  • Youtube is rewriting users comments

    An interesting bug has been caught by this youtuber, who is seeing the comments he's posting being altered on submission.

    I already try not to use YouTube, now I'm going to try harder...

        I watch the videos do not comment on them usually.

          I use Youtube, but almost never leave comments. Interesting observation.

            From what I've read in the comments from that video, that might happen if you're using a VPN that makes your IP look like it comes from another country. That being said, apparently YT has also been caught immediately demonetizing videos after they were uploaded so it's entirely possible Google is being skeevy.

                The CEO of Reddit was caught personally doing this to user comments in a pro-Trump subreddit awhile back.

                  Yeah, Spez, wasn't it? And it was to user comments in r/The_Donald, I think.

                            This would definitely be a solution for everything.
