solution worked! I have had the issue of comments not showing up for over 2 weeks.
I work in a tech related field: I had several theories of why I might had been blocked
1. my comments were blocked by a spam filter. excessive comments, + others comments I agreed with...too much of this?
2. I created a database that would automatically visit videos that I was interested in viewing more than once.
3. Accidentally flagged my own comment. From my children's accounts ( they are young so I monitor their accounts to ensure demented people are staying away from their videos)
4. Recently reset my security settings, and rebuilt home network.
Apparently I was wrong in every instance so thanks again for your hard to find advice. I plan to share it if that is okay with you, I will provide a link to your original advice.
By the way, everything on my system is completely up to date, OS, Browsers, plugins etc.
Thanks Again.
Even my second account won't work... I'm a marked man. But i don't give a shit.
I can see the comment I make with the account I make it with but when I switch to another account to see if the comment 'took'... it's not there. This happens with both accounts.

Got application manager . Then select youtube , Un installed updates , clear catches ,forced stope, and then do disable and do enable, and use it . The it will show comments again on youtube

Thanks, this comment made me relise why probably some peoples comments are being blocked... ... because they probably say shit like this and get reported... and google decides to block them from saying stupid/inflammatory stuff like that.

It's called "ghosting" and it's a very purposeful -though totally insane - practice on many websites such as Craigslist, Fark, Disqus, etc.
If someone doesn't like what you have to say, etc. In other words, if you've done nothing wrong but just "don't look right" in internet-speak, all your postings across major pages will be visible ONLY TO YOU.
So...I noticed I could see my Fark postings but never had a reply. I immediately thought "ghosting" so what I did was log out of my Fark account, clear my cookies and history, then go back into Fark as an "anonymous user"...bingo...no posting visible!
Now you're going to tell or ask my how I violated the TOU on this or other sites...after lengthy research I couldn't tell you. AND...while I try and sell a simple chair on Craigslist and get "ghosted", on other sections there are fucking prostitutes and literal drug dealers selling literal illegal drugs. Makes sense, eh!

Well it's official.. Google/YT is now banning me on here. My postings along with several other peoples (8 in total) have been deleted. Everything after the previous post is gone.
YouTube co-founder joins protest against comment changes

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/google/10449741/YouTube-co-founder-joins-protest-against-comment-changes.html
And fk this bull crap! My comments have been deleted aswell, as I see reading this (but Yahoo does the same anyway - simply try leaving a comment on the yahoo website, for example in an article where they are praising certain product:you write how it sucks, and you will see, that they will delete it there too...)
Was this thread's problem ever resolved? I created a youtube account yesterday to comment on a video and later that day I started questioning whether or not my comment even appeared. My other comments do not appear to show up. One of the few I left did, but the video uploader has clearly been online after I left my comment, which means he could very well have reviewed my post, decided it wasn't spam, then allowed it through. I found this thread by googling "why don't my youtube comments show up", and I think my comments are automatically being tagged as spam for some reason. I do not understand; please help. Would verifying my youtube account resolve this? I would have to borrow a cell phone to do it. I agree with whoever has said that the system not notifying you at all that this is happening seems really underhanded. It appears to me that my posts are going through, and I can only see that that haven't after logging out and refreshing the video...
It's a YES/NO answer. I've talked to a google rep awhile ago. She said they know about it so I'm guessing they're trying to fix it. She said to change your google password. I was getting "ghosted" on everything I commented on. After changing my password, it's a hit or miss. Meaning, people reply back to on certain vids & nobody replies back on other vids. So I don't know the "why" it does that but it does.

The video I made an account to post on has 28,000 more comments than when I posted on it so finding my post would be really hard with youtube's current comment system, but all of my other comments I left using that account appear to have shown up, including a new one I made, which showed up immediately as far as I could tell. Except for one and I dunno why.

I'm having the same problem, but mine seems to be a step farther: I get notifications that I have comments, and when I go to my video manager I can see and reply to the comments, but then when I go to the actual video, there are zero comments - all comments have disappeared. I've tried everything to fix it, to no avail. I've seen many videos of people talking about having the same problem from last year! When will this be fixed? This is my business channel...
I agree - my channel is an art channel; I don't talk about anything more political than one eraser being better than another. Unfortunately Google doesn't have a good track record of fixing glitches - I've encountered many in Gmail and on YouTube and the issues seem to linger forever with no way to contact anyone.
it appears to me to be totally random whether or not a comment I leave using my new account will be visible. On my new account I have left a total of 23 comments, and am able to check whether or not 21 of them are visible. Only 14 of the 21 comments I checked are visible.
The only reason I was unable to check all 23 comments I have left using the new account was because the two I couldn't check have had massive amounts of comments left on the video after my posting on it and finding them doesn't seem realistic given youtube's current layout.
Even though this is in the "Chrome" category on these forums, this is not a Chrome-specific issue. Also, yesterday as per someone else's suggestion I changed the password on my aforementioned new youtube account in an attempt to make my comments visible and it might have helped, but the numbers suggest that a literal third of my comments are simply not visible for whatever reason, and I left most of them after changing my password.

Thank you for this information. Does anyone know how to reset the possibility of commenting on YouTube videos?
when you're going to make a post there's a button says public next to the post button so make sure u press the public button first then post it

There are many things in this world that are extremely unfortunate and I do not want to address any of those things, but you appear to be implying that pressing that button- which shares a post on Google+- is the only way to make a post appear in the comment section. That is not true. If that were true then leaving a comment would be utterly meaningless without sharing it on google+, replies to comments would always be invisible, and the statistic of 90% of Youtube accounts never sharing a post on Google+ would be much, much lower, since if what you say is true, commenting without sharing a post on Google+ would only make your post video to the uploader, which is in most cases not the only goal in commenting on a video.

It's been doing it to me for years on and off, to the point I don't reply to people with much more than a few words anymore as what's the point if you never know if it will appear.
Same issue i log into different accounts to see if my comments are there and they NEVER are. I only say positive and honest things and I don't troll or harass people. Its really anoying and kinda seems like iv been baned basicly for being positive while i see countless negative comments from trolling, harassment, racism, and degrading of people. Thats ok to youtube? Hate filled coments are allowed but no positive ones at all.
Clearly youtube is government controled now and trys to "shut people up" for what im guessing is to stop the influence of positivity. This country has become a joke and an embarrassment to humanity any more.

YouTube comments are a joke. Partly due to YouTube's Orwellian censorship algorithms. It's actions exactly this limit the social network Google+/YouTube are trying to build, while further strengthening other social networks like Facebook. Unfortunately, management at YouTube is too arrogant to realize.
I've seen spammers post thousands of identical messages with the same link and the comment was NEVER deleted by google. But, if you as an individual, go against google's global vision of the world, you're gonna get ghost banned. As simple as that.
My comments show to me still I logged in. It gets vanished as soon as I log-out. How is this? Am I ghosted by spam filter?
Google allow pro paedophile comments but ghost mine telling people to boycott the BBC. There must be a way round this, ideas people........
I positively comment an ice cream video with a link of the ice cream website of the person in the ice cream video. I did not know it could be a threat for humanity. Anyway it would be nice an email that say "your comment did not pass our filter" so at least I know it.
From what I understand, youtube spams certain comments to make room for the comments THEY or Google want at the top of the page. Pointless.
You don't want to sign up on every website? You don't want your comments to be censored? But you'd like to share your opinions with the world? No problem! OpenComment provides free speech for the web - no censorship, no registration necessary. Freedom of Speech matters. FIREFOX addon. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/opencomment/ Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera, Internet Explorer, Android, Iphone - http://opencomment.org/download
Yes that would make things so much easier. I watched a video of an anime and left a link to the movie that's on YouTube and they erased ALL the comments I made in the comments of that video not just the comment with the link in it!
That's what all monopolies do - screw all. They don't care about quality as there is no competition. Youtube was once a nice place. After Google bought it - it sucks. The worst part is being so BIG they will not allow ANY other competition to appear.
It is called Ghost Banned and it has happened to us and here is a video we made on it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkZNh1jT6e4 on our channel Dreaming of Avalon where we tell how we got around it but it us disgusting that YouTube do this but the only way we got it lifted was send feedback on each of the video we were banned on but we talk about it on the video if you want to watch. Hope you get it sorted.
In my case the video has comments but after I POST, it says "comment posted".
BUT WHEN I GO SEE,ALL COMMENTS ARE GONE!
A MESSAGE READS "COMMENTS FOR THIS VIDEO ARE DISABLED" BS!!! THEY WERE JUST THERE!

Shakey McIovn thanks a lot for your post, OpenComment is very promising, I was thinking about implementing something like that myself and I'm very glad it has already been done. I hope our posts will be stored in a well protected server with frequent backups.I've already started copying some of my ghosted comments, here for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9sDxvsbsnA (I used the same nickname on OpenComment, FlightJazzCinema).
P.S.: in Firefox 38.0.1, I can't see the button which appears in the Google Chrome how to in the OpenComment web page. Instead, I activated OpenComment using the alt key to access the Firefox menu => Tools => OpenComment.
NicolaBB When you get to a website you want to leave a comment with OpenComment in firefox (FIREFOX addon. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/opencomment/) toggle
open the sidebar. I have been using an add on called All in One sidebar
since before I installed OpenComment so IDK/remember if Firefox gives
one the ability to toggle open sidebar by default, I think it does not
sure though. But if you cannot open sidebar by moving the mouse to the
side bar side of the screen and click it open then I would have to
suggest using All in one sidebar it would give that option and its a
good solid add on. I hope it works for you. I don't have the button
either not sure why. But don't really need it. I use Palemoon an
offshoot of Firefox but for other browsers Chrome, Safari, Opera,
Google/Youtube are doing this and banning people. OpenComment lets you
bypass the censors/admin. of all sites. This is great if more and more
people start using it and as time goes by people will see a need for
this add. It will snowball and then people will just comment on
OpenComment and ignore the sites own comments section because people
will know. Then no longer will a site be able to have any ability to
hinder freedom of speech. Losing important feedback. And they will have
done it to themselves. Truth prevails. Power to the people. Cause the
people want peace. So keep telling others. Please check out https://www.internetdefenseleague.org/

now congress is about to vote on whether to extend the Patriot act.
Thank you for you interest and supporting free speech.

Shakey Mclovn thank you, completely agreed, YouTube & others will still be able to show the text ads in their pages and their video ads (maybe they would deserve pages embedding their videos and hosting the debate, thus allowing to completely bypass the vision of their web pages, which would still permit them to show video ads anyway... but I think the OpenComment way to go is the best).Agreed, it is for the common good that citizens of different countries are able to _freely_ debate about what's published to the public sight, which is called right to free speech, which is what anyone can do out of the cyber space, in a bus, in a supermarket, in a private meeting, in a pub... (at least in theory, except some unlucky Peoples who don't even have the theoretical right to it).This is especially _crucial_ now when certain forces are preparing the public opinion ( = votes) to the eventuality of a third world war, or taking profit by spreading the fear of it.People are not always prepared to discern manipulation of their opinion, so it's still easy to set up hate and even cause violence by posting trollish threatening comments (or sending SMS messages, as it happened in... Kenya I believe, a few years ago) under a fake name. Many here noticed that this kind of comments do not seem to get ghosted and I'm not surprised, comments with some sensible content, relating proven facts, or inviting not to follow a hate wave built from "above" and instead think critically are apparently more subjects to ghosting, I'd be suprised at this point if it turned out that that is a glitch.A free debate "ocean" is indispensable for a progressively better understanding among Peoples and progressive minimization of chances that a few powerful ignorant greedy idiots screw the planet and the lives of millions.I had installed that very same version 0.44 of the OpenComment add-on for Firefox (I had followed the first link posted here) and it works just fine here, thank you!I don't need the button either, it's perfectly fine for me to simply press alt-t (=> Tools menu) and click OpenComment (if I wouldn't want to use the mouse at all: alt-t then down arrow a few times, 4 here, and enter). I mentioned the absence of the button just as a constructive feedback, so instructions can foresee the eventuality that that happens and not risk that anybody assumes that the add-on is not in good working conditions.
P.S.: went to https://www.internetdefenseleague.org/ and signed the petition, good that my signature was not rejected although I'm not in the USA because that made it easy to share in Facebook, among my contacts I also have some good friends in the USA (together with love for jazz, it's a supplementary motivation to hope that Benjamín Solaris Parravicini was wrong with that prophecy in which he saw the USA completely destroyed after WW3, a supplementary motivation to hope that the guys behind the USA foreign policy stop acting as dic#s and only think about getting more millions and more power to get even more millions, and hope they do not forget that they need a world to be able to spend their money... hope that they start respecting the auto determination right of other Peoples and stop demonizing ideologies they do not share or do not find too compatible with their businesses... However, I can't forget that drawing Parravicini made tenths of years before the Fukushima nuclear accident happened, which was _exactly_ the same drawing newspapers all over the world published about the Fukushima accident, Japan and the tsunami circles right there, "The 'F' bomb" was the title I believe... I hope this guy was wrong about other things).
Wow, reading all of the comments above me, it seems like Google/YouTube will not be fixing this minor issue. I made a few comments on some videos and none of my comments appears to the public but only to me.
Happens to me every day. Sometimes I try and post the same comment over and over to see if it shows up, and it doesn't. Then I try to reply to another comment and write something else, and it works. I don't know what the fuck is wrong with youtube.
I am not interested in any crazy conspiracy theories but what is happening is not a "glitch", it's fact.I often post on BBC channels, anti-BBC comments. Nothing illegal, nothing too long, no links. Just comments about how the organisation is biased, wastes money and how British people can legally evade their licence fee.If I post a negative comment from either of my accounts, it appears only to me. If I post a positive comment or post an unrelated comment on another channel, it appears as normal. I would consider myself to be not even 1% crazy, nor am I from Texas but I could quite easily demonstrate that Google/YouTube are omitting certain comments from public view. If this Google "glitch" is somehow hiding posts based on whether the content is positive or negative about a particular subject, then what a clever and convenient "glitch".I would agree with a previous poster that there are pro-violence, pro-paedophilia and other comments which would be illegal to say in the UK, posted on YouTube. However, some topics, Google/YouTube just does not want you to see....
have anyone tried calling the YOUTUBE representatives to find out what's going on?
Well, by now I think Google/Youtube "sells" the possibility to apply "filters"... at least on certain pages or channells... I started thinking of that possibility after commenting in a Youtube page carrying content related to the Argentinian political situation and the death of prosecutor Nisman, delicate stuff admittedly. Commentaries typical of paid trolls were visible, my comments inviting to reflect with calm and lucidity not to be fooled were not showing up.Such filtering is _not_ between some kind of "good" and "evil" criteria, I can provide details of why I say this.In short, for now: I wouldn't hurry in classifying as "paranoia" anything under that category, history is full of proven facts which told 50 years earlier would have earned the teller the "paranoid" certificate, or worse.
sorry, errata corrige:In short, for now: I wouldn't hurry in classifying as "paranoia"

uhhh even worst with the "errata corrige", sorry, I did not anticipate that formatting in my correction would get lost, again <blush>: as for paranoia, I wouldn't hurry in classifying anything under that category, history is full of facts which, if told 50 years earlier than they were proven to the public, would have earned the teller the "paranoid" certificate, or worse.
I'd been having a debate about a "copblock" type video with the author of the video for some time. I had started a new thread on that video page to comment on it. After several exchanges between the video author and myself, suddenly some random person chimed in calling me all kinds of filthy names. I responded using a little more tact, but still demonstrating what a pathetic case this individual was. So, this stranger and I ended up getting into this ongoing back and fourth. Suddenly, he's able to post whatever he wants on my thread, but when I respond to him, my comments get deleted, even though I initiated the thread and his comments use vulgar language, and mine do not. He still continues to post, but every time I respond, my comments disappear within hours, yet his are all still there untouched. This could in no way be a glitch, because it's only happening to my comments in that single discussion thread on that particular video. I had no choice but to assume that he's deleting my comments, but how can he do that if it isn't his video, and I started the thread? If he is able top delete my comments, how is he doing it, and why can't I delete his?
I have to be signed into my gmail account for my comments to show up. If I'm not signed in, my comments don't seem to show up most of the time. I'm confused as to why this is. I think it's a glitch, but I have made many statements in the past that would make emperor very displeased.
I only see my comments when I am in my gmail account. WHY ? Google/Youtube make me to loose my time. What sense is to write opinions nobody cound read it?Mis comentarios en los videos parece que solo los veo yo. Si entro a Youtube sin abrir mi correo no esta apareciendo nada de lo que escribo. Me parece que me hacen perder el tiempo permitiendo que opine pero impidiendo que alguien me lea. Parece que Google no sabe administar a Youtube. Para que lo compro?
guys guys relax google is not trying to take our freedom of speech you should realize that with all the comments about google being pricks here they didn't delete that and are not trying to censor you either. i was about to get seriously pissed right along with you, but i set out to figure out what the hell is up with that.it is NOTHING but an automated spam blocker, i have run across these in the past but the one on youtube is very touchy. first turn off all your hiding shit like ghostery and set your content settings to normal, make sure your content settings allow third party cookies. then no copy and paste, also it does not seem to like links even if they are to youtube videos. but it seems they are okay as long as you don't use www- like this my site www.tribal-wars.co is not allowed to be posted, BUT tribal-wars.co is perfectly acceptable. also do not make the same post over and over, rewrite it every timedo these thing and you should have no problems at all
Thank you Chase X, makes complete sense. ;-)
Thanks Chase X. I'll try that.
I doubt is a glitch but I also doubt about conspirators.
I think there is a over dimensioned filter with unknown rules.
What is shame is that Google does not answer.
If youtube will no longer be a social place but only a videos place, fine to me, but why don't simply tell it?

