all the top comments just happen to be very very recent, nothing to see here

that isn't evidence of deletion

cuz unrelated comments would just linger

Dude, the top comments currently are:

again

you are arguing against yourself

The video is old, but the top comments are only 6 minutes old.

if they were being deleted

unrelated comments would fill it

the fact that "ADL Conspiracy!" comments are in the top

is evidence against yourself

Unless the unrelated comments don't have as many likes, I would guess.

I imagine "congrats 100 mil" would get plenty

So, a recent comment with lots of likes gets more visibility than a recent one with no or very few likes.

@Coolitic The top comments are ADL conspiracy related, but they are **all different comments than a minute ago**.

So they are not the same comments. They are being deleted.

that

isn't

evidence

of

deletion

Also, it's possible that older comments aren't showing up due to some tool or algorithm that's meant to make the curation task easier, and it's just borking.

What would be evidence?

unrelated comments would fill if that were the case

What does "unrelated comments would fill if that were the case" even mean?

comments that aren't being deleted

they would linger

have way more upvotes

and fill the top section

but they arent

He's assuming that this is precision curation, and that older comments don't draw suspicion to the ADL or raise the question of blackmail would be ignored by their deletion, and therefore tend to rise to the top of the timeline.

it's more plausible to say that YT may be tweaking the algo to circulate comments faster

not "ADL deleting!"

Which would be correct, if that's all they were doing. Assuming there were a sufficient number of older comments with any degree of likes.

But depending on the method and tools they're implementing, this might not be the case.

again, all speculation, with very weak evidence

@Coolitic It would be an odd co-incidence. ADL mentioned, PDP subreddits under verifiable purge, etc.

idk about subreddits

cuz I rarely use reddit

And it's so happened in the past that the same thing has occurred with attempts to bury or throttle certain topics or channels. They're rarely super precise. Possibly either due to the incompetency of their method, or just the attempt to seem more random to disguise intent.

refreshing sorting by top comments the top comment had 200+ likes and was 8 minutes old, its now 62 likes and 4 minutes old
