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

Yeah, definitely something fucky is going on.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

@whiic yea, I also liked that one

A lot of this is basically new tech and methods, and it's likely what's happening is that the specific people utilizing them are a bit out of their league in terms how to use them elegantly.

Just copy URLs of a bunch of comments by clicking on their timestamps

And return an hour or so later

And post the URLs

This will give an idea how many and what kind of comments are being deleted

I just noticed my comment was also deleted

If your comment is deleted, it would still be visible to you, but you'll have to post the URL in Incognito mode or log out of youtube

To check if its deleted

I'll come back in a few hours to check if they're still there

Go and look at the comments and keep refreshing every couple mins if you really wanna know.

Yup