same here
they obviously need to get the politically incorrect comments out of the way m8 :^)it's not as if the goyim would believe the shoah if they didnt
Just hate google plus
I'm getting the same issue. I'll post a reply thats perfectly normal and it takes it off. Never happened on my other account even if i threatened someone violently, but its happening now that i remade my account-_- what the fuck google
Doubt this will show but wth, i'll give it a shot. This is the second account this has happened to. After a few months of activity, and comments available to the public, suddenly they become invisible to anyone other than myself. As another commenter said, I know what I am thinking, why give me the illusion of sharing my opinion? If I am being written off as Spam, just delete my channel. I guess it's better for them to give spammers and trolls the illusion of being seen. That makes sense to me. But it's not the trolls that get blocked? It's all the supportive comments. If I reply directly to someone, it may or may not show. Yahoo Answers has this amazingly simple system that uses keywords in your question, that sorts it into a category. If YouTube used this, it could than use a sub-system to identify keywords and phrases in the comment section. (Good job, great video, loved the..., and words related to the topic matter, or general supportiveness.) This would allow YouTube to filter out truly supportive encouraging comments, from Negative Keywords (Free tickets for cruise, and I want to bang, and general trolliness.) It would appear the current system blocks if you comment too frequently. Which makes sense. A lot of commenting on a lot of videos, is spamming. However, when the video has several topics, and you want to address them respectively, you get marked as spamming and blocked. At least that is what it would seem. How many of you have commented on 5+ videos within the past 2 days?? That is fairly frequent, you must be a spammer, block. I am going to make a new account for the 3rd time now, and only comment and show my support when they truly deserve it. You want topics? Sorry, ask someone else. You want to hear our opinion? No can do's ville baby doll. You'll have to hear it from the trolls.
It only takes 1 person to flag you. Google does not check if it is flagged for a reason and you'll not know you have been flagged. Like facebook. They never check anything so they removed pictures of my cats for violating Disneys copyright.
I'm experiencing this as well. Some comments seem to get through, and others don't. The ones with links seem to be invisible, though not all are, and some without links are also invisible. I'd like an explanation from Google, though given the length of this thread and the TOTAL absence of any administrator or developer input gives me no hope that I'll get one. This is ridiculous and upsetting. I want to be able to participate in discussions on YouTube, and the fact that it pretends like your comment is posted when you're signed in makes it seem cowardly. I'm not saying they are destroying freedom of speech, I realize they are a private company, but that does not excuse them from misleading their users and giving no way for the users to respond to being shadow banned. I've been a YouTube user for coming up on a decade and I'd like to feel like the developers of this website are willing to treat their users with respect.
I still have no idea why I was ghost-banned. I almost always
left helpful comments. I'm not a bot or an advertiser. And the fact
that the YouTube engineers would design such a system, as to continue to
invite me to post, while censoring those very posts, and not telling me
is highly unethical.
If there was something that I
inadvertently did, that flagged their anti-spam algorithm, all they need
to do, is have an automated email sent to my address, informing me of
what I did, and how I can avoid doing that in the future as to not be
banned. Instead, they've implemented this behind-the-scenes slight of
hand: mentioning nothing, and presenting to the user (me) as if
everything is fine, while effectively removing my comments from the
greater community.The engineers who implements this wouldn't like it if it happened to them. But then again, it would never happen to them, as they're fully aware of how their algo works.
It's basically a disaster, but the guys developing it don't get why it's so screwed up.
Until some major news source such as the BBC publishes a story about this, I doubt anything will change on this deceptive comment censoring for the foreseeable future.
While this thread is running a year and a half and may look long, it is tiny compared to the number of comments a typical music video gets, even if 1% were visible to others to read, so I'm sure the team involved with the YouTube comment system consider this a non-issue.
What is annoying is that some other sites have started doing this type of comment censoring, so it's well worth checking that your comments are not silently censored regardless of where you post, not just YouTube, i.e. open the article in a private tab and see if your comment is still there. CBS Networks run sites such as Tech Replublic also do this with their user comments.
Most properly run comment systems at least show that your comment is awaiting approval (e.g. for new users) and will generally always let the comment through for those with good standing accounts with no recent infractions.
I'm sure if YouTube properly showed users that their comments are awaiting approval, this would probably cause an uproar compared to the present method where I estimate over 99.99% of its users are completely unaware that no one will ever see most of their comments.

It's called "ghosting", where you can see your own comments but they don't actually get posted. Supposedly it's a fault of the automatic spam blocker algorithm that some people get falsely auto-marked as spam.
It's a shitty excuse if there ever was one. The VAST majority of blocked comments people here have made are not even remotely spam. While I'm not so sure google has the time to micromanage enough to enact any kind of censorship, it is clear that it's an atrocious bug resulting from sloppy code and total apathy typical of all mega corporations.
Just google "youtube ghosting" and you'll find HUNDREDS of topics about it. It's a massive issue, and no, google won't fix it, because they don't care.
I can't see ANY YouTube comments then I CAN, then I CAN'T. It is not censorship of my comments. When I can see comments I can post comments and they are there when, eventually, I can see them again.
As there is apparently no way for anyone to contact anyone in Google, and Google do not want to know or even care about problems then the only thing we can do is stop using Google services where there are alternatives available.

The same things happening too me and I dont know how to fix it. Ive checked all my settings and all the safety settings are turned to off. Also, when I go to the comment section on videos it says that comments have been disabled. I know these havent been disabled for other people though because I had someone screenshot the comments and send it to me.
Me too, ffs google, fix it
Ridiculous. I made a comment on a video (which is visible this time) and many people have been replying to the comment, discussing among themselves, some disagreeing with others but it's all very civil and it's basically a normal discussion one would expect on a public platform. There have been a few dregs trickling in and adding their usual capslock fury full of ad hom and nothing valuable. I checked via the bell notification and most of the replies - the civil ones - have been ghosted and reported as "abuse" and "spam". I had the option to restore them, which I did, since these people were simply having an adult discussion with no ill intent. But the actual abusive comments? Nah, they hadn't been ghosted at all and were plainly visible (I assume these idiots were the ones flagging everyone else, since they couldn't hold their own in an intelligent debate). The system is completely broken and skewed against the very thing G+ claimed it would facilitate - constructive dialogue.

I'm sick of this as well. I keep leaving some great comments about music and guitar lessons and I think ones been published. Otherwise not a sausage!
Just a Quickie. Do I have to subscribe to leave a comment? Haven't seen any info on it.
Same here.
i can only see my comments when i'm logged in...
We need a youtube alternative. Because it's getting out of hand. They want full control.

Whatever the intention of this feature, this is a genuinely cruel way to go about it.
"Oh yeah sorry, the reason you feel like you're being ignored is because we've been secretly manipulating you for an unknown amount of time. Possibly years for all you know."
You are monsters.
Me too! Thanks, YouTube/Google, you are totally right to censor my views on gender equality and equal opportunities for all people! I see you've let the people I was corresponding with continue to advertise their extreme right wing views, so, you know, yay! The last thing these people need is to see that their views might be challenged! YAY!
Thanks again!
@Commentyproblems, it's really not to do with what kind of views they are (I've seen plenty of right wing people in this thread saying the same thing), people are trying to make this a conspiracy about certain opinions which is just not true. I've had things as innocuous and non-political as commenting about gaming or music being ghosted. I think at this point it's literally a broken spam filter, or stems from other people reporting comments as spam even if they're not (because the thumbsdown was removed, and some people are just petty and don't understand debate or that there are opinions other than their own so they just flag people instead).
Since the integration of G+ youtube commenting has been a huge failure all round, and ghosting is insideous because it's cowardly and dishonest. They should at least let people know, or ideally get rid of this worthless "spam" filter entirely and bring back captchas.

My comments appear on my Google+ account but not on the actual video. Why is that?

That's because you are being fooled into thinking your comment is "posted" when it's really not. That's the root of the problem: youtube and google have been IGNORING this glitch for years now (or else it's not a glitch and quite intentional) and they don't seem very motivated to fix it.
I agree with the previous poster that other people "flagging" comments they don't agree with could be causing this.
Someone on this thread thought that pro-gay comments were being deleted.
Highly unlikely since the main YOUTUBE page was advertising the Pride celebrations and generating millions of clicks. So, it obvious that the owners of Youtube have no issues with gay people.

I KNOW IT'S SOOOOO frickin stupid Google should totally fix this glitch its really pissing me off how when I comment it won't show up.
Well i bet this doesnt get through but Youtube has muted one of our conversations and ill be making sure people know about it
the comment is "lemme guess the terrorists are musims right?"
they wont let me reply at the end with this:
"Its a difficult one huh ;s Are there any sites where most muslims know of that are credible then? thats good if there are. The people around ISIS and fighting them will need it for inspiration against brainwashed kids. Dont worry so much about the general public they will come around. Everyones racist until they meet that race its just how it is right now where you get either lost angry kids or those old folks who generally hate everybody that blindly follow Rupert Murdoch's et al "news". His net worth is going down for a reason: hes a dumb fuck. I myself was also racist as a kid for a few years until (in my specific case similar among many others) I went to London for my work experience whilst at school. I knew of every nigger and paki joke under the sun. They quickly made me realise how we were not so different when it comes down to the vast majority. Now 3 of my best friends=Jew, Hindu, and stevo from Trinidad.I think what made me racist was just a misinterpretation of culture i didnt actually know anything about nor did the person telling me (=ignorance/jokes/chinese whispers and the root cause of it all, crime). Its from a cycle that needed to happen: multiculturalism. But a consequence of immigration is crime and thats what set off a lot of past (in present with some people) racism. Youve got to love troublemakers, because without them there would be nobody to stand up to politicians. So from that, i think humor, talent, and general kindness is what wins dumbass's like me over. Most politicians have never had any of those things; because theyre scaredy cats and never went out their way to understand the general public when they were all grown up... something i guess you dont really need to do when you have a lot of money and live in a bubble. Theyre pitied and made fun out of in most realities and look at what happens to celebrities caught up in that. COUGH TOM CRUISE / half of them."
Why would they do that?
nevermind i just changed nigger and paki to "nig" and "pak"
i have the same problem.. Is this because i sometimes make political comments??
Is Google censoring the people? No more freedom of speech?

All of us seem to have the same problem . What do you all suggest we do about it if anything we can ? This issue really has me hot under collar . I see People posting racists , violent , inhuman BS and they do it on a regular bases and no action has been taken against them .
hello youtube i am not able to post my comment its not showing up is ther any problem ? please kindly reply

Is this a glith?
Or is Google cencoring people who make political comments? For example on 9/11 videos? etc
It seems to me that its censorship...
I posted on here about a year ago when I was posting a lot about atheistic ideologies.. for about 2-3 months I was ghosted like the creator of this post..
I passed through that phase and I'm more neutral on the matter now and I haven't been ghosted ever since.

Read the subject : Youtube Posting Text So everyone can see it on You YouTube channel Home page? HOW DO I do it I see other people do it PLEASE RESPOND
It's obviously censorship considering the fact that everyone is tricked into believing their comment is viewable unless they log out, and there has been no answer at all given from youtube about this issue. This is not a glitch because there would be at least an acknowledgement from google concerning this. They wont fix what's not broken.
Going to post one of my ghosted comments here, just for fun.
Taking a shot in the dark here but it is an effective method of influencing public opinion. Let's say, for whatever reason, Youtube/Google disagrees with something you have said. Sure they could ban your account but it would be pretty obvious that they were influencing the conversation. Instead, they allow you to keep on commenting, letting you feel as though you are part of the conversation. Meanwhile you are only really talking to yourself and the majority of youtube viewers are kept in their nice little Google/Youtube approved echo chamber. Assuming I'm right, you probably won't even see this comment... lol

I can actually see your comment, just so you know.
same here....all the sudden...when i tried to post comments....it says "opening" but it never does and doesn't let me comment.
STOP BULLSHITTING EVERYONE!! JUST GIVE US A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM!!!
I've been having the problem too.
See my post to the official google+ help community.
Same problem here. But I can't even believe that it's a censorship problem. Seriously, I commented on a PewDiePie video saying something like "voice acting game on point". Is that really so horrible it needs to be "censored"? I don't understand.
Funny and sad how Google is ignoring this.
Is someone from YouTube/Google supposed to interact with us on these forums then?
Thanks for that idea. I have been stating my thoughts hoping to help people wake up to stuff going on, and now find I CANT comment in any way at all, unless the little "reply" thing works under someone's name, that's it. Can't enter a basic comment or even discussion. The "post" button is always greyed out. Doesn't matter where I go either. Everywhere. So I will try this.
I use google chrome for my fb........for 2 weeks I have been having to refresh any page on fb after EACH new comment is made on a post on my wall, or in any group I'm in to be able to see it. It's annoying as hell when you got a bunch of ppl replying and you have to refresh each time to see who commented next.
Dude, i think you need to lay off the drugs....you're a little paranoid, buddy......look at the endless complaints of the same issue - it's not someone in ur computer. And if you do call the police, I would recommend hiding the drugs first - and maybe getting a few nights rest WITHOUT doing meth, coke, salts, crack, or whatever you're on. Good luck dude, and hope you aren't as paranoid in a few days, lol.
I have this problem as well. when i log in posts show and when i log out my posts are gone.
I swear to fucking god. This is FUCKING PISSING ME OFF. I swear I could care less if everyone on earth boiled in a pot of water alive right now.
Fucking could care less if everyone boiled in a pot of water alive right now. I'm really not kidding. If someone dies in front of me I will seriously walk away right now and not give a fuck. Fucking bullshit. GOD DAMNIT SO MUCH HATE RIGHT NOWOWOWOWOWO god. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fuckckckkckckckckckckckckckkckc
Where the fuck! Are my FUCKING comments! You fucking weak, FUCKING TWITS!
That's it. I'm filing lawsuit.
Same issue when I'm talking about the Moon Landings
I'm a Telecom Engineer and when I try to prove we never went on the Moon many of my posts do not show up to others.
I went without signin and my post wasn't there but still show up to me when I'm log in.
I posted comments of a political nature and am now not able to post any comments at all on any video. I wonder if people hit "report" enough times and my comments are now not allowed. I hit the comment field and my keyboard won't pop up.
As YouTube/Google are not engaging us on this issue, I suggest we start posting videos to highlight the issue to other users.
Because of the nature of this "ghosting", many people will be unaware their opinions are being censored, lets tell them....
Yes, however they purchase legislation (aka "OWN" them) along with other large corporations.
Same...
Recently, I've got tis prob. too.
I cn comment stuff on Youtube but it doesn't show up on Google+.
Tho luckily ppl still cn like / comment & they cn oso c ma replies.
I cn c theirs too.
Only prob. is it doesn't show on Google+ which I rly wan it to as to check fr typos / chances to modify statements.
I was reading other comments & I doubt it's government as I'm frm Malaysia.
I believe mayb do u have to upgrade / update Google+ or like another comment on here; mayb based on previous comments or something which was offensive & Google+ disabled ur account or something like tat...
Oso could b a glitch; which if so. Hope it'll b fixed soon.

