    I already addressed this here in another comment right after I posted because I know people always claim this lol (based on what I saw of Reddit threads discussing this issue). No it’s not the creators, it’s 100% YouTube bots. There’s a slight possibility it could be people working for YouTube in certain cases on popular channels but mostly it’s definitely bots. I often know the creators personally and they’ve confirmed they’re not deleting them and they don’t know why it happens.

      Google likes to tell lies like they don’t delete comments, but they do all the time.

      You would think users wouldn’t take their word at face value anymore but they still do!

        Tell me where Google claimed that they don’t delete comments. They obviously clear spam and other shit. And they do that completely officially.

      Then you are probably shadowbanned on Youtube directly. Can happen if you post too much shit too frequently.

        Even if they’re not yet shadowbanned, they certainly will when they start using homoglyph attacks.
        Whether it’s justified or not, I can’t say because I’ve seen none of these comments, but it will absolutely confirm OP as a red flag in their system when they try to bypass it.
