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

2019-09-11 00:33:33 UTC  

is evidence against yourself

2019-09-11 00:33:38 UTC  

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

2019-09-11 00:33:52 UTC  

I imagine "congrats 100 mil" would get plenty

2019-09-11 00:33:56 UTC  

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

2019-09-11 00:34:16 UTC  

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

2019-09-11 00:34:25 UTC  

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

2019-09-11 00:34:29 UTC  

that

2019-09-11 00:34:31 UTC  

isn't

2019-09-11 00:34:32 UTC  

evidence

2019-09-11 00:34:33 UTC  

of

2019-09-11 00:34:34 UTC  

deletion

2019-09-11 00:34:38 UTC  

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.

2019-09-11 00:34:38 UTC  

What would be evidence?

2019-09-11 00:34:44 UTC  

unrelated comments would fill if that were the case

2019-09-11 00:35:15 UTC  

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

2019-09-11 00:35:23 UTC  

comments that aren't being deleted

2019-09-11 00:35:30 UTC  

they would linger

2019-09-11 00:35:32 UTC  

have way more upvotes

2019-09-11 00:35:36 UTC  

and fill the top section

2019-09-11 00:35:39 UTC  

but they arent

2019-09-11 00:35:58 UTC  

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.

2019-09-11 00:36:00 UTC  

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

2019-09-11 00:36:07 UTC  

not "ADL deleting!"

2019-09-11 00:36:22 UTC  

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.

2019-09-11 00:36:40 UTC  

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

2019-09-11 00:36:50 UTC  

again, all speculation, with very weak evidence

2019-09-11 00:37:00 UTC  

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

2019-09-11 00:37:08 UTC  

idk about subreddits

2019-09-11 00:37:12 UTC  

cuz I rarely use reddit

2019-09-11 00:37:27 UTC  

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.

2019-09-11 00:38:08 UTC  

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

2019-09-11 00:38:32 UTC  

Yeah, definitely something fucky is going on.

2019-09-11 00:39:10 UTC  

Well, if they were only censoring ADL content, the blue pillers would not be deleted, and reach the top and drown out the conspiracy. That's the theory at least.

2019-09-11 00:39:37 UTC  

And It does seem like everything gets purged. Either incompetence or whatever.

2019-09-11 00:40:29 UTC  

That said, even incomptent censor would probably understand to leave one PDP sycophant who doesn't understand ADL reference to remain on trending, to lessen the burden of deleting everything.

2019-09-11 00:40:32 UTC  

What's possibly occurring is that they're putting comments into a kind of limbo after they appear, so that they can be manually reviewed before being republished, but that this doesn't activate immediately so as to carry the superficial pretense that people can still freely comment.

2019-09-11 00:40:58 UTC  

But even without **ANY** of the comment purging, PDP's video was very, very odd. Like a cryptic war declaration.

2019-09-11 00:41:04 UTC  

It would make sense given the level of PDP's comment traffic.

2019-09-11 00:42:43 UTC  

"The A|D|L cries out in pain as he strikes you."
Nice quote.

2019-09-11 00:43:10 UTC  

Like, remember the Amazon Ambassadors thing? Where they very obviously seemed to have just one person using multiple accounts, and what likely happened was that the mechanism which helps to diversify their tweet sources to make it look like more people were engaged fucked up, and made them look like a freaking hive mind.