I have the same issue and I really think my account has been flagged somewhere (even though I am never rude or offensive). I wonder how you can at least find out what happened. I also think it's weird that I've just been commenting video and they're only there for me to see. I wonder if the channel owners get to see them for review or something.
Google is bullshit
I believe I have found the root of our problem. As many people before me have already said It's most likely due to a dysfunctional spam filter. I noticed that my comments get ghosted after I use the copy and paste function, and I do use it often since English is not my first language and sometimes I need a translated form of what I wanted to say. Fortunetly after a day or two my replies are visible again. It's not some crazy conspiracy where google tries to suppress our opinions, but a rather uneffetive way of excluding spammers from the community. I also think that it makes sense why long and thoughtfull opinions so oftenly get ghosted; the intellectual authors surely copies and pastes quotes, links to sites and/or hard words from the dictionary, while the short and simple comments often lacking punctuation marks usually aren't pasted. So my tip is: DO NOT COPY AND PASTE.
Websites are not the government, they don't have to respect your right to free speech.
Check to see if you've been ghost-banned. (One of YouTube's apparently favourite things to do.)
My comments are showing up on the videos, but when people reply to them there reply's are not appearing in my notifications.

It seems that the people who are politically active in commenting, or fighting against the official lies of the state, are the ones being targeted.
It's more proof that they were correct all along. If they are just wild conspiracy's, then why try so hard to block them? it seems the conspiracy movement is bang on, and their actions against them prove it. " If google doesn't like who you are or what you are saying, it will not publicly show your comments/replies.
it's all political, watch some youtube videos about it. google youtube is owned by the government now, literally"
The hilarity of the self contradictory nonsense in this statement is amazing.
I've had all kinds of comments disappear, come back, and disappear again. They are on any number of topics from 9/11 truth to BBQing techniques. Ascribing a secret plot to something as mundane as youtube comments is rather ridiculous. Think about it, we are here in the google forums discussing the very thing you believe they are doing. Are they powerless in their own forums?
Heyy, every1.

It is kind of weird, because I am watching a series of videos, and in the videos number 1-7, there are comments like normal, but in video 8 and 9, there is no one commenting, just me. But then in video 10, the comments are there just like normal. Its so strange. It makes me feel lonely sometimes. All the other videos I have watched have comments to. So weird..
hi latese
make my commetr shoew up
It's happening to me too! My channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChjhlwm62kUHKsXWGTyQ8gg AND whenever I comment on my subscription's videos it never shows up! I've tried logging out and looking at it, and no comment! This started like 5 days ago. :(
change to chines video providers........very better than all...........CHINA is better than alll
To musicians all over the world who first think to post to YouTube: read articles on alternative video sites to YouTube that musicians are posting to.
Music itself and major labor inflating of YT hits are MASSIVE income for YouTube. The ludicrous amount of posts over TIME on this topic versus one banal expert reply that cannot be proven is loud and clear...
english
This is exactly me
A simular thing has been happening to me for ages now, I can only reply to other peoples comments and can't start any new ones. If I add a new comment I see it perfectly fine when logged in but if I log out the comment doesn't show. It has nothing to do with add ons or browsers, I've tried it on all. It's Google ghost banning users. Why they thought it was acceptable to not tell anyone and let them think their comments are being posted perfectly fine is beyond me. It all started to go wrong for youtube when Google decided to force everyone to use Google+ .....
I Have done so
I have posted calculations wrt Heat Transfer Anomalies & Mass Transfer Anomalies, Thermodynamic Anomalies, Strength of Material Anomalies, and Newtonian Physics on certain topics wrt MOON LANDINGS & 9-11. And it was not just the one time this happened. It happened on many threads the same post being deleted.I"M ALSO HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM YOU"RE HAVING !
MY POSTS ARE NOT BEING POSTED BY YOUTUBE OR GOOGLE !
SOMETHING IS WRONG HERE !
I have been posting comments on YouTube without any problems but now all of a sudden i am having problems with posting a new comment? I can see my comment myself after posting it which if i refresh the page it is still there however the next day it's not there?? If i reply to someone else's comment my reply comment will show up that way but i can't create a new one?
I don't know if this applies to any of you, but I discovered that when I copy-pasted my comment, it didn't appear (even though there is no url link in it) (I usually type my comments in a text editor if they are long and then copy-paste them in youtube). But when I resorted to re-typing my whole comment manually in youtube directly, it appeared (even though it's the exact same comment as the copy-pasted one).
Confusingly, when I experimented copy-pasting the same comment in a different video, it appeared. So it was only for one specific page that it didn't appear when I copy-pasted it.
Mine basically hav no issues with comments on Youtube, seeing notifications, watever.
Main problem now is Google+. My comments on Youtube juz doesn't show up there. Tho I've already gave up on it so doesn't rly matter. :P
Another issue which is quite frustrating but I believe it's my PC at fault, is I can't seem to tag ppl in comments. Tho I can do it juz fine on other PCs or thos ppl I folo on Google+ on ma phon.
:)
:)
Exactly what you said. There really needs to be some way to talk to a representative to get accounts corrected or to find out what specifically is wrong. I have had the same exact problems that you discuss.
It seems like if I post a comment on YouTube directly, the comment shows up. But if I post a reply through Google+ it will not show up on the YouTube video. It's a glitch, not a conspiracy.
It really is censorship.
What I've been posting about is medical fraud, murder, torture, rape, highly illegal surveillance, censorship, and human experimentation. For some reason only I see my comments when I'm logged in. If you want to read about it check out the link.https://www.tumblr.com/search/covert%20harassment
Well Guys Same Happend to Me . I Just Gave A Comment about A youtube Channel . i just Said This Channel Providing Wrong Info And Stuff . After That Comment, My Comments are Not Publicly And know i have to Use Share Icon for Share Comment Publicly on Google +. I Just Want To say Why Only Us , There Alot of people who Debate . Gice Recist comments But Why Us Who Just Say Right About SOME STUFF that is wrong .
My u tube comment option not showing plz help me.
I have been suffering with the same problem. I noticed there was a drop down thing where you make your initial comment to declare whether or not you wanted to have it "public" but now even that has disappeared. And it is like I have become invisible on yourtube now.
Yes! Thats what it seems like to me too. I feel like maybe people must of flagged my comments or something, so they made it where my comments would be invisible, and the worst thing is that you cannot even manage to discuss it with anyone. Many people just flag comments because they disagree with someone and they want the person shut up. If someone says something rather controversial, all people have to do is flag them, which is awful.
I often say some pretty controversial stuff but what is happening to my comments is that I can see them just fine but for the last couple of months there are no comments at all to anything that I say, which did not used to be the case at all. The worst thing is that there is no one there to even ask about it. Like, okay, if I did something wrong, what is it that I did wrong then? And what can I do to fix that?
I know how you all are feeling and I've done all my research on YouTube commenting. (using a few proxies and a couple hundred YT accounts)
Google updated their filters with adding BGR to each webrequest upon sending a comment. (BGR is short for Bot Guard Response) Bot guard response codes are generated using a custom built JavaScript virtual machine that is extremely protected and if anyone can crack it please contact me.
It's still 100% possible to comment as before you just cannot copy and paste; this is Google's failed attempt to stop spammers from spamming.
FYI: I am the #1 sp3rmer and I will continue to sp4m YT commentz 4 lyfe.
For me, I can see them when I'm logged in but when I log off, I can no longer see them on the comment section so I never get any replies. I don't think anyone else can see them either. And that goes for all my comments.
Even when I reply to other comments. Not only the ones I post. They don't even show up when I change it to 'Newest First'.
I agree with you I do not know why it not playing
I doubt that is the reason. I am having the problem, and my video is a children's song that no one could possibly take offence at. It's not political, religious, or anything else.
Sometimes a glitch is just a glitch.
I want to remove two comments I made on a youtube video but I can't see them. When I sign in I can see only 51 comments 2 or 3 of them are mine but there are 2 that I want to remove but I can't see them. The main post and all the comments are not visible but when friends go to this same video there are are 102 comments including the 2 I want to remove. The whole world can see my comments if they want to but I'm the only one who can remove them. How do you remove something you CAN'T BLOODY SEE!!!!! I've spent hours trying to fix this and until I can remove these comments I am not commenting on youtube anymore. It could happen again with something I very much regret saying.
Random glitch my foot. Google is just one big blood GLITCH!
I've been ghost banned
Never had a problem until commenting on a video today. It does show, but only when I'm logged in to my account. Google is literally telling us to keep our comments to ourselves. Wow.
I find it very odd that my well written critique is not visible unless I log in, While all the candy coated comments are visible to all. I didn't use foul language or say you suck, ect. I gave honest feedback and called this guy out on his hypocritical content. Unfortunately no one will ever see it, they'll just read the "you rock" comments as if every viewer absolutely loves this guys weak content. Again, the comment was not deleted just not visible to anyone but me. So I guess that's what engagement now means, You can comment on your own comments to your hearts content.
Sure it could be a bug, but this is a year old post with 10,000 views and 552 additional posts. I'm not the only one with this issue so it seems a bit suspect.I am now pretty sure its just about how many comments you write per minute. And maybe also how long they are (maybe lines per minute?). If you exeed a certian limit you get ghost banned. Twitch for instance has similar "spam filters". Write a short mention as feedback and they will usually unban you within a day or less and all your comments will be visible again. Alternateviley the OP of a comment chain can unblock your comments manually and as far as I know also the creator of the video.
I dont know why google is ignoring this though. Maybe just bad PR. Google isnt exactly known for their customer support.
This is crazy...my comments stopped being visible to the public literally right after I made a comment about Donald Trump. Thats the last comment I made before nothing showed up again.
actually, my friend... everything is wrong.......

Well I get that when I paste text or links. If I type my comment it doesn't get invisible.
fuck google cunts. dont gime likes i see on my analytics i have a heap of likes but on my videos itss fucked up
Also have the same problem, I never say anything abrassive, fix this Google YouTube is basically useless because of this issue.
How is this still happening? It started when they moved to the G+ system. A comment I posted last night does not show up logged out, but two short replies I made to other people on the same video do.
No links in the postThis is my case exactly... Back before G+, i was having a healthy YT interaction,many of my comments had plenty of likes, I'd get plenty of responces etc, ever since they switched to this G+ crap, I have no idea if what I've commented gets out. It took a months after that switch before I even got my first reply to anything. Now, I'll write a comment, then a few days later, if I look at that page again, someone else will have made a similar comment expressing the same idea, and there's will have like 400+ upvotes, I expect that maybe 1 out 10 comments/replies I make are actually visible. Sometimes Google will just send me notifications about comment threads I didn't even comment on. It's just ridiculous.
That's probably true, because every time I talk about Israel (I am proudly Anti-Zionist) my comments never go through. I hit reply, nothing happens.
SOO TRUE I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE IT'S SOO BAD NOW I CAN NOT EVEN HAVE THE OPTION TO MAKE MY COMMENTS SHOW UP ON MY GOOGLE PLUS THEY HAVE ME TOTALY ISOLATED IT'S A BULLSHIT WEBSITE AND OFCOURSE IT'S BECAUSE I AM A DEEP TRUTHER THEY STOPED MAKING MY COMMENTS BE VISABLE ALONG TIME AGO BUT NOW NOT EVEN PEOPLE IN MY CIRCLES SEE MY COMMENTS THIS IS JUST MESSED UP I REALLY AM THINKING ABOUT LEAVING YOUTUBE
Same here, fuck both Youtube and Google, censor this too you fucking cunts
What is this? The "Great Waste Basket"? A place where YT problems are granted immortality? I think "YT help" it is an oxymoron.
me too
All of my post for the past month aren't showing-up looks like they have finally got a strangle-hold on the whole internet, I'm often deleted from The Guardian, Youtube, The BBC Website and even RT, unless you fall inline with the rest and promote the LGBT agenda, praise the coming World Government and US foreign policy... you'll be censored - period.
Can any one tell me if they can see this video on my google plus page? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjEvqUmdth8&feature=share
My google name is Sood81
It's a video of P a l e s t i n e 1896
There are some post missing from my page when I view it when I am not logged in. Which is not normal cause I posted some other video's the same day 20 september 2015 and only one is showing.
So basically they allow me to posts video's on my page, but they don't make it possible for others to see. Which is what I'm guessing.
links to my page Sood81
when I'm logged in : https://plus.google.com/b/102331735368626396084/102331735368626396084/posts
when I'm logged out: https://plus.google.com/102331735368626396084/posts
please check these page links, cause Sood Eightyone is not the same page as Sood81.
I made comments on guns in America..... Big mistake.... There'll be no replying to comments on THAT subject for me anymore :-0
It creeps me out that I can be singled out and hushed like that... *shudder*.... MANTRA: "I live far away from USA... I live far away from USA...." hold me
I used to smile at when some suggested that the Internet had become self-aware [AI], but today concede that if we aren't already there we are getting very close to that point. I get thrown off the BBC, Guardian and RT websites regularly but hadn't until recently noticed the same was happening on Youtube.
It is only a matter of time before sites with content that doesn't agree with their agenda begin to drop-off the search engines until finally, when their hosts are forced by law to cease offering them a service are cast off there also if they haven't by then already dwindled to nothing.
The whole of Germany hearing only one voice did terrible things, and by the same control of media do the subjects of North Korea look to their leader as their god and saviour. And thus when the whole World hears the same line, will they suffering strange threats all pull together with these workers of wickedness.
Matthew 24:9
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

I'm just wondering now if this post will see the light of day very long.
Crazy days lay ahead of us.
I saw a very nasty comment posted on You Tube, this morning. When will people learn never to post such bad comments? We get this wonderful You Tube for free. Please respect them and Google. I plead to the public to stop using profanity.
YAY!
My comments seem to b bak to normal nw except tat there dn't show up on Google+ but I alrdy gave up on tat.

Ain't Google just fucking great! Instead of addressing a problem they give us a damned forum! A lot of good this does!
Google Sucks!
For some reason here they use the universal sign for sharing posts, for replying to posts which causing confusion.
It should be obvious to all that having gained almost total control over our media, the permanent dark forces shifting behind the facade of Western Democracy have been tirelessly devising ways to control the internet, I give it another five years and the job will have been done.
Hitler having gained control of the media and pumping-out the same message, turn his people into monsters, and by the same do the populace of North Korea believe their leader a near god and saviour. And so by the same will the Whole World by believing a lie churned out by those dark forces, turn the whole World to hate God's people and the truth, even the Word of God.
Matthew 10:22
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
honestly i only have the comment problem when i post links in the comments,they show up on the desktop version but not on the youtube mobile app.
does that mean that links also wont be showed?
thats exactly the problem i´m facing
can reply but never OP words alligned to others he puts the user on a shitlist.
honestly i think it has to do with google+ about why the comments aren't showing up on youtube even though you or i for example comment directly on youtube in reply to someone else or to post a link,
i think google should abolish google+ from youtube or re-implement it so that it doesn't get in the way of commenting on youtube.

I'm pretty sure google knows everything about me now and what I'm about as a user, but what irks me is that I feel like if I get into a "youtube" argument with a rachet, it doesn't allow me to defend myself and just hides my comments while everyone can see the other person's comments. Yeah it should be freedom of speech and the right to do other things on the internet buuut that's not going to happen because now I know google/youtube is evil.
You Tube and Google are not evil. Why would they block your comments.? You must be using very nasty language, that is intolerable.

