I didn’t know that youtube was doing that. It would not surprise me since a majority of the comments on many events are conservative. I do know that another twitter purge of conservatives has begun. The left must control the narrative. They are willing to go to any lengths to do that.
Keep in mind that GAB is about to launch something called “Dissenter”. This is a browser app that will let anyone type in any internet page and then be able to comment on it. The comments will be viewable by everyone. The left has gone to extreme efforts to kill Gab because it is not censored by political views.
The app was due an update, and once performed, the issue was resolved.
I think they have disabled chat, not comments.
The good news is the FR may soon be the ONLY place you can post comments...………………………...
I saw in the news that you tube has been getting hit in the comments section by perverts trying pick up young kids. It may be their only way of avoiding them
Google bought YouTube, and is in the process of killing it via ads and snooping.
Yet another prime example of leftists destroying everything on which they place their vile hands.
Maybe you did not include enough profanity. That seems to be required.
I’ve noticed that the “deep state” has stopped a lot of comments on various platforms. Very aggravating. It is as if “they” don’t want us to communicate our feelings.
I’m looking at Youtube right now and their comments sections are open and available also
The YouTube app on my iPad recently changed to not supporting comments.
It doesn’t show any anymore.
I never commented, but always read comments.
I’m a registered Youtube member. I can post comments.
“The app was due an update, and once performed, the issue was resolved.”
Yeah, I’m in the same boat, but not planning to update.
Everybody gets a chance to decide what is toxic. Once everybody decides what is toxic, then NOBODY
can comment.
YouTube has been choking conservative content in various ways.
Demonetization is obviously one but not the only one.
The warnings that something is “controversial” poisons the well against it being viewed.
A regular tactic for them is simply falsely rating it as adult so you can’t see it unless you’re over 18 and logged in. That prevents kids on their computers, people in libraries or casual browsers from seeing it.
Next up is limiting social interaction. If people can’t like or share, that limits the reach of the video and interaction used to raise the video’s position in search results.
Limiting COMMENTING does something similar. If you can’t comment, you don’t stay those extra seconds on the page that improve engagement numbers. Nor do you interact with the content in a way that makes you more likely to share. For example, you come back to see if the content creator pinned your comment or replied to it. The page gets more views as a result, improving its SEO, and you’re more likely to share.
There’s also the negative image of content that doesn’t seem to get engagement. It is the same psychology of choosing the product with 500 reviews over the one with 5.
I know a youtube vid is verrry controversial when you scroll down & it says,
“Comments have been disabled for this video”
Vids about Islam, Muslims, Paki rape gangs, Tommy Robinson, and the Arab-Israeli conflict are most likely to be comment disabled.
Gee.....I wonder why?
I’ve often noticed that even at liberal sites comments are almost always dominated by conservatives
all liberals can do is scream and use!’s and call names just like they do in person
It’s quite Hillarious where people use humor with that stuff and completely biting humor at the Liberals and all they can do is use all caps and ends
I’m sure liberals troll free republic but they wouldn’t ever post
Thank you once again Jim !
This was one of the first websites I ever saw. Engineering lab had a computer with “ internet “. This was 1994 or 5 . I clearly remRemember this is the peak of Clinton scandals number 13 and 14 or something like that and I was religiously looking at this guy
“ beach bum “ Clinton scandals webpage and then he referred me to this site. I was h2 dude then ( was and still am a hydrogen guy just put in solar panels now ) and got banned for trying to sell I guess
What Jim has done here in beyond incredible
Those of us in CA know the valley and north is like 60% conservative.
Fresno is an interesting junction. Just up in the Mountains from Fresno is the south entrance to Yosemite and also some incredible lakes and Hot Springs
I’m out in Manteca Inn Stockton a lot to you drive down the road in Manteca and there’s giant American flags every 20 feet on multiple streets
So It’s not all flaming Marxists they just scream louder and more obnoxious
Most liberals are out here actually nice and just misguided
Bump
Meaning it can be arbitrarily updated to apply to anything youtube for a liberal fascist objects to.
Can others post comments on your videos? Hard for me to tell by the phrasing in the italicized quote.
And do YouTubers have to pay extra to allow comments?