Including a link to another YouTube video will result in your comment being hidden as spam unless you're on the video owner's "Approved users" list.
Links to other websites are typically allowed. However, posting excessive or repetitive links is considered spam.
Google is lazy and has an algorithm that "checks" reports on your comments, and then will ban you from commenting if there are enough reports on you. Their logic is if you are reported enough, you must be doing something bad. Really, I actually tested it out with multiple accounts, and it takes only 3 reports of harassment, or bullying, to permanently ban an account from commenting. Even comments with random English words, which makes no sense, but are in no way derogatory.. So if someone debates you and starts kicking your ass, report the rebuttal for bullying, and harassment. Google's genius algorithm will block them from commenting, even with no real reason to; and if you make just two more accounts to report the same person, they will be permanently banned from commenting(but Google doesn't have to gull to notify the individual). It is as simple, and stupid, as that.Stop using Google, Chrome (it's shit compared to Firefox anyway) and youtube, let them make money advertising from only those who hasn't been blocked by an ridiculous algorithm.
I say we fight back, and report every comment we see, no matter how mundane. If enough people are banned, Google will have to address this mess they created.
I can write and publish my comments , but once I logged out , and returned the next , The crap has been deleted .
I think the assholes who post the videos are the ones who's in control , they're the ones who can block , or ban you . I had a jackass on that site who was writing racists shit , but when I responded , he was offended . So he decided to sent an alert about me to the idiot who posted that particular video , how do I know this ? Because that jackass who posted the video , acknowledged the alert . Next thing I know all of my recent writings were deleted after I logged out of my Gmail account , or when I shut my computer down .
Google and You Tube are not racists. The employ all kinds of people. The CEO of Google or Alpabet is an South Asian gentleman. Stop your nonsense about racism.
Mr. khan please post a comment, people do not know what you are trying to say. Please rewrite what you need to know. Thanks.
I also just had a comment removed 3 times that contains 2 links about a high profiled murder but other comments without the links apear .....seems like something strange is going on as i have seen so many different comments where links are included. im confused as to why they would take down these links WITHIN a a couple of seconds i thought the owner of the video was removing them but no .......??????????????????
Most youtube channels have links disabled. Dont post them on youtube unless you know a channel enabled them. You will get marked as spam otherwise
It seems no one can see the comments I post on other peoples yout-ube videos. If I leave a comment, I can see it while Im logged in, but as soon as I log out and navigate back to the video I posted the comment under, I can no longer see the comment! I can reply to other peoples comments and they in turn will see the replies, but I am unable to post standalone comments other people will see. I am absolutely disgusted with this! I feel like my free speech is being violated and eroded away on the internet! I do not understand why or how this has happened. I am never abusive to people on you-tube. The only thing I can think of, is that a while back, a well known gaming review channel posted a review which I commented on. I objected to some of the comments the guy made in the video and said so. I was then lambasted by his legions of subscribers on his channel. It may be that they reported me for spam even though I only posted two comments and was totally non-abusive! This MAY have resulted in the situation I am in here, but in reality I have no idea why this is going on! Ive never seen anything more un-intuitive, or convoluted as google+ and needing to own a google plus account, to in turn, own a youtube account, is the icing on the stupid cake!! I feel like deleting my account right now!
May be your youtube blocked Youtube
welcome to the ghaostbanned club
i for reasons i can´t imagine am so blacklisted by google mogelie that they even delete my rather valid outrage in this forum here.... I hate them with such a burning passion by now.
I´d advice you to go ahead and get rid of every google product you use as i did except G+ due to being linked to youtube where i can´t comment on anything anymore yet i have always (since nearly 7 years now) been addicted to .
@ Google
after i generated millions of clicks you killed youtube and my abbility to post there
after i generated millions of clicks you killed youtube and my abbility to post there
pls bann me from all of your shit products already
you are the worsed there is on this planet for me ....
This blogging interface, or whatever it is is useless, its just a massive list of comments with as far as I can tell, no way of knowing who is replying to whom.
Anyway, it is obvious to all that 'they' are tightening their strangle-hold on the web. If this is by filters, report systems, moderators or taking by laws to control hosting companies... I believe we've got between 5 to 10 years before they have it all sown-up and spitting-out the same old dribble we get from the likes of the BBC.
I'm often denied posting on the BBC, Guardian and RT.com as well as others but thought I was OK with Google until recently. No comments left under a video have appeared on my Google+ site since August 2015, but as yet I haven't checked if they are actually being deleted from Google itself. [Google+ was the way I used to go back and re-read them]
Being deleted and sometime totally denied to comment on RT was the biggest surprise, as I often agree with their reports... but I guess as most they hate anyone who quotes Scripture. I guess we aught to try to enjoy these last years of free speech, before they throttle the life out of whats left.
"I have noticed that some comments of some posters do get through and others just get through to certain other posters while made invisible yet still to the majority." This is what I was talking about back when a lot of people could still see my comments, I made a video about it. Now I can't even see comments on my own videos If I sign out. I have an account that isn't connected to this one and it can see the comments. They are using this along with selectively controlling which videos you can see to separate us into easily led groups.
My posts in this forum don't even show up unless they are a reply to someone, If you see the post I made this morning then sign out and it will be gone. Also if you see the comments I make on videos (even my own) then you are probably as far up their shit list as I am.
well I cannot click on load more or comments just said loading but it take for ever and I cannot click on anything
Google does not have a political agenda. Secondly, it is their forums, so the can filter them because. Some comments are absolutely very rude and obnoxious. These forums are Google's forums and their company, therefore, Google has a right to do what they wish.
Do not ask people to boycott Google, it's people's right to do what they want. You have no right to ask people to quit Google.
FIX TIS
I have just deleted my youtube account because of this. I rarely post comments directly on youtube, I reply to other peoples comments on google +. It never once notified me, I found out today that most of my reply to other peoples comments posted after today only show up when signed in :/
I am having the same problem. There is little reason to write comments on youtube anymore. What on earth are they trying to censor? If there was something inappropriate about any of my comments then someone needs to speak up. Don't just keep blocking everything. And it must be selective blocking because a comment here and there gets through.
I have never written the nasty, vulgar stuff that some people have attempted to post on my videos. Why doesn't youtube block foul language and inappropriate sexual text? They don't because such stuff shows up in my comments to be moderated and I delete them.Same here
I don't think my comments are showing up and I haven't ever done anything "wrong" on youtube. How do I get this fixed? I already checked my privacy settings. Is there a way to contact somebody?
Ah I posted Link of YT Video in past that was mistake cuz of buggy Mouse :3 how I can fix it now 3,3
My Comments are Hidden
And Channel is Hidden too in safety mod BTW that link video wasn't mine video :3 Please Guide me how to fix this prob :3

It might be possible to contact someone at youtube, but they have grown
so large in the last several years that I think they have made it
virtually impossible to reach a representative. This is why they created
a forum so that no one would bother them. With youtube, it is something
like this- if you have a problem, they do not care. And if the problem
bothers someone that much then they can delete their account and create a
new one. That is just my thoughts about what I think that they think.
No, that is not true that You Tube do not care. They care about their customers,. The have the forums so that the Google staff and helpers can help you. You Tube does not cut off your account and give you a new one. This is totally not correct. This company is so big the have to maintain their services. If you have issues, then a staff member will get to you soon.
My issue is I get notifications that people have commented on my videos through my e-mail but then i go to my video and its not there. Its also not in my video manager. Someone please help!
I think we can all establish that we ALL have that same problem! NOW can we PLEAAASE focus on finding a solution? Because I'm scrolling through this discussion forum, hoping to get a solution but all I'm getting are the same sympathetic replies and comments like "Oh I have that problem too!" I'm looking for a solution here folks! And obviously this is just a waste of my time!
INCLUDING typing this rant! So Peace out, I'm gone!
Just for being a whiny little shit, I hope you never get your answer...
Why are you so angry? It doesn't pay to get upset about this issue. Calm down.
I OFTEN find my creative work used (without credit or permission) on fan tribute uploads, usually involving Howlin' Wolf or Arthur Crudup songs. I have nicely asked a number of such types who don't care what they snag to credit my work, as was also the wishes of my subjects photographed. I asked the blues museum (who licensed a usage after I found them already using it, on everything., to be sure to uphold their promise to add my photo credits in some part of their info line. Now I cant see anything but that big white page with tune graphics. NO comments. There's many in the blues/music field who are jealous of my very close connection to Wolf and others, it impedes their snobbery I suppose...and in some cases, opportunistic profits.. Well, whatever the case or if.. I can't see comments or "more info" option on the upload to see if my request has been honored . Sucks...YouTube has long been devolving IMHO to try to make all feel see watch the same general styles, but this is flat out wrong. Sandy Guy Schoenfeld www.howlingwolfphotos.com
Still hpening in 2015. I notice only SOME of my comments were set that so only I could see them. I found it fishy that I removed a reference to "Donkey Kong" in a comment & THEN it became visible to the public. WTF?
UPDATE: YouTube works same as always if I use Internet Explorer...which I didn't want to use, but it's not like it was if I use Chrome... not anymore... so it's not a use of censorship or, if somehow it is.. it's a poorly-done one.
Same happening to me too. Seems like they don't want certain people expressing their opinions and suspicions. At least I know I'm on the right track. Thanks for the confirmation, google. You set of fucking clowns.
I thought I was going mad, the whole community ignoring me and my very valid, well thought out opinions.
This is just another layer of the joke. Hahahahahaha
Me too even I'm big YouTuber
Google and Youtube are probly tryin to enforce some type of fascist movement against free speach. my comments are invisible when im logged out of YT but when im logged in they are visible. thats a very weak tactic Google/Youtube and ur faulty oppressive tactics are bein exposed. if u dont start lettin people voice there opinions or viewpoints as we freely can do without ur acknowledgement or permission, then i will do my part in makin this apparent to hackers and those whom dwell in the dark web to start causin problems with ur services because every person has a sovereign right to say whats on there mind as long as they arent makin death threats, encroachment threats, or illegal threats. now do ur jobs and let the people speak or else u WILL have a problem in the comin months from the unseen users that u have no control over who use the internent like us normal everyday users do. be aware that violatin our ability to speak freely is illegal in itself so dont think u can get away with the sneaky oppression u are tryin to institute because the people will ot stand for it. uve been warned.
Recently my comments are invisible for a hours or days. It's really annoying if someone declares himself a winner to a discussion and calls my a coward, because he can't see my comments.
Google and You Tube are not fascists. They do not deserve this kind of talk from anyone. Google is a multinational company and not a public company, you cannot say anything you want to them. You have no right to encourage people to go against them. your comments are very harsh and unkind towards Google. Please do not malign Google or You Tube. There is a limit as to what you can say to a big company like Google. Please mind your manners and never talk such nonsense . Not everyone is like you so they will listen to your talk, they respect and like Google, who provides such great service. You have no reason to talk against Google because of a small thing like not posting comments? They read the comments on the forums and will respond soon.
I juz find it unfair tat us (the ppl tat use Youtube / Google+ properly) get this problem yet you cn perfectly see on either, trolls with all that bs like "Go kill yourself", "You suck", etc.
I must admit Ima troll but I nvr go tat far (I'm more the jokeful type not disheartening / insulting type).
Youtube / Google+ has been giving this issue to the wrong set of people imo.
(UPDATE)
My comments on Youtube still doesn't show on Google+ even tho I tick the box tat I wan it to show thr. Usually so I cn check whether I had done any typo / accidentally send more than once, etc

The samething is happening to me. It's total bullshit! I don't know why they are doing this and I'm not going to stand for it! THIS IS STUPID! EVERY COMMENT I POST DOESN'T SHOW UP! IT'S HORRIBLE AND IT'S WRONG!
Google ruins everything they touch. I hate that company with the passion of a thousand fiery suns.
Why do you hate Google so much? They have not ruined everything they touch, they are a multinational giant company and extremely successful. They started out very small and look where they have reached. Hating someone or a company for no reason is not justified especially if they have provided the customers with so much. Google is very powerful. Watch what you say.
Thanks for sharing same has been happening to me on 2 accounts they leave peoples errors on but when people speak truth or help bring clarity they seem to be blocking them out.
Stop using my name on the forum ok. I do not go by that name. I am from America and have lived here all my life so stop your nonsense against me..Stop writing malicious things about Google . I am not a Googler, I am a big fan. What right do you have to write things about Google and other people.? You cannot write stupidity against any company. My advice to you, for all it is worth is stick to Yoytube comments, if you are so smart then you should know by now that these comments are can be used against you.
Dammit - Google is getting drunk with power! There are so many things that piss me off with Google. I have wriiten many times good, long, valuable, solution-giving cooments - and then I see it won't got published - and because I didn't copy what I wrote - it's bitch because the text I wrote was pretty well planned and thought out and to write it again takes time, and dammit, what can I say, dammit, just dammit shit I mean
It is obvious that google is implementing policies long planned, and this to bring the internet into line with our biased and propagandising News Media Corporation's... view of the World, for the purpose of forwarding their masters New World Order, if we like it or not.
William Blum - “Rogue State”
I saw a really interesting video today, feathering the historian 'William Blum' author of “Rogue State”, well worth a watch and puts things such as the topic of this thread into perspective, as the permanent dark forces behind the facade that we call 'US democracy'... re-crafts the World in their diabolical image.
I write on this stuff in my own little way, but from a Biblical perspective:
It 'feels' to me that they are now beginning to implement an authoritative structure that has been long in the making, and is only now beginning to be visible to the informed and studious. Blum rejecting Scripture can only take it as far as 'greedy men hungry for power seeking to gain control of the World', but the Biblical text goes further to reveal the endgame.
What we are now witnessing is only the beginning of their implementation, and conditioning of the masses to except far more, and the subject of this thread is a perfect example, because although all is obvious to the attentive... what can you do when those implementing it are unavailable to comment, and whom if they were... would simply deny it or suggest we are somewhat paranoid?
Additionally, I learned through your same experience to write my comments to a text file first, save it to a folder then copy and paste the contents to the web. It is as you suggest... heart breaking to take the time to lay a foundation, then build a constructive argument upon it only for it to be removed, especially when derogatory, rude and offensive comments within the same thread are left unmolested.
Personally, I do not think there is much we can do about this, it is for all intent and purposes 'one way traffic'... but to be forewarned is to be forearmed, things are about to get really weird.
Google is not privately owned, actually. It's a publicly traded company.
do subscriber comments show up as well?
Google is a public company owned by the shareholders. Any shareholder who owns more than fifty percent of the shares has the controlling interest. The Board of Directors appoint the executives like the CEO who with other executives run the company. Google is not owned by the government.
please fix it...I can't show my comment at all you tube channel
@Naaz CHARANIA: One of the reasons Google/YouTube created this discussion forum was to get feedback from users. Please stop trying to intimidate people by telling them they can't criticize Google/YouTube on this forum. I am in direct communication with Google management whose told me they actually welcome criticism from users of their services.
I can't even SEE my comments.
I'm on the look for alternative youtube and I might even reprogram my phone off of google. Since they are playing games. All of a sudden my phone just blinked off you two went off and it said that I don't have Google Ad services on my phone but on all my other accounts I can make a comment. All day realize that they pissed off somebody who's smart enough to figure out how to write a program reprogram my phone and uploaded onto my phone and then offer services for it and X theM out of the total f****** deal. And I'll use Google to figure out how to do it.
My comment didn't show up either when I checked after signing out. So, I logged back again, copied my comment, deleted it, then reposted it, and it worked! I was able to see it offline!
check this out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-wAypJwdqE
I am not telling people what to do or intimidating them, everybody has the right to say what they want. So don't tell me anything which is untrue. I am not a Google employee or helper to stop people from talking about Google. I am just an individual who happens to likes Google and I have been writing on these forums for a long time and nobody has insulted me like you did. I have told people not to use profanity and not to say anything horrible. Please refrain from using my name on the forums.
I am not a censor cop, and I am telling you never to use my name on the forum. Do not insult me. You have no right.
I doubt it's actually a bug. It's probably google trying to "hide spam" except to them spam means anything they don't agree with
I am not trying to make people see the way I want to see, let's get that straight. I am not interested in doing that. I asked you to never use my name and from now on do not send any comments about. I do not want you or anybody harassing me. This is a you tube forum and not to insult and abuse me. Next time stick to the topic and do not attack me. As I told you before I am a fan of Google that is it.
Well no you do not practice what you preach. I have realized that your hatred for free speech is indeed the culprit, I HAVE learned from you that your veiled threats are indeed something to be feared, and I will no longer post nor recognize your existence, you can continue to censor who you feel you need to. However anymore more posts with any type of threat from you posted DIRECTLY TO ME will be reported, in these days, you can no longer take a post as just words they must be taken seriously. Your threat above “This can easily become a very big problem” is enough to warrant suspicion and concern for me, your mentality and way of thinking is enough to scare anyone.
I will not post anything to you either, let bygones be bygones, I do not want to be enemies with you or anyone. So forgive me for my errors.
Hi, I am glad that this doctor was able to help you with your marriage. I wish you well, but please do no advertise on the You Tube forums. It is for you Tube only. I wish you happiness.
Google+ is anti social. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSQaIDfDGJU
Beware the bubble filters https://www.ted.com/talks/eli_pariser_beware_online_filter_bubbles?language=en
Google plus is not antisocial. They are the social media, very friendly people. You can post comments on people's posts and make friends and form circles. This is very social.
Have the same issues, and in my search for a solution I came across this video. Maybe it can help some of you to get your comments back like those who posted it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkZNh1jT6e4
The name is dreamingo favel, you could put a comment for the person to send you an email. They usually answer. For instance I sometimes comments I post on the videos.
You will get a comment from the creator of the video if your comment is polite and well intended. If you write a nasty comment, they may not reply. Good luck hope they reply.

I have exactly the same. I am so done with this American censorship scumbagery. I say we go there, start a revolution that puts power back into the hands of the people by nationalizing the most important things and restoring basic freedoms. Silently killing off the most dangerous and powerful people, corporations and others while having complete moral superiority which should be shown through an independant news channel that broadcasts with every medium possible and spread by the people. This is beyond unacceptable. I am actually furious. They want a war, a war is what they get.
Yep, same here. I am quite annoyed by this. Fuck you google you fucks.
why are you letters purple? I thought I was going crazy until I zoomed in, and sure enough they are purple.
Are you fucking serious? I've stated in YouTube videos that I'm not necessarily proud to be American. They can fucking mute all of my posts for that? That is ABSOLUTE bullshit.
They completely censor me, but they let people who spout racist, sexist, and classist bullshit. I fucking hate this.
Karl Munford, the OT's endtimes were 2400 years ago and the NT's 1950 years ago. Go back to Infowars you cretin.
Same here. Well thought out, non profane, non abusive comments against people who believe in a flat earth are visible to me when logged in, but are not visible to others. Complete BS!
I am very curious what the 2 comments said that show up on my counter but not my channel? I have no filters on, I can understand certain things said not making the public internet feed.
But I would like to see what was said in my private message in case there is something I need to be aware of!
So annoyed.

IT IS MAKING ME SOOO FREAKIN MAD!!!!!!!!!! I have a YouTube channel (feel free to check it out at YouTube.com/thedogsavior) and I can leave coments on other people's videos, but when I leave a coment on one of my videos, it doesn't show up, and in my YouTube notifications, it says people are leaving coments on my videos but when I go to see that comment on my video, it doesn't show up!!!!!!!! PLZ HELP MEEEEE!!!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Hey Zeze do not post such terrible pictures for everyone to see. What dispicable things are you saying to Google. You will be sorry for deleting your Google apps. I hope you never say such things again. You should mind your manners next time.
Such a shame that people cannot post what they want to say or show, but the censors will chide them publicly and then get angry and threatening when you point out that they are censoring other peoples conversations, basically as long as the censors are able to say what THEY want to say everyone else's comments are doomed. Sad really what a one sided world they have created.
So I found a pattern. Youtube will not publicly display posts that
have links in them. You either have to be logged into the account that
posted them or view the posts via your notifications. Annoying...
No body is a censor here. You say what you feel and I have the right to say what I want to. One cannot get away with posting the devil's pictures and threatening Google. I just tell them never to do that because there are many people who are very caustic and evil now. They want to get at people for no reason what so ever. I am not a Google employee neither am I a Google helper, I have absolutely no power to censor anyone. I am just like Google and their apps.. Please understand where I am coming from.
I was not necessarily replying to you, but I will now since you are feeling all guilty and stuff for being a censor, Since you refuse to see anyone else's point of view, I REFUSE TO "UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU ARE COMING FROM" and will always classify you as a censor, you have NO RIGHT to tell people what to write, what to say, how to say it, and what to post. I posted an apology to you on the "Re: Hello YouTube Red!" forum and said that I understand everyone's right to post what they want, BUT NOW you show me I was wrong to apologize to you. I even said so much as I would attempt to be a friend, I had no idea you were so hostile as to completely disregard my apology and continue to be the CENSOR you always will be. I can guarantee you that for each censor post you make I will reply. I can't believe that you would SLAP the extended hand that I gave to try to understand where you were coming from. It has made me realize that some people are just born mean!
I apologized to you first. No need to call me a censor, because I am not. According to me, I am still your friend. I also like Google, nobody can change that. Google has always saved my skin and I can never forget that. They have been with me through thick and thin. This is the truth.
Do you get your comments on a YouTube video scratched out with a line through the middle, for no reason you can understand? I just wrote this : "as everyone has probably already said" or something like that, and they drew a line through it. Was it because I was just being redundant? My high school teachers did that, with a note in red ink, saying "you have repeated this" which is great, for HIGH SCHOOL. Why would YouTube delete a redundant sentence? So....I googled it!!! Still no answer. YouTube didn't have an explanatory video, as you would think a googley person could find. OBAMA!!!!!
BTW, maybe we are all better off using the USPS and get constitutional guarantees that NO ONE CAN READ YOUR PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE! Sorry, I know, caps are rude.
Isn't this whole thing completely alarming?
Who still uses FaceBook? I'm just wondering. I distrusted it from the get-go when I started getting all this bombardment of "friending" from people I had never even heard of, let alone met. I even tried to find some people who said they remembered me from high school when they weren't even in my yearbook. (and my real friends never seemed to show up). Oh, well, as my mom used to say (and she had a poster in the hall saying it) "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're NOT out to get you." =)
Paula, if you bracketed "as everyone has probably said", eg if you wrote "words words words -as everyone has probably said- words words words" the formatting will count that as strikethrough text. Just be sure to leave a space between each dash (-) to avoid it :)
I never had this issue until just this week when I created a new channel, linked my YouTube account to Google+, and tried to mock a bigot by making fun of person's language. Now none of my comments are visible to anyone but me.
Apparently Google wants everyone who gets flagged by whatever is doing this censorship to leave their system. Give them their wish. Find another social media outlet.Until then, every single comment I ever made seemed to stick. Now none of them show up. Wondering if this comment on this thread will be censored also.
I suspect Google has implemented some censor bot like their search engine bot, some automated system that flags users' IP and profile and channel and starts mucking with it as an attempt to censor or drive people away. Maybe if your comment gets flagged by other users that could also muck with your profile and get your comments censored.Same here.
CENSOR ALERT - I find no picture of the DEVIL as you seem fit to chastise others; I see an abstract picture of Salvador Dali, or a picture of the ANONYMOUS character if you will. PLEASE QUIT making the forums about you, what you want to see, and suppressing others opinions. I understand that your government tells you what you need to say and see regarding posts for companies, but you need to realize these posts are not about you, you government or anything of the sort, and you interpretations are meaningless to everyone else!
Ok, now I understand why google censors statements. Look at the previous few posts. What a bunch of childish crap from that "emerald" person.
Thank you for making my point...
"EMERALD SAID-
I told you several times that I am from N. America. You have no right to criticize me. The forums are not about me they are about
You Tube. I am not putting anyone down.
Do no comment without checking the picture.
I know you will not leave me alone.
I think you go around all the forums and check if I have Last time I
ignored you. You said that I look at
Google with rose colored glasses. What
an insensitive statement. You said you
apologized, when I was the first one to do so.
You are very much against me.
Whoever I am is not your concern.
From now on do not write anything about me. It can lead to some problem. STOP THIS CRAP."
THEN ACT LIKE YOU ARE FROM N. AMERICA! I have every right to criticize you - and will continue as long as you post your CENSORSHIP towards others, and I already told you that I read the posts from the forums to learn better how to resolve issues that I have with youtube, and mostly I find your posts are made toward others criticizing them for the language they use, or try to chastise them for how they feel about youtube and google, I did look at the picture you reprimanded the poster for, saying it was the devil - it was not, and as for the ROSE COLORED GLASSES statement, I am not the one trying to censor everyone that writes something bad about google or that I find insensitive, apparently you think that is your job. I never apologized to you because you can't QUIT MAKING THE FORUMS ABOUT YOU, I am not against you and I don't dislike you, I am against your CENSORSHIP, and your inability to recognize how wrong it is. So in closing as long as you continue to make the forum posts about you and your love for google and youtube I will write my feeling for it, just using the same abilities you use, and let me advise you once more, QUIT THREATENING ME, and realize that the CRAP you speak of is CRAP you create.

@Emerald I never said you were crap, I said what you were saying was "childish crap". You called me as a person "crap". This is significantly different. I would just give up, you will not win this. You're statements are reminiscent of a wounded animal which only encourages the stronger to gang up on them.
Same here! Several comments deleted under https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAcp3BFBYw4&google_comment_id=z12dv1egeqqigpcoo04cj34q4magv1pz4qg0k.

I added google+ to my youtube account and problem solved.

Daaam right man, "citizen 4" is a prof
Yes Mr. Mcadamry agree dear, YOU ARE DAAAM right "CITIZEN 4" as a prof
This has been happening to me on and off and I have sent many complaints about it. I don't know if it's a glitch or just blatant censorship. All I know, it's annoying as fuck and I absolutely despise Google for it.
If you can see your comments and other people cannot see them, it is called ghost banning. You Tube only ghost bans, if you have written nasty comments or comments that are unsuitable for other people to read. So please be careful about what you write. Ok. Thanks
Really? I've seen multiple comments displaying racism, sexism, homophobia etc. So Why aren't those people Ghost Banned?
@Naaz Chrania Please don't state false information as if it were a fact. There have been comments as innocuous as complimenting the video, or discussions about music, being ghosted. Whereas outright hatred and trolling has still been visible.
@Hua Yu Exactly. I believe Naaz Chrania is a Google personnel trying to fill our heads with rubbish.
@Naaz CHARANIA "What problems do you have and why have you been sending messages to Google ? "
It is very frustrating, typing out thoughtful, knowledge backed statements only for them to be hidden to those not part of the "conversation". It's makes you ask yourself "why bother?", which perhaps is the goal of this move. It is not unthinkable that google is tired of having their servers being smashed by comments.
We are not talking about ghost banning necessarily as some comments are displayed. I have notices that posts with urls are ghosted, only visible to a user who is in the comment chain.
Hi, why would I deliberately fill your head with nonsense? Now come on. I was just stating some facts about ghost banning. That should not offend you. Do not use my name on the forum again, I would appreciate that, I am not a Google employee, I just write comments and do not attack anyone ever, so do not attack me .
Naaz Charania, you were not stating facts, the FACT is youtube is ghostbanning randomly. The fact is innocuous comments are being ghosted, despite however the system was intended to work, it is not working as intended. At this point I think it stems from a glitchy spam filter, since these issues started happening after G+ integration and the removal of captcha codes, and exacerbated by people maliciously marking as spam opinions, however reasonably stated, they don't agree with because the thumbs down button doesn't work anymore. However it's been years now and google hasn't fixed the issue, nor even addressed it.
No one is attacking you, we're simply discussing the issue. And your name is clearly visible on the forum. It might say "me" to you, but to everyone else it says Naaz Charania.

I know it is such a scam, if you didn't look using someone else's account you wouldn't know, it is a sneaky diversion.
Honestly If ggogle was a kid at school it would have had the crap kicked out of it by now because it spends all it's time pissing people off, it either knows or has instigated what is going on or its system is a dog turd, it stinks and makes the lawn a place you can't lie down on without thinking you are getting some on you.
It has been around longer than January 2014.
I was very upset to find my comments that I had put much thought and feeling into were not showing up unless I was logged into my own youtube account. In my case, I just had to remove hyperlinks and then they did show. B.T.W. the comments were quite long; up to 1264 characters. I was feeling unsettled about youtube after reading all the comment on this page; better now!
Good luck to all you others!
Hey mister, please do not swear at Google for no reason. Rewrite your comments without bad mouthing them. Your language is atrocious. Be careful at what you write nobody deserves this kind of treatment particularly not Google nor You Tube. Be careful with your words.
CENSOR ALERT - this person did good for a few days - her intent is to be sure that you say things the way she wants you to say them, and not the way you feel to say them, also DON'T use the name it posts under as it will retaliate with hate and extremely angry responses... So sorry you have to experience her censoring or your comment
I try to help people only occasionally I tell people not to use abusive language. My intent is to help.
I was not talking to you, I was talking to the other person that say they don't post under the name that shows up on their posts in the forum.
What would be a great improvement for all this youtube comment trouble is for the comment interface to let us know if a comment cannot be used and why; a pop up message for instance. As it is, it is incredibly frustrating.
Naaz CHARANIA and Emerald are the same person. You can tell by their will to censor and a similar neurotic undertone. We are here due to a grievance with the youtube comments system. If you have nothing to contribute please F*** off. Google is more than capable of defending themselves if they wish to do so, your "help" is not necessary or wanted.
You told me to F...k Off. How dare you. Mind your manners. You are harassing me. This can lead to serious consequence. I will not stoop down to your level. Mind your own business and leave me alone. You are a troll. This can lead to legal action and police intervention. I will not let you go so stop right now.
Do not use my name on the forums, I do not appreciate it. You have abused me because you are racist. I have saved this page for the authorities to see, I do not want to talk to you ever. The only person that can tell me to leave is Google, you are instigating others to go against me . Why are you against me, because I am a woman and different from you? What goes around comes around, understand me. If talk good about Google, that is my business, none of your business. I am not ungrateful like you. I think that you are so bitter and malicious, even sickening. Who on earth would harass a woman, except a person like you.
@Emerald. I'm not sure where to begin. Hmm ok, first off your name is already public, I'm not sure how you don't know that.
I'm a racist? You don't know my race and do not know yours nor do I care That may be the dumbest thing anyone has said in the history of the human race. ALSO I did not know your gender (again I don't care) until you disclosed that information yourself.
I am not trolling, you are. We are here with a serious grievance and you are attempting to belittle our complaint.
"This can lead to legal action and police intervention" Hmm ok... F*ck off, psycho moron.
You stop your babble. You're a troll. You are a bigot . Of course, you know my race, you are a racist , sexist, homophobic and antisemitic person, full of hate. These forums are for You Tube not writing about me, or sending me nasty messages. I want you out of my life you sick person. You need to talk to a psychiatrist soon. You are just a sick person. I have never come across anybody like you in my life. OMG, you are so disgusting an ego maniac. I find you distasteful. Just because I am a Google supporter you are hounding me. NEVER CONTACT ME, I will report you to the authorities. You hide your identity. You are a coward. You think you are gutsy. You do not know how to treat a woman.
I guess I am not the only one that see the errors in this ones posts, they accuse others of "TROLL" practice, not realizing they themselves are trolls. What I think is funny is the ANGER and THREATS they spew when it is pointed out that they are acting like the Self-Appointed Censor and Forum Police. they ONLY want people to say what THEY want to hear - not the truth - what people need to (and are free) to say.
Yes, you are some people work in pairs to harass people. They should talk about You Tube only. Self appointed police. Makes me laugh. Ha ha.
Honestly, please someone find a solution to this god-awful restriction!!!!!!!! I can't handle Google+!!!!!!
Emerald/Naaz Charania = lmao! Even when people are talking about "youtube only" you come in and throw a hissy fit and tell them not to speak bad of google. What a twat.
Its very irritating. I had a youtube account since 06 w NEVER any issues. I stepped away for a year & now upon returning there's issues everywhere. Primarily what bothers me is I post a comment to a video, it immediately shows up but as soon as I leave that video & go back I notice its not there. Its not a case of the uploader having to review it first because it would normally notify me. Whats the deal?
Martial law guys, brace yourselves
Mr. gbcali, Titans of Time is telling me to F off from the forums. He has no right to do that. This is the second time he has done that. He is a bully and should not be allowed to address me. I am allowed to write on the forums, Google knows about it. I have been writing on this forum for a long time. I appreciate your help in this matter. Thanks.
It seems the comments have been deleted so it is alright to ignore the whole thing. I will deal with these people myself. i apologize for bothering you. Thanks.
@Emerald You have the faculties of a child. It is clear you do not see how pathetic you are. "Don;t be mean to me or I'm calling the police!" You honestly belive your little problems are of concern to people busy hunting down pedophiles. You would rather than be distracted with your petty problems. Basically you are encouraging internet predators, by diverting attention of authorities (not that they would do anything but laugh at your complaints). Good job. Freedom of speech! So go and F*** off a million times there Naaz.
Oh and multi-accounting is against forum rules, so careful. Someone could report you. Not me because I don't sink to your self-entitled, immature, ignorant level. You are either a magnificant troll (and I would applaud you) or you are sincere and qualify as the worst person on the internet.Emerald: "I never said I would involve the authorities".
Oh really? See picture evidence of just that.
All you've done is come here and derail the topic.

"This forum is about You Tube not me"
Than stop making it about yourself! "This forum is about You Tube not me"
This all started because you took it on your own to say everyone here who has an issue with the youtube comment system is wrong and we should all act like you. You are a totalitarian nutcase.
@A - trometh: You have chosen to restrict who can interact with you therefore your posts will not be visible to all.
Google doesn't like informed people... they censor. They like Fox kinds of responses... name calling on garbage.
In the middle of reading these complaint... my ability to "like" posts was disabled.... without ME changing any setting... Nasty google.
If google knows what's good for it... it does exactly as instructed by the government.... because there are billons of dollars at stake.... with the government forcing surveillance devices aka smart meters on every home and building in the USA.... and then the sickening "smart" homes.... and the ever thickening blanket of microwave radiation.
I left a nice comment on someone's video and also thanking them for all the years of making videos and it's not visible. But many mean and attacking comments are. This has got to be demoralizing for creators too.
I can't remember if I went into a reply recession. mm I must have but I don't think so
Is there any way of retrieving them them back
Letta the government rules the country. Google's a company that is not connected with the government. Google's owned by the shareholders.
Google stands to gain a lot from the government... . they want to work with the wireless transmitters that are being forced on our homes.....that tend to burn down homes and eventually harm people's health. and are really for the most part just surveillance devices. Google is big on surveillance.. they get invasive.. in their attempt to be ..maybe helpful.. Most people seem not to care.
Google is pretty nice sometimes... and now that I can copy and paste again in comments.. and they haven't yet burned my house down... I guess I'll stop complaining...
Be assured that Google does not harm anybody or their property. It is good that you can cut and paste comments now.
Probably Google is caught up in the feeding frenzy with wireless technology .. I don't know what google sells...
I do know that the IARC, WHO classified radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B) ... and the only defense corporations embracing wireless technology offer is to try hard to plant seeds of doubt... Lucky for corporations, it takes about 10 years for cancers to show up... and then another 30 or 40 years to actually admit the cause and effect.. like tobacco, asbestos and the less publicized products that have quietly been taken off the market.. a few of them anyway.. usually corporations are allowed to continue killing for a few more years as they adjust to having the expense of safety ... So I just had to bring all that up.. it's my favorite cause.. .Maybe google does not harm anybody or their property.
Hooray for google.

Why should your YouTube account displease you.? It is better to write, what problems you have with them, if any, then someone from Google can address them. Ok.
Thank you - This is what I say, you are good to be able to help the Original Poster, and you guide them to tell the problems.
Thank you I feel we can work together instead of always fighting.
You're welcome, I know you are full of help and not hate, I tell you I DON'T hate you and that I am sure of. I am not mean and hateful person, but I just want to see that anyone that posts has the voice THEY NEED to speak with, and that is not always they voice and the words WE WANT to hear. I really appreciate you taking the first step to curing our difference. I did say last night that I know you are good helpful.
I am a Rand Paul supporter and watch as 3/4 of my messages get deleted/censored. Every time I've mentioned the 10th amendment also.
Worst part is that I could see my own comments, but I was the only one! Also that G+ shit is annoying.
I don't know who's doing the censoring and pesty things on comments.. I guess it could be google or a hacker. Maybe google has made a back door for government trolls... My comments get deleted or whatever too... they don't get seen...
Is it possible certain channels are just holding comments for approval, and not censoring any particular individual? I see my replies show up right away after I log out on some channels, but not on others right after I log out. And some channels...the host doesn't even log in for months. They probably aren't approving comments while they are away. Could take forever for comments to appear. For example, once I commented on a video by TotalBiscuit and my comment showed up months later...and no comments were appearing on his channel the time I posted. He was holding all comments for approval because of the large number of trolls on his videos

Google+ Logic
What do you mean Google plus logic. If you rewrite your statements sir, they can be addressed thanks.
I have kind of a different problem, I can see the notification that someone commented on my phone, but when I click on it, it says that there are no comments. what do i do?
The really disgusting thing is that they make it look like the response is there…but if you sign out, and look at the comments you will see that you are the only one that can see the comments. And this happens to people who do not use bad language, or anything else. Its all completely political. So, even if you think your comments are there, they may not be.
I think its any political comment, maybe. I made a comment defending Donald Trump, and right after that my comments stopped appearing. I also made a comment that a documentary was absurdly politically correct, and really wrong. So maybe if you make a comemnt the owner of the video doesn't like, they somehow do something to make you disappear. Its definitely NOT a glitch. Look at what people are sayingh.
I do not think that YouTube likes political comments, so why make them. It is best to make simple comments which do not involve anyone in particular. You have to be careful. It is a lesson learned for you.
Are you serious!? You are an enemy to the 1st amendment. The fact that you suggest to people to make meaningless comments that won't hurt peoples feelings is revolting. We have the right to express ourselves and support people we choose and criticize who we choose.
Trump is a divisive racist who has no actual plans to do anything for America other than attack groups of people. YET, people have the right to support him openly and I support that. It's called "freedom of speech" you are obviously not familiar with it.Naaz Charania your comment is oppressive and bigoted. I suggest you be more careful in the future to not post such malicious hate-speech.

Hua Yu my comments do not indicate any hatered towards anyone. I told him not to post personal political views.These are not racists views. I think you do not know the meaning of bigoted and racism.
This needs to be fixed. Until it is I won't be using YouTube. Nothing worse than getting into a debate where one side can post links and make lengthy arguments which you spend a great amount of time refuting, only to then learn that nobody ever saw your post. Who do I see about getting my time back? Someone made a mistake and it wasn't me.
Naaz Carania, where in my comment did I accuse racism? I said oppressive and bigoted, and your post was the definition of oppression and bigotry if you care to browse a dictionary. Please take more care to fully comprehend a statement before you reply to it.
Hua stop this right now. Bigot is a racist person, check your dictionary and learn English mister. You are lacking. Get your act tougher. This is a YouTube Forum for Google and not to harass me. Get it. There can be serious consequences for harassment.
Emerald/Naaz: For someone who loves Google so much, you sure don't know how to use it.

It's called "Repression," This is what our country has come to... and it's only getting worse.
Alternative web sites and communications between activists are shut down by government and corporations such as Google, leaving corporate media in control of most of what is aired and published. This is a form of HEAVY GOVERNMENT REPRESSION

Why would the government close web sites? It is not repression. The government does not interfere with the Internet.
I don't know, keeps happening to me. I as soon as I click out of the video, I can't see it, but people can reply to it. WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!?!?!
Titans of time, don't you dare call me a fascist got it. I do not have the time or interest to speak to you. You are harassing me, which is a crime. You can set into trouble. Harassing a woman is sickening so go away. I am not an enemy of the first amendment. You are an egoist, racist etc. You are just for yourself and others mean nothing to you. Next time you bad mouth me or interfere with my comments, you will be in trouble. I do not care who you are or what you do or where you come from. You just like to write nasty, comments. I have not forgotten what you called me before. I have record of it. So watch your mouth Mr Big shot. I do not forget that easily.
That's exactly what a fascist would say. I haven't said anything remotely racist you liar. Also, I have records of all your nonsense as well so run and tell that.
Maybe you don't forget ... but you don't tell the truth either...
Here's a falsehood I quote from Emerald...
"Why would the government close web sites? It is not repression. The government does not interfere with the Internet. """
I can't think of a bigger lie than that.
Titans of times you hide behind your name. You do not print your real name. This is a YouTube forum and not yours' Ok. This is all owned by Google and you should mind your manners. Hitler was a fascist and so was Mousallini and Idi Amin. You fit their discription very well I must say. Keep to the topic. I find it very hilarious when you write your childish comments. I get a kick out of it. At least you are paying attention to me, negative but you still are paying attention.
Letta Mogo, the government makes up many rules and regulations for the business, even if they are small or big. They need to follow these rules to survive because the government has many lawyers who get after the companies. The government will not close down a company for no reason. They slap fines which the company has to pay or they can be in trouble.
Admission of trolling. Reported.

Hua, you and Titans of time are working together, both trolls and not worth talking to. Leave me alone you enjoy harassing women, who are weaker than you. You are an abuser. So now keep away from me and my comments. This is a You Tube forum. You do not need to get off the point. Ok get it?
From now on, I will never respond to you people, if I see your comment I will delete it.
Good luck with deleting my comments...
I don;t see you sharing your name, so why would I? That was idiotic and suggesting that I reveal my personal information to you is worthy of being reported, not to mention hypocritical.
My name is Kevin by the way.
This is not my forum, it is also not yours. You do not work for Google. You are a delusional fascist who thinks you are significant and everyone should act like you.
Hitler was a fascist yes (good job) and so were his zombie followers that simply regurgitated his propaganda. Sound familiar?
What you literally said is that woman are intellectually inferior, which is obviously not true. You are a troll, you are sexist and you are a fascist.
I said deleting your comments from my computer not from the forums.
Corporations have basically overthrown the government. The rules for corporations are systematically being removed.. Fines of a few million are sometimes imposed after decades and generations of peoples' lives have been damaged beyond repair... and after the company has made billions in profits...on the backs of the workers and communities they cause to have cancer and mental retardation and early deaths. Companies fight even paying a small bit of their profits ... Deregulations of corporations was noticed during the Regan years. They Bill Clinton passed some severely destructive deregulations.. and here we are today in a nation with a run-away cancer epidemic.. And people so misinformed and uninformed they actually believe the government still has something to do with the safety and protection of we the people. We are a pitiful population if we believe what Emerald is promoting.
Well... You just won the internet.
Google and others like them might not agree anyone other than they and their cronies can win anything... not even freedom of speech for long.
Disqus too, scum alert!
Seems to fit the description of gas lighting. This is so messed up there is comments with rude words and adverts getting thru and decent people led to believe they are in the minority and being ignored.
u cant keep repeating comments over and over it counts as a spam
You cannot keep repeating the same comment over and over especially if it is malicious. Like saying to a creator his music is not good and then repeat the same comments to other creators.
You cannot put the same comments on YouTube especially if it is malicious, you can be banned.
This is neither true nor helpful. On multiple occasions, I have posted non-malicious original comments (not repeats) only to find them ghost banned.
Have you been rude to people or used abusive or racists, homophobic and antisemitic comments. You Tube does not like this. Most of the comments are deleted by the creators only a few serious ones are deleted by You Tube.
I don't buy that for one bit. There are literally millions of racist, homophobic, antisemitic etc.. comments that have remained visible on YouTube for months (years in a lot of cases).
You Tube and Google are going to clean out all the trolls and nasty comments from You Tube. Nobody will be spared.
You Tube is the process of removing nasty comments, including trolls. This is going to happen soon.
As of right now, they're doing a horrible job. It seems like comments are just getting deleted at random.
It takes a great deal of time to remove these nasty comments. You Tube is a big company and a WWW website.
Yet they find the time to delete random comments that are harmless and are not spam. Time for me to mute this post. This is going nowhere and you and Naaz are agitating the hell outta people by stating things that are simply not factual. I have a slight suspicion that you and Naaz are Google employees who are here to cover up your broken system by convincing the customers that it is their fault their comments are getting deleted. Tell your superiors that I find this business practice to be quite cowardly. I called out Naaz as a Google employee over a month ago and I now believe this to be true more than ever. If anyone think I'm wrong, just scroll up to the top of the screen. Notice it states "2 experts" have replied in this thread. IT'S EMERALD AND NAAZ. They're undercover Google representatives trying to do damage control by dishing out lies. Well, I don't wanna hear it anymore. Have a good one :)

Naaz/Emerald is not a Google employee and the 2 experts who have replied on this thread are myself and 182BEVERLEI.
Why on this god forsaken earth would I be called a Google employee. The Google employees have to be qualified with a degree in computer science. They have knowledge of the computer. I just write for Google. Thank you very much. Google knows me for your information, so do not think of me as a troll. You, Titans of time called me the f word and it is a shame nobody pointed that out.
If you got something to say that Satan doesn't like, he's just gonna shut you out. He's a coward little bitch that can't take the fact that people are on to his ass. Fuckin' google had to be sellouts, just like the government and the pigs.
Omg what is all this swearing for ? Please be calm and good to all . Ok
That's exactly correct Judge Marco. Google following the government's lead. Bill Clinton's deregulating the media so now we only hear what Made-in-China General Electric allows us to hear... basically depriving us of freedom of the press... and causing a nation of misinformed, uninformed... people.. spouting Fox's insane non-logical phrases. And now, looks like Clinton's wife will be president... either her or the ignorant clown ... So sad for our country.
Omg, a liar, lying to defend Google. is saying to be calm and good to all. Spit, spit, spit.
Emerald/Naaz represents the worst qualities of the human species. The type of mentality that enables fascists to create a plutocracy.
This is off topic ... but speaking of Nazis and all that:
Other than Emerald (spit, spit, spit) ...
Who do you think would be the candidates most likely to continue the Bush-0bama twins destruction and death of the USA...
i.e. the continued escalation of cancer and heart disease and shortening of our life span...
the robbery of freedom of speech, mass murders and despicable crimes against humanity....
I think the champion picks of the worst of the worst are Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

I guess the voter machines will make sure that's who we get...
And I'm guessing Hillary will be their pick to be president.. She definitely has plenty of corruption experience, and like her husband, she plays ball with anyone that has what she wants..
Ha that's funny. I said "Naaz" (Emeralds alternate account) not nazi, but yea basically the same thing =]
To answer your question: HillaryI have this problem too. On my videos I get notifications, but when i click on it it says 'comments not found'
You know Titans of Time and Letto Mogo, I dealt with other people who hated me, now they are my friends. I made peace with them, I actually think they are nice people.
my comments have been showing above on my notifications but then when I click on them to take me there it doesn't show anything. It lets some comments show but not others. Help? I have no idea why???
Also having these issues don't expect google to do shit all.
The VIDEOS are controversial, it's the law that the other side gets equal time -at least in campaigns, so who's deciding?
I hope it's just a bug (same problem in 2016).
I hope it's just a bug (same problem in 2016).
They must have deleted your message because it could be unsuitable for others to read. If you use very abusive language, racist, or you could be trolling, Google would remove your comments. I am not saying that you said all these things or trolled, these are examples of what could have happened.
Nope. I often leave polite comments praising President Putin, and now my comments added to Youtube pages relating to him are only visible to me after I log in. Furthermore, I receive email notifications of other comments in the thread but they fail to appear at all, but, no doubt, only appear to the person who wrote it. It's blatant political censorship on behalf of the Washington warmongers.
Same here
Crank Case it is not political censorship. The reason could be that your comments were inappropriate for others to read. Or you put the same comment many times. Repeating a comment several times, especially if it nasty, is spamming. You have been ghost banned. Means you can view your comments, but others cannot.
me too. i can't make any comments on it either.
change Top comments first- (sorting)--it shows up when you're logged in-- to Most Recent comments first. One thing.
I just want to add that I have similar issues. It seems like my comments are "ghost banned" but sometimes they show up a day or so later (but I can usually see them when I'm logged in. They aren't visible when I'm not logged in). I know it's not specific channels because it happens across various channels, and channels that I know don't filter comments. I do visit and comment on various political and religious channels, but I never trolled or was hostile towards specific people. I only would criticize, praise, or question various ideas. I don't know if that somehow has gotten me on a "ghost ban" list. But it's extremely frustrating to have this happen with no notification and no recourse. So right now, I can't have a discussion on youtube on various serious topics because my comments may not show up without any warning. Unfortunately, it seems this is the direction a lot of social services are going like Facebook and Twitter. I don't think it's a bug in that sometimes comments are broken, but it might be a bug in the comment filter algorithm. But if I've never been hostile, the only other factor I can think of that the algorithms might factor are controversial political and religious discussions.
IS FREE SPEECH DEAD NOW ??
When i'm logged in i can see my comment but when i log out my comment is gone !
I can only see my comment when i'm logged in.
Me too. Now I'm wondering....
Doesn't work all the time. He's right- showing your comment when you're logged in if in fact the video owner isn't accepting it is kind of sneaky isn't it? Even if it's awaiting approval, to show it to the writer and think no ones replying..I wish Google would speak out on this.
Belgian, free speech is not dead at all. You cannot abuse anyone or say: racist , homophobic, sexist, and spam someone is not allowed. Thanks,
It clearly is political censorship, because it only happens in the comments of Youtube videos where I defend Putin, and do so without any inappropriate language. Others on the same page who criticise Putin - many with inappropriate language - continue to appear. Not for nothing has Google been tied in to the Washington warmonger machine, currently caught out reducing ranking points for any websites critical of Hillary Clinton, who happens to be the warmongers' favourite candidate in the US Presidential race.
Why do you keep showing up around here? Your obviously a problem person of
some kind. This is a help forum, but you are not helping. No one is interested in
your fruitcake comments on racism or bigotry. Those things have nothing to do
with the issue here. Have you nothing to do but comment on here all day? Get a
life you troll!
Guys, when you log out, be sure to check "newest comments first" from the dropdown under the video you posted a comment on. If you still dont see your comment, report it to youtube via the feedback option. You most likely wont get a response from youtube but someone might fix your issue without notifying you. If nothing happens then keep reporting it via feedback.
"Racism and bigotry", the usual two words of blockheads brainwashed in accordance with the degenerate agenda of Cultural Marxism. Of course, you don't object to political censorship, just as long as it silences anything that contradicts your own opinions.
Guys, pay no attention to Emerald. This a person pretends to be a Google employee dishing out patronizing "advice" and warnings. Emerald is a fascist, troll and a pathetic person with apparently nothing better to do than attempt to feel important on a Google product forum.
Titans of time mind your own business, you evil person. You troll. I never pretend to be a Google employee. Keep to yourself, I do not need your dirty, ugly, nonsense. I have told you one and now again, if you harass me, I will take action against you.
I'd like to see you try. I have proof of you multi-accounting, imitating a Google Employee, demeaning women and calling people racists or sexists completely unwarranted. Bring it on.
Most likely they disabled comments or you have some type of block like AD BLOCKER.
This is happening because they might have blocked you, marked you as spam, etc.

It is not an Adblock that You Tube uses to block someone, it is all computerized. You have to be more careful next time. No swearing, spamming, saying nasty words etc.

I just replied to someone I will see it with the account I replied with but when I switch to different mine acc. comment isn''t shown ..
Goolge are fkin bastards.. so you think u are with community group laughing but u not seen.. pretty disgraceful crafty cunty from goole bstrds !
It is like you are outside with group laughing exchanging saying everybody laughing you laughing and after 5 minutes u realise ; hang on a minute .. nobody is reacting on me nobody is looking at me nobody is responding on me.. so from other user ppl u are basically invisible ..like u talking to fkin see through mirror only from one side like at the police station !!!
And another political thing is that crafty cnts usa if it political then if USA ppl using utub they will NEVER see others videos but only usa vids UNTIL specifically someone search it .. so basically the rest of the world can do F**K all on youtube WILL NEVER have so many views or subscribers than USA It is on purpose filtered ,.. secondly USA ppl don't give F**k of other youtubers than USAs . There is one exeption PEWDIPie OOkaay only ONE and ONLY person from outside which google can't do anything about it anymore so he has been kind of ''unblocked'' exception because of his popularity so USA youtube auto search will show it to USA youtube users.. but that's it NO ONE ELSE outside of usa is so popular .. So fo those who wants to get rich from youtube unfortunately have to travel to USA and start youtube career from there and upload vids there then u will gain many views .. if u outside usa dont even BOTHER !
all is about money .. they have to keep money inside US ;)
Hopefully if we keep this thread going, maybe google will take notice
I cant write anything at my comment bar/ option . Again and again I am asking your help . still it is locked !
Hi grasshopper, you will be able to comment on YouTube once you join the Google plus. The social media. They are good you'll like them. I like Google plus because they have communities. Like birds, animals food, exercise etc. You name it they have it. Second you can post pictures and people respond to it. I wish you success.
Logged in (my reply visible):
then logged out (my reply censored out by YouTube):
Are you kidding? I can't believe that specifically because there are tons of videos about religion.
I also wanted to add that YouTube sent me a message that they deleted my comment. Otherwise do u think it's the video owners only wanting comments that support them?
Emerald, that's not true.
Spamming is not allowed. You can be banned and not know it. Your comments will not be deleted, but others cannot see what you write.
Spamming? I don't spam, and neither do I troll, nor use extreme profanities. However, I'm finding that my undeleted comments are only visible to me, and comments from people responding to me do not appear when I'm logged into my account. There is only one factor where this is happening, and it is because I'm arguing in defence of Putin and Russia's state policies, and just by coincidence it is Putin and Russia who oppose the Western elite's New World Order and its degenerate Cultural Marxist agenda. Conclusion: Google/Youtube is indulging in political censorship on behalf of corporate globalism.
That's exactly what is happening to me! Someone please help.
A friend just put a comment on a YouTube entry - it appeared and then it vanished. Also, I suspect that Google had a hand in messing up my online albums posted on my website. The source of the albums was Picasa and they were looking great and worked. Now anyone viewing the site has to go to Picasa to run a slide show or else I have to re-enter new links - had already successfully done that!
What are some other popular video upload sites?
Live leak doesn't sensor - going there
Matthew what do you mean exactly. I think you mean ghost banning. Your comments are visible to you and not to others. Have you being spamming? If you repeat the same comments over and over . This might be regarded as spam. Your name would go automatically into a spam folder. Mostly the up loaders of videos ban people. You Tube can ban you too.
Is there an offial information about that? I find it more than weird my comments are hidden but without informing me about that.
Some/lots/most (how many, which one ?) of my comments are hidden. Only if I comment on another comment youtube seem to show it.
Why is that? And how to turn it off? Thats really alarming. YouTube should inform the user if YouTube is going to hide a comment and why.
Help the users to understand and make this process transparency and offensive comprehensible. At the moment before hiding, and at an official FAQ. By not doing that, YouTube supports many people will see this as censorship, as you cann read in the comments here.
For example I make a comment to this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anmDcVeuZwA, on how to use the YouTube automatic translator, but the comment is only seen when I am logged in. The URL to this comment is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anmDcVeuZwA&lc=z12tvhnxfpzushkty22revtywky1s5jv4

I can see a REPLY you made to someone elses comment, however I don’t see any comments made by you. If you log out and go to the dropdown menu below the video and select "newest comments first", you should be able to see your reply to the persons comment. However there is a problem that people been having whereby no one can see comments you post on youtube. Other people can only see replies you make to other peoples comments and even then, they would be hidden. This was happening to me ALL the time!! Every single comment was hidden apart from replies. Also, some people have their accounts set so that they have to approve comments before they appear under their videos. However, you are most likely having the same problem I was having. Keep reporting the issue to youtube via feedback.You wont get any replies but someone will eventually fix it for you. If not, keep reporting it.
" youtube via feedback" Where is that?
In cameras, if you have been spamming, then the up loaders of the videos or sometimes You Tube bans your comments. It is done automatically. You do not even know that you have been banned. Your comments are there but invisible to others. Sometimes a person's comments are first checked and then posted. I do not mean that you have been banned, I just explained what ghost banning is.
@Emerald: Oh really? So just how do uploaders ban comments from particular people? I've looked, yet see no method of banning particular commentators from my uploads. Furthermore, if they have been banned, why are can they still be seen by the one who made the comment but not by anyone else? This stinks of an outright deception by Google/Youtube.
You Tube does not inform the person that they are going to be ghost banned. It is a shock when you find this out, Crank Case. You Tube will never tell a person or warn them about being ghost banned. So why spam in the first place, that is what I feel.
Go to “home” on you-tube and at the bottom of the page to
the right of the youtube logo, you should see the “help” box. Click on that and
select feedback from the menu. Fill out the feedback dialog box and report the problem.
@Emerald: You're answering a completely different question to the one I asked. Assuming you're not being deliberately evasive, you should read it more carefully.
I cannot say that it is deception, by You Tube. The spam filters block all the comments which are considered as spam. Nobody wants junk comments, which could be malicious for companies or individuals.
I've never indulged in spamming, and neither have I indulged in trolling, as I've already stated. When I forward arguments I always support them with rationalisation, yet here I am finding myself on the wrong side of Google/Youtube censorship.

See linked reference.
Furthermore, if they have been banned, why are can they still be seen by the one who made the comment but not by anyone else?
In addition to yourself, the uploader of the video you're commenting on can see your comments and unhide them if they choose to.
In which case Youtube allows political propaganda to be posted with the option for the uploader to deny a right of reply to false statements. That demonstrates what a load of shite Youtube has become since it was acquired by Google.
Maybe Youtube only wants "political correct" comments.... If that is the case let's boycott Youtube
Does it make sense to boycott You Tube, and how do you know what they want.
According to you what is political correct comments? You think you tube only want comments that they like. That is untrue. A company has to have comments that's positive and negative. That is the way they can know their problems.
Please disregard Emerald/Naaz (same person). This person is a nefarious troll and promotes fascism. This person does not represent Google or YouTube and is a total loon.
People please disregard Titans of Time, he is an abuser, troll and harasses me for no reason whatsoever. He can be charged for harassing a female. He has absolutely no feelings for other people. These trolls they hurt and enjoy it. They are sadistic individuals who have nothing better to do. Quit harassing me, you bigot. Stay out of my life. Kevin is his name. He hides behind his name.
How can I be hiding behind my name after I told you my actual real name?
What have I said that is remotely sexist or racist? You are a crazy person.
I don't care what gender or race you are. You are derailing this thread by spreading misinformation. You are not helping anyone, quite the opposite.What have I said that is remotely sexist or racist? You are a crazy person.
This has happened to me as well I cant see any comments at all I only see an empty add public comment box that does not work.
Literally I voiced my opinion on basically how Alex's super in SF5 is just T.Hawks Dive move turned into a grapple super. Literally in the next hour pressing on the comment text area completely blocks me the key board doesn't even activate period lmao I guess I caused some serious butthurt! Yes I was upset and maybe moderately aggressive here's to the official launch of Internet 2.0! To make it even more hilarious I literally can't comment on any video period clearly the butthurt is strong with this one GOOOOOD LET THE HATEFUL CENSORSHIP FLOW THROUGH YOU GOOGLE!!! Rant done hope they censor me here to so I can jump to another site and continue tearing them a new a**h***!
Ha they censored my reply that refers to the secret legislative terminology that literally names their censorship initiative.
I can't even post a comment and it sucks
Comments will not show up, if you have been banned from You Tube comments. You can be banned for spamming.
So you're blocking comments random lvl5 you can't hide truth forever no one here spammed plain and simple it's an outdated bill from 1998.
The same was happening with me. I would type a comment, then it wouldn't show up. I found out that what was happening was that every comment I was posting automatically went to a video I watched a few weeks ago. It was awful, because I made a comment about this comedy video being really stupid, and the glitch sent it to a video about Syrian refugees! The amount of hate comments I got from that post is what made me realize where all my comments were going. OOPS! :(

Yep same here, this is really fishy
Youtube makes you think your comment posts so you'll come back and watch more videos. THAT IS STEALING FROM THE PUBLIC. We give, we get back, that's how it's supposed to work. We give views, which amounts to revenue on youtube, we get back conversation with actual human beings. To rob us of that is illegal. It's like paying for a meal and getting an air sandwich in return. If we get comments back, they are from mods or possibly bots in order to make people think they're comment is seen. None of the comments will show up when using someone else's computer. It's disgusting and they should be sued for mental abuse.
Youtube censorship is suppressing voice, while making the person think they are talking to other human beings besides youtube mods. Only the mods can see the comments, and they abuse people who are ghosted like they're some kind of superiority over the one being muted. This is abusive and there needs to be a class action lawsuit against youtube for this. How many years has this been going on? Time is money, and many people post in order to create relationships based on mutual interests, without spamming. Sometimes these relationships form groups, and sometimes collaborations that make all parties happy. Just like when the founders of youtube began. They met in a place they didn't own. Now they suppress the people their owned place.
It is not You Tube that ghost bans someone from making comments. It is the creators who can ban comments on their videos. You tube bans when they feel that the person who is putting the comments is a spammer. So stop spamming.
Youtube censorship is suppressing voice, while making the person think they are talking to other human beings besides youtube mods. Only the mods can see the comments, and they abuse people who are ghosted like they're some kind of superiority over the one being muted. "
Really? Someone else told me this too. But they're not censoring this discussion
If someone spams, you do not expect You Tube to take that nonsense. What fun do they get out of harassment? You tube does not censor people for no reason. They are very fair.
I don't think you could possibly be serious here. If your comment is ghosted, no one else can see it, so how can you tell other youtubers? The only way to get the word out is other platforms like Facebook, and even then, certain topics talked about on facebook can also be ghosted by facebook. It's voice suppression across the board.
I can see this comment here but when I click on it it vanishes. Even this forum keeps people from seeing each other's comments.
I had the same problem.
When I scroll down under my video, my YouTube comments were not showing up.
How do I fix it?
I checked everywhere.

Incorrect. Video comments hidden as likely spam by YouTube's automated spam filter are also visible to the owner of the video. Video owners can override YouTube's spam filter and "Approve" hidden comments to make them visible.
Im having a similar issue. Theres no email or google plus notification about my comments being replied to
I can tell because I have few different google accounts for different purposes and my account B clearly can't see my comment put as my google account A on somebody else channel.
I think the others might be right here, it is either automatic spam filter OR creator just do hides them himself.
I retract earlier message, after checking on other channel my comments too are filtered out! this is definitely YouTube doings, just out of curiosity is anyone seeing my comments here?
The creators ban people. You Tube bans on very rare occasions. Spam is a not allowed.
The communist want to
control the whole world.
control the whole world.
No communist can control the world. You are wrong. Calm down
You are spamming. You are repeating the same comment so many times.
my comments was not show after logout and any other user and in any pc without logged in.how solve this issue.
This not restricted to Google, it is happening all over the internet. If you post something that is polite, considered, and respectful but it runs against the current PC thought, you will find that it is blocked. It will show on your own laptop but if you go to another laptop, on a different IP, you will see that your post is not being displayed. So, not only are they blocking your posts but they try to fool you into thinking your post is actually displaying. This happens at Huffington, ABC, USAToday, and many other places. This is very concerning and a direct threat to 1st Amendment rights. It is also hypocritical. These agencies would be the first to cry foul if they felt that freedom of the press was being infringed upon, yet they willingly deny others their right to 1st Amendment protections. Big Brother is surely here. It is scary.
Commenting on upcoming elections, I just wanted to say that Sanders needs 655 and Clinton 362 Primary election delegates to win and Sanders will win if he gets average 64% votes. Tried to comment under several channels, and my comments don't show.
so can't you at least tell us how to find the youtube videos that talk about how youtube doesn't show your comments if they don't like you.
It is not that You Tube does not like you. Always moderate your comments, never spam, like repeating the same comment all the time eg I hate this music. The creators of the videos can ban your comments from showing. You can find out more from You Tube. Go to You Tube and search for why they ghost ban people.
This is the first day i'm experiencing this..Does youtube actually apply "shadowbanning" without warning?
the way i noticed something wierd was when being asked "Who are you?", when being the first replying on a comment reply...which contained no link, slur or X-bomb words.
No such thing enabled in my situation..
Why would Google *not* like me...
#1 I have never intentionally insulted or threatened any commenter on any video....I've called 3rd parties muppets, idiots, fools and whatever name suitable for keemstar...But hey, no skin of my back.
You tube can ghost ban you without warning. So keep your comments to a moderate level. Also do not spam. Repeat one thing over and over agin, like I hate your video.
Comment confusion..Disregard anything but the one's highlighted in red boxes.
Even the debater (wich i blurred out the name of) seemed to be confused.
Your fist paragraph pretty musch descibes what i experienxed here in this comment thread.
Google is just another progressive propaganda machine like all the rest of the American media. Everything they believe can easily be destroyed by simple logic and reason, so they use censorship. Cowardly losers.
Simon, why are u so upset with Google? Calm down and take a deep breath.
This happens to me as well.Nobody can see my comments
Watch this video; https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CPh5qWWXwnI
They've been using a new tactic as of late. Now that a lot of people are catching on to this Ghost banning nonsense, recently, I notice every now and then when I sign out of my account so I can go back and check if my post is visible, I can't see ANY of the replies on the comment. Not mines or anyone else's. I can only see the original comment. So when this happens, you don't even have a way of checking whether or not your comment is visible to others. This is getting out of hand. Has anyone else experienced this?
@Yardiol: Yes. As an example, I went to that link provided by Sky Wolf (the comment before yours), and on it I saw a comment made by me some time ago (it even says the comment was made 1 month ago, when it was actually made at least three months ago). There are also some responses to my comment. I then opened the same page with a browser where I am not signed into Youtube, but both my comment and the responses in the thread are not there. There was no bad language or abuse made, just a polite question about the video that someone to, and I'm finding this happening to my comments throughout Youtube.
Check this video guyshttps://youtube.com/watch?v=_alYROZvKYE
What has a video posted here from a drooling Bill Gates fanboy such as you have to do with this discussion?
You are advertising for black magic. This is unacceptable. How can it work? If it did you would be God.
I'm having the same issue.
Unrelated to YouTube. I feel the same with Craigslist. Suppression of free speech every time they flag or ghost me!!! These company's / websites are anti American!!!SAME 
Marina none of your downloads work. It is blank.
Comments hidden from everyone else but me...
If a person has been spamming, repeating the same comment over and over again, the person could be ghost banned. That means only the person can see their comments and nobody else. For example if you say "oh I hate this video it is disgusting". This person could be banned from posting comments. Your comments go into spam folder. Always be conservative with your comments. The creators can ban you and sometimes You Tube.
Dear Users...
I tried and tried and realised the problem(s).
If any user(s) has/have the word "hate" and "terror" etc... words that are now currently politically incorrect, sensitive or whatsoever, Youtube will secretly deny posting your comment(s) onto the video(s).
I edited my old comment(s) which unwittingly contained the above-mentioned words. I think Google quietly kicked in these filter measures and as a result, my posts which in the past were able to be posted, are now disappearing from public view.
Even removing the edited comment(s) won't work. You would have to create a new comment without the offending words and your post(s) would reflect immediately in the video(s).
Hope that would help any of you out there~!
i used to have a good flow of everything i had ever commented. but when i started a boycott against the duggars i have not seen one comment since. my last one was nov. 2015
Please sign my petition:
I thought I was experiencing this same problem but I simply changed the comment sorting button from "Top Comments" to "Newest First". This is likely what is happening to you rather than there being a problem or being censored
No, it is not changing the settings - many people hare having their comments deleted/hidden:

I am seeing this a LOT lately. I can call someone an idiot, or worse and they can see the post and respond. Then I post a simple comment talking against censorship, or political correctness and I am the only one who can see it. Youtube and google are blue penciling a lot of conservative posts, not the ones were "conservatives" are shouting "retard", or "cuck", but ones that are calm and actually make sense. We need an alternative to google and youtube quickly!
Hi GrandOldPuba, I can assure you this is not only happening with conservative comments, I am quite far to the left and many comments I make (with out swear words) are shadow banned in exactly the same way. It seems to happen when I comment quite a lot—I'm convinced it's the spam filter, or the result of someone who tagged your post as spam because they did not like something you said. Please sign my petition banning ghost banning, please share it as much as possible: https://www.change.org/p/google-inc-abolish-ghost-banning-on-youtube-comments
Des Oliver and GrandOldPuba, lol yep. I don't comment about anything politics related left or right and it's still happening.
You are the 1st person to voice this same problem...mine is a bit different in the fact that I have never been able to receive not ( 1 ) comment ever from anyone...It is very hard to continue making videos with absolutely no feedback and not to be able to converse with the people that are keeping our channels online. Very frustrating....AAAAAARRRRGH!!
Whew!! That felt great to get off my chest!....Thanks!! Please contact me and discuss this problem....maybe you can help shed some light on this issue ;anyone really
I have gotten nothing but tutorials and suggestive instructions to change configurations on my channels ...and nothing has ever worked.

Way to go Google. Sorry ... lost interest. Delete Google+ page. Delete Youtube channel (20,000 subscribers, 137 original videos). Delete Google account. Recommend to all and everywhere: if you can't interact, don't bother with Google or Google+. Period.
I'm guessing they broke something that didn't need fixing.. not for the first time, wont be the last either. lol
Sign my petition to sort this out.
this is still happening to me now what do i do about it
Every Vid I go to, I can't see anything. Just the Description and that's it. The Comments Section just dissapeared. Please fix this.
I don't see any comments at all by anyone. the comments section is blank???????????
WHOMEVER THE SLIMY ASSWIPE COWARD IS THAT DISABLED MY COMMENTS MUST BE A PROFOUNDLY MALADJUSTED LIBERAL CUNT THAT BELIEVES THAT I DON'T HAVE SIX OTHER ACCOUNTS,...WHAT A PATHETICALLY SAD LITTLE SACK OF INANE ANAL SEEPAGE YOU ARE.
THANKS FOR THE help !!
When I said my comments section was blank, I was referring to the comments section on my subscriptions. I do not have my own channel. I only had to say I did so that I could comment on channels I subscribe to.
Unfortunately, all this is as a result of the rise of Generation Snowflake, who want to impose their own safe places to protect themselves from any unwelcome opinions. It's also caused the abolition of 'thumbs-down' voting on the comments sections of various websites, including Youtube. It's enough to make you want to vomit.
I've noticed I can make one comment/reply and it will show when I sign out, but if I make more comments straight after and sign out to look at them they are not there. It's as if Youtube have put a timer on until you can next comment and others will be able to see it.
Is this the same for anyone else?
Is this the same for anyone else?
And why exactly would you say you're not proud to be American?
I cant see anything on the video nothing show on your YouTube
It's simple, people. What has happened is one of two things. Either you were posting repeated URLs(or repeating the same comment) or someone has been clicking you as spam. People usually do this when they are badly losing a discussion. As a result, you are the only person who can see your comments. It's another failure of Youtube. Now trolls can make multiple accounts and falsely mark people as spam to keep them from being seen. You have to expect this because liberals run Youtube/Google. The only thing you can do is make another account or move to another video. I believe if a group of trolls repeatedly marks you as spam you may be affected on all videos
At times you can post one comment every few hours on the video you are experiencing trouble with.Isaiah, try to clear the cookies and cache on your web browser. If that does not work use another browser. Good luck with this.

I noticed this the other day. Bunch of abusive comments on my comment thread, perfectinly fine. All the supportive ones marked as spam and me unable to restore them.
I don't use google search anymore due to their results becoming more and more irrelevant and obviously biased, and now their products, including youtube, are becoming more and more irrelevant to my internet experience.
It's a privately owned company and domain, not a public service. Keep that in mind. It's convenience that is sold. We eat that shit up. Don't like it? Come up with a better solution. Let me know when you do. I'll let you know if I stumble across one as well. Until then, keep rambling.
Google (who owns Youtube) may indeed be privately owned, but its actively abusing its monopoly status by being partisan in its treatment of free speech and expression in favour of the NWO Cultural Marxist agenda.
It's nothing to do with 'liberals' - I am liberal and argue quite a bit with conservatives. I'm still one of the impacted users. This affects us all, sign my petition:
I am limited to one reply per video. The second reply/comment is marked as spam. Google/Youtube is a joke. It has been a joke ever since Google took over.
The main issue(although there are other factors in the spam filter) is abuse of flagging comments as spam. If you post something that is controversial or unpopular or something three people dislike enough to flag as spam, you will be ghost banned by YouTube for 24 hours(thats right, just 3 people flagging your comment results in a ghost ban). This is where it gets fuzzy. Once your ban is up you can post only a certain number of times per 24 hours before your comments will be ghost banned. This number seems to vary(probably based on number of times you have been flagged and overall account 'reputation') but 7-9 original comments and 3 replies to other comments seems about average. Any comment past this allotment will be ghost banned. Any comments marked as spam will earn you another 24 hour ghost ban. The amount of time each ghost ban lasts seems to increase depending on how low your 'reputation' is. If it is low enough they will ghost ban you and remove your ability to restore a comment that was marked as spam, even when it is your thread and the comment is not spam.
Other factors include, copy paste, links, channel owners blocking people(has a massive effect on reputation), OPs flagging as spam(will ghost you in that thread), repetitive posts, posting too many comments too quickly, and more. It seems Youtube would rather no one comment at all.
Many users have done some statistical analysis and found that on (a generous)average the spam filter removes 80%-90% legit(not spam) comments. That means at least 4/5 comments marked as spam are not spam in anyway. Clearly this is a system that is broken.
While not directly censoring, this effectively removes any unpopular opinion from YouTube. All it takes is a few sophomoric close-minded people to read one of your innocent comments and you are ghosted. The free exchange of ideas is paramount to a democracy. Stiffing that is not aligned with American principals and only relegates people into echo chambers with no intellectual growth or tolerance of opposing ideals. One could argue they implemented this spam filter(and refuse to fix or even address this issue) because they knew this would be the effect and that is exactly what they want.
What a shame. The internet is a shell of its former self.

Your reputation is probably very low. The good and stupid news is, if you stop commenting at all for an unknown amount of time, your reputation will be restored to zero(starting point).
The owner of the video may have comment filtering on. Meaning the channel owner has to approve the comment.
Let me know if that sounds right?
Freedom of speech is something granted by the government. Google is a company, and YouTube is a product. Neither of them grant you freedom of speech. They can do whatever they want, including silencing people's comments. Unless the government is censoring you, you can't claim your right to free speech are being infringed upon.
The government isn't censoring or silencing people here, Google is (or may be). Therefor talking about rights and such doesn't apply. The government can't censor your political speech, but Google sure as hell can when you're commenting on their boards. They're a company.. not the US Government.
Having similar problem. Only see my comments when logged in, and have never gotten a thumbs up/down or reply on anything I've done. Not even sure if what I'm typing now will get posted. I've never been abusive or broken any laws or anything like that.
Also, I'd like to tut-tut the people screaming rights and freedom of speech. The government grants you that right, not some company - which Google is. The government can't censor your political speech, but a company can sure as hell decide what they want on their comments or forums. This is NOT related to freedom of speech. Again, Google is a company, and can censor you all day if they choose. If the government were to come around and do it, then you'd have a case.. but Google is not the US Government. Silly Geese. Google is a public company, their stocks are trading on the market. The people who own the majority of stock, make the decisions. Google is not the government. The government is run by elected members of the parliament and the President is at the head with his ministers. In Canada they have the Senate as well. Google is not the government at all. Google has to abide by the government rules and regulations.
It might not be illegal, but it is certainly immoral.Byne said:

View counts stop at 301 because that's the point at which all those visits are verified by Youtube personnel. It's a control measure, to make sure people don't cheat in order to increase the view count of their videos.
After some days, the view counter of the video will show the actual number of views and keep counting up until the next control point.
"appear to be awake while I see so many sleeping."... LOL, if by "awake" you mean being an ignorant, then yes, you are definitely awake dude, XD.
This started happening to me recently, at first it was just a few comments. And ones with any kind of url in them. Now it is 90% of my comments posted that are not visible to anyone but me. Very frustrating.
Google likes to censor, frankly I hate that a site as good as youtube is owned by douchebags like google. I can't share my comments.
It is not a glitch that Google isn't fixing. It is a deliberate blocking of my questions. I asked Colonial Airstream a dealer if Airstream surreptitiously personal data about me. It I am not logged in to youtube the comment is not visible. Only when I login can I see it. It's Chinese style censorship.
This is the same issue with ghost banning -- plea sign my petition:
https://www.change.org/p/google-inc-abolish-shadow-banning-on-youtube-comments
Mr. You are trying to get money from people. You are a scammers. People be careful of responding to this person. Never use his gmail address.
Mr Adams you are a spammer. You wrote one comment many times.
Allow me to explain a few reasons why your comments aren't "showing up":
First, when someone posts a reply directly to a video, they are effectively the moderator of that reply. Any comments on that reply can be quickly removed by the original poster by flagging it, or by blocking the person who posted it. If you have made a long and thought out reply to, say, a NeoNazi who you ripped a new butthole, he _will_ be able to remove it from his thread if he so chooses. This can also occur if enough of the people reading that post flag your comment in some manner. This is intended to keep threads safe, but I have seen it used to silence critics. I, myself, routinely use it to remove horrible nasty disgusting replies to comments I have made. When I do it, it's not censorship, as I leave anyone actually disagreeing with me in a civil manner, and engage them in debate. I, however, am in the minority, it seems. Too often, it is used to remove things which simply do not praise the author of the reply.
Second, if you're on mobile, the Google+ app can tend to break from time to time. This is, at current date, the only way I personally have found to reply to posts on mobile devices. If you're on mobile, and you _know_ that there should be more replies than there are, either restart the Google+ Application, or restart your mobile device. I have had this happen on many occasions.
Finally, stop crowing about censorship. Google doesn't have time to look at all of your posts, evaluate if you're the "right kind of people" to be making those post, and to silence people who they don't agree with. All curation is either done by algorithms, or by the original posters of the comment you're replying to. Yes, someone might be silencing you, but if so, it is your fault for engaging with an childish moron who thinks it's funny to taunt people and then flag their comments.
Anyone who found this helpful, please vote this up. This whole question is filled with such ridiculous misinformation that I just don't know what to do with myself.

Just an update, comment ghosting is still alive and well in 2016.
it's wonkey, sometimes i can get a comment through but mostly not. i vote this is a criminaly unconstitutional censorship thing.
Stop buying products that google and you tube promote... and let the companies know why you won't spend your money with them. Google has stopped free speech on you tube. Google should stop getting all support from the American people. Although it is big of them not to completely censor everything...
Really?!?! That's Crazy!! Where is The Freedom of Speech??

Doesn't make censorship any less scummyI have just start ed on Safari in Jan. 16 re. American Idol I noted "comments" under records I was looking for and started writing. No obscenities, name calling, proper English, non political (Prince, bonnie Raitt, Beth Harte and lots of Bible verses quoted WITH citations IN RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS POSED. Great positive complimentary feedback. ALL OF A SUDDEN IN Red "COMMENT failed to post." No rhyme or reason. Not computer Savvy; new Apple so don't know ow to reach goggle: when I got one office they said they only service PAID accounts whatever that means. Friends are stunned. Don't know what to do a as there s no way of reaching whoever they are.
I'M A bible prophesy nut and I am 100% sure that we are at the beginning of the 7 last years when google,the FBI, the UN Facebook or any evil entities will exist no more . But first God will shake up this world . It's so true . You must ask Jesus into your heart now to escape this time period. Rapture is any day now In (October 2016) followed by catastrophes. (WWlll is my guess). The google guys and all illuminati support is cursed to the Lake of Fire (the supermassive black hole in the Milky Way center). You don't want to go there! Every time they stop me from printing I know that my God will get the message across if He wants it to go. I also think " to bad for that fool at the computer that's tries stopping me". I win he loses.
You are not correct, Google, Facebook and other web sites are not evil. Think about it. Perhaps these sites will progress really fast.

Yep. I've also noticed that in other situations I can see my comments but they appear to be ignored. So I take a look at the same page with an alternative browser that's not logged into Youtube and I find that those comments are not visible, because they are being hidden from everyone else.
Of course, Google just ignores these forums.

That surely hasn't anything to do with comments that doesn't show up .
i have the notification that someone has commented but when i click on it it takes me to the video but i cant find the comment in the comment section. And there was this person i suggested spam and i couldn't find the comment on my video. so why has this been happening?
If you go to the page not showing the comment, I suggest you go to that page in another browser that is not signed into your Google+ account. You will then see it there. However, the problem is that you need to sign into your account in order to sign on, but you do that, the comment disappears again.
I haven't experienced it myself for some time, likely due to it only happening on certain channels. It looks like shenanigans by Google/Youtube, and I complained about it long ago but, as usual, nothing was done to rectify the issue.
I am very worried about google's apparent ghosting techniques. Why does all the hateful stuff stay? If the goal was to fight trolls there are so many better ways to do it. Have web-bot tests as an option for each page. Have better tools that let commenters, not just page owners, individually hide those they do not want to see. I can think of a huge number of things to try that do not required dubious centralised censorship.
What we have here may be the perfect echo chamber engine. I have often wondered if page owners specifically ban thoughtful counterarguments to their narrative and leave the trash ones. It creates a polarising environment where only your side appears capable of rational thought and everyone on the other side are trolls just defecating propaganda.
